All language subtitles for ROLLING STONES - Making of Beggars Banquet Part 2

welcome back with open arms to the making
of the Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet album

part two

I had no idea where part two was gonna go
and as I dove deeper and deeper it just got

longer and longer and it's really about the
album cover photo session and Sympathy for

the Devil and godar's movie and how it was
made and information about it a lot of details

to break this down along with the song the
lyrics the music you can enjoy this you go

sit back and relax and those of you who are
donators thank you thank you I have a message

for you of a special project I'll be working
on just for you and those of you who are thinking

about donating you'll be involved too please
consider a donation for Flipside CT here through

PayPal as this takes a hell of a lot of work
for me thank you [Music] pleased to meet you

[Music] [Applause] [Music] first thing I want
to mention is I was called out on something

from a fellow YouTuber who I respect and I
had to dig deep as they pointed out Ry Cooter

was not with the stones in 68.

and not playing with them and not at the Redlands
until 69.

this also includes Anita's story which would
take place in 69.

I did point out that I was not sure the timeline
so this is a full correction to make sure

I got it right because I do take everything
seriously so also there were pictures of Ry

Cooter at the Redlands that was 69.

so we got that straight and just want to make
sure you the viewers knew this the two folks

that helped me out with this was the Brian
Jones resource YouTube channel I've talked

about him before does a great job and also
there's a new podcast out called the Ry Cooter

story and who else would know besides Rye
I talked to him also and got some information

and I found out the connection on how rye
and Jack Nichi and how they met Rye met Jack

while he did work for Terry Melcher looks
like in 1967 while working as a studio musician

with the band called The gentle soul that's
what we hear in the background Jack also worked

on the tune and it's called Tell Me Love Now
Terry Melcher he was a California record producer

known for the Beach Boys the birds he did
plenty of work and contribution to rock and

roll music and other things Jack would use
Rye for so many sessions of working he would

not get credit for much of it though he's
even on the monkeys album called Head as we

go along this tune also includes Neil Young
on guitar it's pretty sweet well Wright was

also contributing to the movie candy but it
was rejected so he did about 20 albums and

singles all together between 68 and 69.

working like I said in the studio all the
time he could not even remember who he worked

with the day before he would just go in and
leave sounds similar to like what Jimmy Page

did in the early 60s and he was just on the
low visibility end [Music]

going to introduce you to a new character
in The Stone sessions Phil Brown it was George

jakayans that would introduce Phil to Glenn
Johns Phil would work as a tape operator an

assistant engineer and be at the stone sessions
in June Phil being young and green would pick

up so much while working with Glenn he would
work with Glenn with traffic and small faces

and the move in February of 68 working on
traffic's new album Phil has a book out are

we still rolling Studios drugs and rock and
roll a book that talks about his experiences

and the stone sessions among others so Phil
has a drawing that he made a layout of the

studio shown here which shows the studio and
the control room

we did become more familiar as we did see
goddard's movie Sympathy for the Devil what

the studio did look like it was Phil's first
time he'd be working with the stones as a

new Outsider he would say how easy it was
and how friendly Bill Charlie and Brian were

no egos Phil mentions how Brian was rumored
to be drinking two bottles of scotch a day

single Mall he talked about how he observed
brine being somewhat depressed state of mind

and that he would spend a lot of time crouched
on a low chair in his Booth hunched over his

guitar which he held high on his chest it
looked like he was having a difficult time

keeping up in what was going on or even breathing
properly Phil wouldn't really communicate

with Mick or Keith Nikki however was an absolute
sweetheart he said he would say he was mellow

and relaxed and a real gentleman each song
would have a run through at first and rehearsed

with Brian Mick and Keith then Bill and Charlie
would come in when the verses in chorus were

agreed upon as we have seen in goddard's movie
at that time frame using Studio Effects were

not available so they would have to work at
the source itself for recording they would

try out a few guitars and amp sounds and also
microphones at various locations in the studio

just to get it right

the band would really Define their future
and come into their own in this time period

a true personal growth spurt with this very
young band

and they have grown quickly out of oldham's
Pop mold and have the seeds start blooming

quickly into what will Define the stones as
the best rock and roll band in the world so

they're in Olympics still working towards
the end of the sessions with one more tune

to develop but more on that later now remember
Christopher Gibbs from the inner circle the

one that was decorating mixed Chelsea pad
during the summer of 68 well Chris is the

one to come up with the album's name and theme
they played around with tramps mush-up so

