My favorite is Anybody Seen my Baby.The band was never cooler,and this great song has the perfect video.I also think the IORR, Waiting on a Friend Out of Tears and Jumping Jack Flash are in my top five

Child of the Moon.

"One Hit (To The Body)". One of my favorite songs by the band, great video.

I always got a kick out of the video for "It's Only Rock 'n Roll". It's just so nutty.

The four 'Black & Blue' clips: Hot Stuff, Negrita, Fool to Cry and Crazy Mama.

And you can't really call this a promo video, but it's the coolest Stones clip.

yes, very much.
Growing up in Rome we were starved for rock'n roll visuals. esp. the Stones for me. So one time it was announced all over the streets and squares that at such and such time there was going to be a public showing of two stones clips. It was outside of Rome in a subdivision called EUR. Hundreds of rockers made their way out there, to watch "Till the Next time we say goodbye", and IORR with the bubbles.
It was literally on a little TV set on a stand in a hall. But it came on like the second coming.

…. yeah that's it Palace ….
See Mick's Jacket … what about Keef's hair ….



ROCKMAN

Dancing in the streets with Jagger and Bowie

Rambunctious and snotty rock'n'roll without any bells or whistles...

She Was Hot.

Like Rockman says these used to be very special when they were released, and usually just got broadcast a time or two and were very easy to miss. I loved Video Rewind with Bill hosting when that came out on VHS and played that vid to death. Nowadays we don't really realize it what with YouTube and all, but back then the release of a new Stones video was something to look forward to.

When in God's name will we get a collection of Stones promo videos, all gussied up and stereofied, HDd, and such? Make up a few like the Beatles did. Take old Shindig or RSG lip sync footage and replace the mono soundtrack with the actual recording. It's been done before very successfully. This would give ABKCO a 'new' product, if they can't manage bonus cuts for BB and LIB.

Then Volume 2 could be the Stones 1971 onward. How hard can this be? They already did it for Rewind 35 some years ago.

This would be my top 5 favorite promo vidz:

She Was Hot
Respectable
She's So Cold
Neighbors
Love Is Strong

Waiting On A Friend

Highwire

Never really seen the point of watching a band miming ...so I'm not a big fan of most promo videos . But I did like the stuff Julian Temple directed for undercover

Neighbours
Waiting On A Friend
ASMB?
UOTN
Too Much Blood

The rest of them are either hilariously bad (SMU, Hang Fire, Worried About You, ER, She's So Cold, Respectable, Miss You and all previous 1970s promos), all demonstrating their lack of interest in miming correctly and just screwing off for, as Keith would say, demands from the record label, or are too smarmy or boring (Mixed Emotions, RAAHP, I Go Wild, Out Of Control, YGMR).

Out Of Tears is very good, very serious. Love Is Strong was pretty cool, a good bit different.

Far Away Eyes

If it counts, and I reckon it does; nothing can compare to Jumpin Jack Flash, I'd say. And there's a couple of OK ones, Angie - the version in which Jagger is sitting, Waiting On A Friend, One Hit, and Too Much Blood.

I separate promo films from music videos.

Greatest promo film is JJF with the makeup and the alternate audio.

Best music video is Undercover of the Night.

Love Is Strong

JJF and Child Of The Moon.

Yeah... however, both are use to promote so...

JJF mostly because of the music. But for video it's Love is Strong for me.

"One Hit". Not their best song of course, but the clip is really nice.
"Jumping Jack Flash" is not bad either.
"Start Me Up" is insane, but fun to watch.

Anybody Seen My Baby ,is not just the song.Mick’sacting is great and the shots of NYC are too.I think it captures the essence of the song better than another video
