And I love Angie in the morning.

after taylor left live it is tamed in comparison to the studio version and especially live in 1973

In London 99 they played a very good version.

Angie is one of my favourite stones ballads, a great song!

Great song, but played to death on radio (and live too often, too, although it is no "standard"). I prefer things like Memory Motel today.

Isn't a song as great as we seem to think it is?

>> Not about his daughter Angela, but about Anita. "Anita - I need ya" is what it really goes <<

sigh: Nick Kent and his misconceptions yet again! he got the wrong song - try listening to Happy.
both the Glimmer Twins are on record as saying that Keith came up with the music and title of Angie for his newborn daughter
and then Mick took the lyrics in a completely different direction. pretty much the same thing that happened with Wild Horses.

er...especially not when you consider that (as sssoul points out) the bulk of the lyrics were actually written by Mick.

Plus, wasnt she actually called Dandelion at the time? She didnt use the name Angela for many years afterwards

actually she was given both names right from the start: Dandelion Angela is how it went.

I know. But wasnt she known as Dandelion before she (understandably) got somewhat embarrassed by it?

i don't know for sure, Gazza honey, but some of what's been said about it sounds like at least some family members
did call her Angela/Angie right from the start. (and i think Dandelion is a way cool name!)

Yeah, but YOU would! ;-)

He also have to write a ballad for Marlon than(fair enough)Than we get another great balad!...oh! Marlon must be 35 years by now!

Wild Horses is the one he wrote for Marlon, Rooster honey -
Mick changed the lyrics radically, but Keith originally wrote it about how fine it was to have this new son/family scene
and how hard it was to have to leave for the 69 tour.
(Marlon was born in august 69, so that would make him ... [calculatecalculate ... calculatecalculate] 37 now.)

Thanks fo the info S Soul...than its time for a new baby...keith!!

I still love Angie. Brussels '73 I'd say is absolutely perfect. This and YCAGWYW from the same show are my favourite ballads played live ever. MSG 2002 is a great version, when Mick sings 'I hate that sadness in your Eyeee's' his voice never sounded better. My mates Mum is called Angie and we sing it to her when we're drunk!

One of my favourites as well, but would go for memory motel more thou.

Ok but not the 99 version...to fast!!!!

I have heard this version as well on Sirius a bunch of times. I am pretty sure its from 1973 but I don't know exactly what show its from. Its werid because its soundboard quality but I have no idea where its from.

from Rockmans clipping:

>>I'd recently had my daughter born, whose name was Angela, and the name was starting to ring around the house.
But I'm not into writing about my babies.
Angie just fitted.
I mean you couldn't sing 'Maureen'...<<

dunno whats true - not writing about his babies? huh? Angie, Wild Horses.
Then, instead of Maureen, he writes a song about Eileen.

oh Keith, you do like to confuse us.
But you gotta love this guy.

Love Angie. Though a bit worn out by radio, seems like it is the only Stones song our channels know of...

I have actually been singing this tune for all my colleagues + boss during Christmas lunch once, as two of my co-workers play guitar and it was their idea. Oh, and Wild horses too. :-)

I never cared for it, but not because its a bad song, but when it was released in 1973, it was on the radio, EVERY 10 minutes. I got to the point that I took a nail and scratched it off of the LP....I just couldnt stand to listen to it. Even at shows today, I go get a beer or something. Its a great song, but not my cup of tea.

Always loved Angie
Excellent tune.
Excellent lyrics.

Hello!
I'm from argentina, I need the song "Angie (live)" from Bridges to babylon (japan).
you send me?
thanks
leandro

I loved her until someone raped her.

Mick wrote the lyrics.....Keith came up with the title

"I had the whole chord sequence down maybe a year ago with just the title Angie. It could have been Randy or Mangy or anything, you know, but Mick just picked up on the title and wrote a song around it. He added the strings - all the strings on the album are his idea. I don't know who chose it as a single. I think somebody said that it would make a change and that it would get a heavy reaction on AM stations. I'm really not interested in picking singles." Keith Richards, 1973

i like the piano on this one

Nice to see all the love for this great song. I thought many Stones fans hate it.

I never get tired of the song, it's perfect: vocals, drums, production, everything.

Great song!
Especially the studio version.