Along Comes the photo session to meet the
album's image Chris would do the assistance

too on this photo session set

so now the time is Friday and Saturday June
7th and 8th keeping in mind the album's expectation

for release now was going to be mixed 25th
birthday July 26th the location of the shoot

was sarum Chase Hamstead Northwest London
Sam Chase was the home of the artist painter

Frank O Salisbury the home was a neo-tutor
mansion built in the 1930s when Salisbury

passed in 62 the house was handed over to
the British Council of churches they sold

it so at this exact time period I'm not sure
who owned it but this is where the photo shoot

started

[Music] it was known photographer Michael
Joseph that was big in the advertising world

with clients like Nivea Benson and hedges
Christie's Pirelli Malaysian Airlines and

Schweppes to name a few

but what got him the gig was an ad he had
in 1965 for White Horse Scotch whiskey it

was posted all over London and it had a real
white horse in the picture

Michael had arrived at sarum Chase early he
had art director Michael Peters with him and

was setting up the set with props and some
real food and also with Christopher Gibbs

now it's thought that this photo shoot was
inspired by a scene in a 1961 movie viridiana

by Louis Bunnell

it was a scene called Beggar's Banquet and
as you can see here different beggars but

the feels the same

so the lighting was set and placed perfectly
and Michael was talking to the animals that

were on the set there was goats sheep cats
three dogs he had a megaphone sort of like

that old-time Hollywood producer

so the banquet table was set there was wine
added also and the whole dinner was laid out

on that medieval banquet table it was ready

they would have only two hours to do this
shoot the stones would all arrive on time

at 11AM

the band was given choices of clothing to
wear they would be ready in about 10 minutes

Mick dressed as a swell a person of high social
position Charlie is a stable groom and the

others were just medieval no makeup was applied
Michael had positioned each Stone he would

also talk about this shoot in an article in
the guardian how Brian was having fun playing

with the labrador dog Keith with his dog of
choice Michael had put out a real Bowl of

Cherries and he caught the goat eating it

got some wonderful shots as we see capturing
the moments the band was very cooperative

and all finished on time as we know this was
the idea for the gatefold

the next day's shoot was to be in sworkstone
Hall Pavilion that was in Derbyshire Mick

would ask Michael if he and his girlfriend
his wife to be would want to drive with him

and Marianne up to the Pavilion this was about
a two-hour Drive and it was at a 17th century

site Michael would say that this location
was scouted and chosen as it had the look

sort of a derelict look with the windows now
the original intention were these photos were

going to be for the album cover front and
back

so they were going to start off with the back
cover first Stones would be playing Cricket

in a grass field and then they would add a
white three-legged piano as a prop the stones

playing Cricket is highly unlikely I believe
Brian though played when he was younger but

it was a tongue-in-cheek shot then on to the
front cover photo of them just lying in the

grass in front of the old Pavilion they would
add some smoke now some police would arrive

thinking it was a fire but they would be greeted
by the mock setup they would leave before

Michael thought of using them as props and
I read in an interview of Michael another

one by Michelle Bob Paris he said that while
they were doing this shoot Mick thought of

the idea not to use any of these photos for
the front or back of the album

Michael had a photo made from the first day
shoot and he brought it with him the he wanted

to have the band sign it well he had a chance
he used the Kodak kodolith film which is a

super high contrast 35 millimeter black and
white he also used a hasselbad top of the

line camera but Mick saw this photo and he
grabbed it he snatched it away from Michael

and he loved it he wanted it for himself

actually Mick gave Michael another promo picture
and had that signed but Mick saw it as it

was in black and white and he did feel it
was a little bit dull so he took this photo

with him and it was Tom Wilkes that had added
that old style photo coloring technique onto

the faces Tom was an art director and partner
with photographer Barry Feinstein more on

that later I want to now bring in mix brother
Chris Jagger I don't want to take away from

his wonderful seven minute piece on YouTube
I'm gonna post a link to it and you could

watch the full length

but he takes a visit to the photo shoot site
as it is today and you hear the stories from

fans also talks to Michael Joseph Chris mentions
that the Pavilion it can be rented out to

stay in as we know that great Hits album Hot
Rocks three years later in 71.

we get to use a photo from these sessions

and it open hand or better yet a huge hug
to Marianne she was the Catalyst for this

next tune among others we have a new character
Lucifer not regarding a lifestyle or a partner

in crime but he is used as a metaphor the
representation of the dark side of humanity

Mick would mention in 1995 in Rolling Stone
about Sympathy for the Devil being an inspired

by a French poet Charles budler but it is
then acknowledged that it was brought on when

Marianne would buy Mick a book this is not
new news it's definitely out there but for

those who don't know enjoy this book was written
by a Russian author Mikhail bolgerkov he was

born in Kiev in 1891.

the book is the Master and Margarita this
novel was written over the time period of

1928 to 1940 shortly before his death it would
be considered a masterpiece by some in Russian

literature the manuscript would not be found
until 1966.

a censored Russian version was published in
6667.

