Speaking of Brown Sugar this article is worth checking out

"Brown Sugar is a dirty song about slavery and sex and I love it"

If I've learned anything during this election season, it's that this is literally what "bandwagon" means. I've known the term but had no idea of the actual meaning.

Mick Jagger: “I think it was actually Charlie’s idea. Jazz, in the old days in Harlem… they used to do promotions for their gigs on flatbed trucks. Every time we try to do a piece of promotion now.”

Mick Really puts everything he has on the song...

Nowadays Mick is a little bit more "controlled" I think...

In 70s they had many at the same time loose, spontaneous feeling but very powerful and exciting live performances... Like Brussels Affair is.

Of course in this flatbed truck case it's easier to play one song in maximum level than 2 hour concert.

All around brilliant, music, promotional and entertainment-wise.

The "thumb up" feature would be nice on this forum. I mean like on Facebook.

Sometimes it feels the performing Mick Jagger is totally another person that "the normal" Mick Jagger. He really changes at the stage... Normally quite controlled person but at the stage very wild.

Charlie only the drummer???
This is an example of a very modest suggestion with a great impact by a great musician. Charlie Watts, who else?

Does anybody have one of those flyers Mick was tossing out? Mr. Lee?

This is the first time I've heard this version. And it's the first time I've heard a version that repeats the intro at the end.They should do that more often.

Keith does that a lot, also on recent versions. He's not consistent with it, though.

Mick sang the «hear him whip the women-line». Never noticed that before.
