Okay, one vote per customer - a defining moment on video that for you solidifies the fact that the Rolling Stones were, are and always will be, the best freaking band in the universe - I mean, that's why we're here, right?

my vote - the Stones doing Chuck Berry in '72 - proof positive that there is a God

I vote for the whole Hampton 81 show (but 72 L&G follows).

At the moment I think that THIS is it - this clip captures the VERY unique moment of inspiration when the greatest r&r band of the world is actually born - these kind of moments of creative spark comes probably only once in life. And the guys seem to realize that they have a big gun in their hands now, and no hostages will be taken no more!





If I had another votes, I would go "I'm Alright" of NME Pool Winners concert 1964 or "When the Whip Comes Down" of Hampton '81 or....

I think the JJF promo posted by Doxa is the very finest one
[edit: there's actually an even better promo - in colours, but not the "standard one"....officially released on those "singles collection"-sets]
Bye Bye Johnny of 72 gets a high ranking tho'

I agree that JJF is absolutely incredible - it's psychedelic, it's rock, it's punk - it's everything great about rock'n'roll.

This one also does it for me. It's the Stones in all their creeping, menacing psychedelic glory. And boy, don't they just mean it. The lyrics are transcendental - yup, they're probably inspired by Vietnam but haven't we all felt that storm a-threatenin'. Everybody has those Gimme Shelter moments and that's why this song is so timeless and affecting.
Keith's riff feels like it was cooked in a Voodoo stew and left out to simmer while the wind was howling down a night filled with fire and brimstone.

I think what makes a video clip ESPECIALLY dangerous, is when the band itself knows how good and badass they are at that moment. So the JJF video is that way; all of the L&G concerts are that way. And a good bit of the 69 tour is this way. In 69 you can tell that the band was still kind of re-discovering itself and the new stages. but when Jagger cuts loose on e.g "Satisfaction" in 69 it is hot.

Wow both the JJF posted by Doxa and GS posted by Silver Dagger are hillarious! I have never seen them before. Are they available on some bootleg? The GS clip really should be part of the GS movie! There is obviously so much stuff that could be released officially even without much of special treatment. Both those clips are great quallity. It is a shame that all this stuff is officailly hidden somewhere.

Hi Happy - the JJF clip is one of several promos the band shot to accompany the singly. The Gimme Shelter film comes from a show called BBC Pop Go The Sixties.

From East Rutherford, Let's spend the night together movie.
There are thousands of defining video moments of course. Today I go with this one.

I second or third, whatever it is, hbwriter's nomination. Bye Bye Johnny.

Take a careful look at this clip and tell me if you reckon the cameraman or director got Bill mixed up with Keith (maybe because Bill, not Keith, is standing "Keith-side" )? Of course Mick gets the lion's share of the camera's attention, but Bill seems to get the "lead-guitarist's share" and everyone else gets a bit of what's left. Fantastic performance though, and I love Charlie in this clip - eyes shut, absolutely lost in concentration.

However, for the answer to this thread, I'll go with Doxa's JJF clip, which I haven't seen before - when & where was this?

JJF in Bremen. Splendid. Doesn´t get better than that.

It gets way better....





Enough said.

Agree. Bill gets a disproportionate amount of viewing time. Always nice to see Bill but how can you not give Keith is dues on one of his best ever riffs.

A lot of classics posted here.
This one always works:

I have all those singles collections & will be playing them tonight!

That Bremen, '98, is absolutely filthy.

That Bremen clip is outrageous. Insane! I got a stomach ache watching it. Some bad rock'n roll. They start waving that Union Jack in Keith's face and he's like pounding his chest, LOL. Jagger is great. He stays at the mike whole first part; I love that. Even DJ was getting in on it. Bernard, Lisa..

that happy clip has audio that doesn't match--watch/listen around :36-:37

BBJ started out in Vancouver with Taylor on lead. Then the song became a guitar extravaganza with Taylor and Richards bouncing the rhythm parts back and forth between leads. Charlotte and the MSG birthday show are terrific as well. That song signals the race to the end. Afterward I felt run over by a Mack truck. Whew! Those guitars!

Cool topic. Too hard to choose one, so I'll give my one vote and then an honorary mention. Vote goes to GS from Paradiso. Shows why they will always be the best. They outdo themselves--and every other rock act for that matter--here...





Honorary mention: Fort Worth '78. along with the studio recording of 'Down the Road Apiece' this is THE definition of rock and roll:




Who else could pull this stuff off?

38 seconds in is the famous Jagdance!

This one:

"Midnight Rambler" 2006 Part II:

........just a rehersal....but perhaps one of the greatest moments caught on video of the creative genius that was the glimmers........a great bromance for sure.........hats off to the rest of them too..

Rip - this is my runner up - an amazing piece - watching the '72 form before your eyes (even though this was not in the set)