I will supply you a brief description of the
book's premise to get a feel for what Mick

read and what was inspiring to him there is
a lot going on in here so many twists so many

little subplots and information so two men
the writers authors are sitting and discussing

one of the other men's poems they're sitting
on a bench in Moscow and one man is criticizing

the other saying he made Jesus look to be
too real in his poem now both these authors

or atheists and so the other writer defends
his story saying Jesus was not real and never

existed they were then interrupted by a foreigner
someone named Wallen yes this was Satan he

introduces himself and says he was there he
witnessed what went on between Jesus and Pontius

Pilate and the sentencing and execution he
also would say to one of the writers that

they're going to die that day from a decapitation
by being thrown under a train and he did what's

really interesting is how this story does
not reveal the devil as an evil character

the story takes place in Jerusalem Biblical
times but opens up in Moscow in the 30s the

book contains an array of mysticism vanity
greed and forthrightness of the Soviet public

this story has so much deep meaning and drama
and twists that I'm stopping right here

mix mind expansion with intellectual achievement
he started his quest in developing an acoustic

folk song

so what does Mick gather from all this well
he introduces an aristocrat type version of

the devil he's laying claims to historical
tragedies like the Russian Revolution SARS

Bolsheviks Lenin massacres the Hundred Year
War World War II and of course the Kennedys

Mick would say the song is more about the
darker side of man and is not a celebration

of the devil at all they the stones would
be accused of devil worship of course and

corrupting influence on the youth gotta remember
the last album and what that was called Mick

is just pointing out the evils of mankind
but it gives the listener an actual finger

pointing to one culprit bottom line it represents
humanity and its evils Charlie said the first

time he heard Mick's new song in the front
foyer of his Sussex home they were having

dinner and Mick was there Mick played the
entire song as the sun was setting and Charlie

thought it was fantastic the title was the
devil is my name now the original title that

I am hearing also is Fallen Angels Jean-Luc
godar he wanted to make a film about abortion

in London but an abortion Act was just legalized
and passed so it scratched that idea so he

was discussing with producers in London coming
over there and he would want to work with

the Beatles or the stones now it takes so
much time to break down godar and reveal why

and how he's one of the greats and respected
directors out there during this time a French

New Wave looking for a new method of expression
and freedom he had an improvised style along

with radicalism and some films without a script
our great producer Jimmy Miller had a friendship

connection with a talent agent MIM Scala Beggar's
connection is mim introduce Jimmy to the band

family and as I mentioned Jimmy went on to
produce them Jimmy had played MIM an early

version demo of Sympathy for the Devil there
is another scenario of events that is not

archived by timeline so I could only piece
it based on my observations godar was filming

the riots and the protests that were going
on in Paris and MIM was in Paris also he knew

godar and his work and he had a conversation
with godar at dinner godar was not aware of

the London protest scene that was going on
concurrently men must have known godar wanted

to make a new film when men returned to London
he sent godar a demo the one that Jimmy gave

him of Sympathy for the Devil and he also
sent him some Beatles albums MIM then received

a letter from the producer of godar that he
wants to make a movie with the Beatles or

the stones as I said before MIM just naturally
asked for a script the producer writes back

the film will have a beginning a middle and
an end but not in that order so MIM brought

the idea to John Lennon and he thought okay
this might be cool godar was thinking about

a film about Leon Trotsky the Marxist revolutionary
from 1905 and 17.

