Worried About You

This was the first concert of the Stones after L’Wren died. To me it was as Mick wanted to do it for her. So I found it an emotional song to do for him at this concert. It was my feeling of it at least.
Not a great video as I was sitting in the back high up in the stadium in Oslo 2014 opening concert 14 On Fire tour with my “Lucky Dip” tickets .
I filmed it with my iPhone 4S. It was my second time hearing this song live after Cirkus Krone 2003. Great song. I love it.

One of my favorite Stones tune, I wish that outtake boot was fixed to be normal speed.

As much as I love Worried About You - I find the outtake with original vocals far, far better. It sounds live, Jagger sounds a bit drunk, and the fact that it runs slow makes it an even better listen. Utterly fantastic.

It is good. I tried to play along with my guitar tune up to my tuner but the tuning the Stones are using is not standard (the A string is not at 110.00 hz). Have they slow down the speed after recording it?

They're in standard. Keith is 440. The bootlegger copied it too fast or slowed it down. And that's Tops, not Worried About You. Tops is in A sharp, that boot is in A flat! And it's very likely that Keith is in open G, capoed, most likely, but I don't think he was into playing minor chords yet in open G then.

Here's an unedited full mix of Worried About You before they tightened a few things up years later. Gonna guess these vocals were done in Montreux, Switzerland, 1975 and not later because there's certain ways Mick sings that is that guttural that he did live 1975-76 and on some BAB songs. Just a few different words than the finished version in this.

The riff is certainly a hammered-on Aflat to C#m, then a slide to Eflatm. Basically the same minor chords Keith used for Wild Horses. The riff of Plundered My Soul is a sister to the riff of Tops. Minor chords also used in Hand of Fate, Build This Way and Before They Make Me Run.

Keith uses a couple of different chord shapes to form minors in open G.

It took me ages to figure that out ..by which time I'd nearly dislocated half my fingers.

Ha ha - yeah, you don't cover all the chord with one finger, just... most of it, and then two others to get the minor note and then the rest of the chord.

That link showing XXX on the 3 strings is wrong - all five strings are played.
