So I'm going with the "Scary Stones" era. Altamount is too obvious in an over the top way. A tragedy. I almost posted Under My Thumb but I just couldn't do it.
This one is terrifying. And yet I love the sound of it. Bill's bass is just the sound of doom...
I've tried to watch the entire Altamount and not been able to. One thing that stands out in a way many might not realise is Mick's stage presence and how he keeps the place from exploding into an absolute disaster. Was he perfect? No. But not many young men could have got through that as well. Maybe the best rock and roll front man of all time. Cheers Mick.
This one's not synced up but the guitars are nasty the way I like.
Rough; ragged; raw... yeah. Of course. That's the point.
Here's a P.S. I thought I would add to somewhat lighten things but it's not all that light actually. Beautiful studio recording.