opposition to Stalin it would Star John beetles
will meet godar for two meetings for this

film eventually Lenin turned him down and
was very suspicious of godar so mem had also

brought the idea to the Stone's ancient Sandy
levison who passed it on to Mick and everyone

else well they just said let's do it not sure
what they were going to do but they wanted

to move ahead and they wanted godar Keith
would call him JLG in life and would say that

he looked like a bank Clerk will eventually
godar would say that he really wanted to work

with the stones more they were perceived as
more anarchists given their past drug busts

now there is a tie-in for the stones with
godar in 1966 he made a movie called made

in USA and it had Marianne in it and she does
sing

[Music] I sit and watch as tears go by

Mick had mentioned that there was a lot of
meetings with the heads and godar to have

him identify what this movie was about there
was no real sign to identify this quote our

tribe but he couldn't paint the picture or
objective he just said he wanted to create

a new Cinema convert political dialect into
film Scripts you can imagine the stone sitting

there in a meeting and hearing this and saying
okay okay okay but still they had no idea

and still no one had a clue godar would want
to leverage the stones working on a song in

the studio and use that as a metaphor for
growth beginning and see how it progressed

he then would want to intermingle contrasting
scenes of radical destruction versus the construction

which was the song while the producers of
what was to be the abortion film had gotten

two financiers for godark the two were Ian
Courier a novice producer and an actor and

director and then also the son of an English
Lord one of the England's richest men Michael

Pearson so the connection Ian did know Marianne
through her theater connections the budget

for this movie was a hundred and eighty thousand
pounds Godard would arrive May 30th to London

despite really wanting to stay in progress
for the revolution and choose an unknown cinematographer

Tony Richmond for this project

well Tony Richmond he connected with the stones
already he first met them while filming Jumping

Jack Flash and child of the Moon the promo
videos with Michael Lindsay Hogg codard's

approach in filming was to film some bits
and pieces then review it then decide what

to do next this is really in sync of how the
stones approach their work also

so Tony Richmond was home in London when he
got a call from an Eleni collard Elaine was

to be the producer of that abortion movie
she didn't know Tony but asked if he would

like to talk about a movie She's producing
so Tony got picked up in the Rolls-Royce limo

and he was drinking the cognac with Delaney
and they would arrive at Cheyenne walk mix

house Tony and Laney went up the stairs and
Tony mentioned how it reeked of pot ash Tony

walked in and the stones were just hanging
lying around strumming a guitar what a scene

that must have been godar was sitting in this
corner and Tony was kind of shocked godar's

assistant brought Tony over and introduced
him and they both talked and they talked and

they went on through the night godar then
excused himself to leave and his assistant

told Tony well Jean-Luc wants you to do it
he wants you to go to Paris every weekend

for three weeks to discuss the movie shooting
time wise this would have been a few weeks

before June 5th in May sometime and we know
so much was happening in Paris they would

discuss how to shoot the stone sequences as
they knew the ceilings that the Olympic Studios

were high Goddard had Tony go to the studio
and shoot some black and white tests this

is mining cameraman and um what uh as a cameraman
uh lighting her man operated is it the first

time yes and how do you find him what do you
find it very different to other books well

yeah it's very different because everything
is very immediate [Music] um there's really

virtually no camera rehearsals or anything
like that uh what about the crew

you work with well yeah because we have um
I mean normally one would have a camera crew

you'd have a lighting camera man then a camera
operator Focus full of Clapper loader um on

this um he wanted me to operate myself which
of course I find very exciting you know but

it's it's different it's unusual if I didn't
do that um from the way we shoot I really

wouldn't really know what was going on you
know I mean um because I say we just sit there

and this is right we shoot and if I wasn't
operating myself I'd never know where the

lens was pointing I see and what's the problem
about well it's about uh two parallel themes

of one's destruction the other one uh creation
and does good old work closely with the order

scene very much to himself and they see very
independent title director than normal I think

he's very independently now a contract was
signed which would say that the film would

still go ahead if Brian was in prison following
his trial on June 5th was the first day of

the shooting what was great about the shoot
was that the stones were not performing for

the movie but they were doing it for themselves
their natural behavior and the crew they were

just voyers we get a feel and peeking into
the stones creative process in a studio of

how they piece a tune together never done
before also there's not much footage of Olympic

Studios at that time so we get a real nice
glimpse of where and how the next two albums

were created

the crew would shoot four nights in a row
Glenn would help them out and set up an assist

with the audio being he knew with her all
be positioned and this helped the crew out

tremendously make it said well it just so
happened they caught us at a good time it

was any other days then it would have been
a real boring session they covered the beginning

till the end of the song 32 takes of the folky
version were filmed and worked on now the

biggest compliment of making this song it
was tried six different ways six different

styles

we get to see the opening scene where Mick
teaching Brian the structure on the acoustic

