I'm in the good company of our friend Keith Richards, who adores Mozart more than any other musician. The man has certainly musical feeling. At least the Stones music, the great Stones music that is, is also very structured and loose at the same time. It's also western influences that influenced the great Stones music (I'm of course not talking about the inferior stuff like Start Me Up, Miss You, Dance and the likes).

You never really liked the bluesy stuff or the Berry rockers in the Brian era, then.
FYI, there is just as much of melody, if not more, in One Hit - as in Dancing With Mr D. How Can I Stop is more melodic than Till The Next Goodbye.
That you are not liking a song doesn't mean that it isn't melodic. All About You, what about that one?

Great song which nicks the riff from Trampled Underfoot.

I like the songs with a certain feel, mood and melody the most, especially live ('cause I'm much more in listening to live music than to the well known studio albums, which don't surprise me any longer: I know them like the palm of my hand, so to speak. The Berry rockers don't indeed do much to me, but albums like TSMR, Aftermath and Between the Buttons have much feel, mood and melody. Let It Bleed contains fantastic songs (GS, MR, YCAGWYW, LIV for example), but I always prefer the Taylor-era live versions, how great the GS studio version may be.
The early, 'primitive' live Stones are musically not interesting to me, the live Stones with Taylor I can listen to many times, because there's always something new to discover. The 3.0 band became more and more one dimensional and has never attracted me. Especially the melodic section of that version of the band fails imo. It simply says nothing to me: they often sound as a mediocre tribute band: many great songs, but poor renditions without feel and emotion.
But Dandie, I know they're your well appreciated cup of tea, and you know they're not mine. I stick to let's say the first 10 years. That's for me the 'true' Rolling Stones. After that they are an act to me which I'm not interested in.

In other words, you're not really a fan of The Rolling Stones, certainly not the true Rolling Stones as a live band for that was the band with Brian Jones in it.
When someone can't appreciate the actual original live band opinions such as "Taylor is the best of the stones" are rendered totally ridiculous. Well, it's ridiculous anyway, but hey.
You don't rate the actual real thing, but think some 'could have been anyone' replacement as the best of a band and it's the real thing? That's a joke!

Kleerie, you're "not interested" in stuff like Live In England 65?
Really? Really??
Why don't you just stick with Taylor solo, then? Do you actually listen to the songs apart from Taylor's guitar?
Unfathomable...

Erm, you didn't see them live till 1973. That's missing the boat some what with regards to the original Rolling Stones.
You part of some revolution? Pleade!

Not so much, because I hate to be amidst of (roaring) masses. Part of, indeed, in a passive way of course.

You didn't see them live, end of story.
This rubbish about it not being about the music only further shows how ridiculous you can be.

These early 'primitive' Rolling Stones have those special qualities which got more or less lost when they developed other qualities. Among them, in direct relation to the music itself, an unsurpassable quality is that musical ecstasy. I will never blame or disregard girls for screaming, exposed to that. Without screaming, I feel the ecstacy myself. I am open to it and deepest down want to be caught by it in the form of (Rolling Stones) music when possible. It has been that way since.
It was not until 1970 that I was present at a Stones concert, even if I had been aware of them since the first album and had had records from them since late 1965, when I at long last got my first record player as a gift. But I never obtained to be present at a live concert with Brian Jones in the band. I could have had one chance, but I was not really mobile enough at the time.
These takes, which you presented, His Najesty, I had not seen or heard (and they seemed to be blocked all of them when I tried to listen to the third).

Just a decade before (give or take a couple of years) they were opening albums with songs like 'Sympathy For the Devil', 'Gimme Shelter', 'Brown Sugar' & 'Rocks Off' instead of filler like this.
IMO, it's up there with the other songs you mentioned.

Yeah funk it is! And I disagree about Miss You being disco. No another slab of funk. Very Curtis Mayfieldish. To many grinding guitars, harmonica, and grit for it to be disco. Now Emotional Rescue was more towards disco than anything they did.
You may add Too Much Blood and Back To Zero as well

Not earphones at work. However, towards morning and deep into the night, when I am to listen to what you posted, DandelionPowderman, instead of that, there are only icons of exclamation mark. Exactly what clicking at the third of His Majesty's offerings, led to.
So I am sorry, J can't judge, Dandelion, whether you are right or not. The claim that later Stones 3.0 should have that ecstatic component, which early .Rolling Stones 1.0 had-
Even the tracks from the El Mocambo Club of LOVE YOU LIVE, good as they were, did not have that. In fact, far from it.
Sincerely, not simply out of being prejudiced, I have to say, I doubt it

You mean you don't own the "Live In Texas" CDs or DVDs??
I was referring to what you called "the "primitive and special qualities". They surely put more emphasis on that from the Pathe Marconi Sessions, SG the album and the 1978 tour and on.

No, I don't own it.
What I doubted was not primitive qualities, but if there is present in the same manner the ecstatic somponent which early Rolling Stones were remarkable for.
