Favourites- Gimme Shelter,Street Fighting Man, Sympathy for the Devil. More to follow. I make a solid promise Mick that if I'm am ever in your neck of the woods or you mine, give me 2 Dark and Stormy's or the equivalent, it won't take much, I will rock out with you to GIMME SHELTER. That is one of the very many Stones songs that I absolutely can never get enough of. Mrs. Cactus can join in as well. T. will likely, although he loves it as much as I do will likely sit and enjoy. (he has so much neurological pain going on in his knees that it would be dangerous for him to join in). He does however, take enormous pleasure in watching me dance and rock out. One prerequisite, it must be played LOUD
Date?

When I was growing up you were either a Stones fan (cool) or a Beatles fan. I was 7 in 1963 and thought that the Beatles were wonderful. I thought that Mick Jagger was awful, hated the way he jerked and twitched about and thought his voice was terrible. Obviously born a nerd and not cool. Quite liked them as I got older but I only know their hits....whereas I still know the words to many many Beatles songs. I was a Beatles person, too, probably greatly influenced by the jukebox in the Nancy botanical gardens which seemed to have only unknown (to me) French stuff in June 1964 but also I Wanna Hold Your Hand and She Was Just Seventeen. Since I spent the whole year in France, I learned to appreciate the French songs and also Petula Clark, who was superstar that year. Returning to the United States, I finally discovered the Stones. The big hit in 1965 was Satisfaction, which I really liked, and it was obvious that the Beatles could have never sung such a song. But I still continued to prefer the Beatles...

I can appreciate talent, like the Stones and the Beatles, but in that era I preferred Motown. In fact I still do.

There was a time for Beatles, and a time for the Rolling Stones
Turn, Turn, Turn
I was more a anti-war folk music pre-hippy...Joan Baez, Dylan and Pete Seeger, but the others were good for dancing...
Edit to add:- how could I forget how I dug Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin with Jethro Tull my 3rd "Super J" trio?

I always liked both The Stones and The Beatles for different reasons.
The Beatles were to me more poetic and in a way, for lack of a better word "cerebral", thought provoking.
The Stones were much more conducive to rocking out.
I too, loved Jethro Tull Questa and saw them likely three or four times.
I played the flute for many, many years from the time I was 10 years old.
From a technical standpoint Ian Anderson was not a great flutist but he sure worked the hell out of that pipe.
(I was able to master the melody of Bourre, it's actually a pretty easy tune to finger).

On Sky Arts Saturday night they had a brilliant programme about Ronnie Wood showing his artistic talent and with lots of music including this Rolling Stones gem that I had never seen before.
Come in Casimira....

I just found out that "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was a B side track. ("Honky Tonk Women" was the other side.)
Here are mono versions, which is how we originally heard them ~

I am in love with this youtube video not only because it's such early Stones, but because the camera person obviously wasn't working under optimum conditions and yet got such exciting results. Continue reading below the video to see what I found after that & what I'm sharing here. From the information included in that video: "The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling - Ireland 1965 is an intimate, behind-the-scenes diary of life on the road with the young Stones. It features the first professionally filmed concert performances of the band and documents the early frenzy of their fans and the riots the band’s appearances inspired. Charlie is my Darling is a rediscovered letter from a lost world. It has long been a holy grail of rock fans, surfacing in bits and pieces and tantalizing but frustratingly un-synched fragments. The band is shown traveling through the Irish countryside by train; dashing from cabs to cramped, basement dressing rooms through screaming hordes of fans. Motel rooms host impromptu songwriting sessions and familiar classics are heard in their infancy as riff and lyric are united. This new 2012 version of the film with added never-before-seen footage was directed and restored by director Mick Gochanour and producer Robin Klein ..." Here is the whole movie! It's only in SD, but looks pretty good. Be aware that I don't know if this is pirate video or not, so proceed with caution & ad blockers ~ m4uhd.tv/watch-movie-the-rolling-stones-charlie-is-my-darling--ireland-1965-2012-222115.htmlThe movie can also be bought or rented: thestreamable.com/movies/the-rolling-stones-charlie-is-my-darling-ireland-1965-2012For the UK: www.comparetv.co.uk/streaming-tv/the-rolling-stones-charlie-is-my-darling-ireland-1965-movie-live-stream-uk/

Thinking of those times again, I remember being in 9th grade and one of my classmates -- Marcia -- had been to a major concert in our region. (Her family had money.) It wasn't the Stones or any other group in that category, but the main thing she said was "We didn't hear any of the music because we were screaming the whole time."

My husband told me that back in the 1960's when The Beatles performed here at City Park Stadium he was so annoyed because the music was drowned out by screaming female teens.