Nick with the Gibson Hummingbird Brian with
the Gibson J 200 Charlie's fluffing around

his Kick Drum is miked and a cushion in his
bass drum and Bill sitting so patiently they

worked on this also the night before after
Keith just talked to Bill he walks over and

sits down with his Gibson Hummingbird an open
D we see the Capo there and he's working with

the boys and they're playing along

s in and at the 323 mark at the police to
meet you part we get a feel how dylanesque

this tune sounds right now

game [Music] at the 412 Park comes the part
where it's more serious with Keith on the

Gibson Black Beauty he's feeling Out Of Tune
standard tuning with Bill chugging along and

we get to hear and see Nikki at the Oregon
yes I rode a tank held a generous rake he's

all ready we also get to see the control room
as it looks really intense and Brian is in

this small acoustic space nodding his head
to the Rhythm

555 Keith stops to express he cannot hear
himself in the headphones the cans as Mick

relays this to the control room
and [Music]

okay I thought that in the solo on the third
on the fourth one instead of the is it that's

the way it's the way it sort of is you know
the last verse is different like three verses

straight through and then the solo should
start off very cool [Music] plenty of Trials

and noodling going on with Keith and we love
the banter love to hear the banter Keith at

8 24 mentions that he wants to move amps and
go through the small box as Better Sound foreign

[Music]

[Music]

what could Mick be talking to Nikki about

interaction scene at 9 47 when Brian asked
Keith for a button match

at 10 25 we hear a solo of what is to become
and Keith starting to feel a Groove he's locked

in till 11 minutes at 11 10 Keith is asked
if he won't get nasty if he's asked to turn

his guitar down make answers back yes I will
[Music] ask

yes I will

nice to meet y'all

[Applause] oh [ __ ] hell you gotta come
on in that other bit Charlie

we got to see Bill playing the maracas there's
also long stationary shots taken to Brian

from back of his head

should I make it a bit more alive a bit dead
you know not clipped enough somehow as the

stones were recording Tony and godar had to
do long takes so the band wouldn't get interrupted

so with Tony being the Director of Photography
and handling the camera shots Tony had a four-wheeled

dolly for the slow panning shots gledar would
say stop and wherever Tony was he would stay

on one image not knowing what he would find

now you see how brightly lit the room is keep
in mind when going into a rehearsal or a studio

many musicians like the ambience low lighting
dark for atmosphere and feeling this studio

looked like a Sun was shining through all
the time the studio is vibrant colors so let's

just say Tony covered the ceiling with hundreds
of photo floods hot lights and he covered

them with tracing paper for a softer top lighting
I listened to Tony Richmond give some lectures

and another crew member and he were discussing
something and continue talking as they went

downstairs to go to the bathroom at the studio
they were in there having a pee then they

hear a terrific crash in one of the Stalls
it out comes Brian Jones with his sleeve rolled

up he was holding a hypodermic needle and
a string he had asked Tony if he can tie him

up he did and Brian went back in the stall
and Tony just continued talking I'm sure many

Brian Jones fans are shaking their head now
but I'm just the messenger here this was Tony

Richmond's experience at the 3134 mark That's
where Mick says rode the tank in a general's

rank when the SS raids and the body stank

[Music] the tank held a generous

at 3212 this is where Mick says Kennedy in
the singular fashion most of us know this

story and what it became plural the Kennedy
version is from the second night the following

third night it was Kennedy's [Music] Shout
It Out kill Kennedy when all the time I knew

it's just you and me we didn't get Keith just
so relaxed playing a little tender Jam different

sounding guitar tune while mixing sympathy
they have no idea how much this will change

[Music] just notice how relaxed the stones
are they were into their world and they felt

good

foreign

[Music] if I was around with Jesus Christ
at his moment down

it is about 46 minutes 21 seconds when we're
brought into the samba riff and we get to

see Rocky and the Rhythm Section and Keith
on his pumping Baseline Rocky's last name

was visit zornu but Keith gave him the name
Dijon from Ghana

he played with Ginger Baker Stevie Wonder
Billy Preston Joe Walsh Nick Drake

look at the control room everybody is up they
know they're on to something here

[Music] at 51 minute Mark Jimmy gives his
input you couldn't get a Groove happening

and you see Mick and Keith they're chuckling
[Music]

yeah ready [Music]

oh Jimmy okay we'll try for a Groove

you wanna do another one um [Music] nice

it's a 52 minute Mark we see Mick's new friend
co-actor from performance James Fox he noticed

he's getting films so he decides to walk away
he was doing some character research

52 minute mark 's talking about a time before
they must have had some kind of GrooVe that

he liked he's also singing I got no expectations

what's that all about

yeah what is that it's like completely different
[Music] be ready [Music] I'm ready [Music]

I got now

[Music] okay

53-38 mark they know their Direction and mix
as to let Rocky start it Rocky Style [Music]

at the one hour nine minute 40 second Mark
who what and how does that woman that's sitting

get in this studio

mix leg now shows how much he needs to get
this perfect hung around for a long long year

I've stole many a man's soul to baby I was
ran when Jesus Christ had his moments about

a pain me damn sure the pilot washed his hands
sealed his face

foreign but we also see their patience and
respect for Jimmy

no I know but I just I don't have to be seeing
a double time because the bass isn't playing

it but the rhythm's still playing it's so
nice yeah

we get to see and hear the fabulous woo-hoos
we gotta love Charlie not wanting to give

one of those who who's just standing there
for the camera any other fellow that we see

at the 10 o'clock position that's Michael
Cooper the photographer now was that Marianne

or Suki portier to the right of Brian he gives
her a Gentle Touch of Love on her back [Music]

well Anita gives Keith a pack this is beautiful
to watch and hear and see Keith leading and

directing [Music] he knows how critical this
is and he directs the group

at the 114 19 Mark bring it up mick is so
into this with his extra nervous energy

he gives his pure Master delivery I'm [ __ ]
believable how he did this

at the 126 Mark they're playing a jam Glenn's
discussing with Mick Charlie's feeling out

his oats and they discuss some direction Bill's
still playing the tune on his acoustic notice

the bass leaning in the back

[Music]

at the 129.50 Mark I do believe this is Michelle
Breton she's the one dressed in the suit and

hat Michelle was the second female alongside
Anita in performance and I'm not sure who's

this in the purple pants

at the 135 Mark starts the end of the beginning
First Cut is done

[Music]

now to fulfill the obligation of completing
this one plus one movie of Goddard need to

discuss his destruction portion here's the
connection of the stones and what Goddard

had in his mind we see a section outside black
novel with red letters spelling love the man

sitting in the wheelbarrows reading from Eldridge
Cleaver an autobiography called soul on ice

from 68.

Cleaver was an American black militant the
book is about black alienation in U.S Cleaver

was involved in the shootout in April of 68
in Oakland between the Black Panthers and

the police

appeared in America so we hear the man in
the wheelbarrow reciting about the blues of

the black man and working on convincing us
into thinking that black music was exploited

by the white men English version of the Black
Panthers actually hired actors from TV series

here that are portraying them we're filmed
in a junkyard located at Lombard Wharf badassee

a Caucasian woman dressed in white brutalized
a contrasting visual more political messages

including voice-overs of godars other passion
and interest Marxism

now there's a long segment a woman wandering
in the woods they're on location actually

on Tony Pearson's property producers

is a state she is being interviewed but with
only responding with a yes or no her name

is Eve democracy representing political answers

this is actually godard's recent wife married
in 67.

and do you think that a woman in the home
today you think she is miserable yes

do you think the lower classes have more sexual
Vitality than the upper classes yes she would

also be in several other scenes spray painting
revolutionary slogans this was done real time

as they would drive around West London finding
locations hopping out of the car and shoot

for a minute and race back in the car and
move on this was real property damage they

were doing

then there's the shot of the bookstore Bodega
it was full of Nazi propaganda men's porn

and comic books Mein Kampf is being recited

now patrons are entering the store they pick
up a magazine or book and they exchange them

for a piece of paper it's Ian choir playing
the role reading the mind comf

the patron will then walk over to two maoist
hostages and slapped them in the face and

then give a Nazi salute and they would leave

the last scene is a beach scene with a bloody
Urban gorillas it's eve democracy that collapses

and it's Goddard pouring red paint on her
body as her bloody body is lifted up in the

crane that's the final scene this is the destruction
all this well sympathy is playing in the background

I want to bring this about that a serious
dramatic event would happen on the last night

of godar's shooting Tony Richmond admits this
was due to his lighting that's what he would

say the hot lights on set actually set the
Olympic Studio on fire at approximately 4

a.m while they were jamming the ceiling started
on fire and falling down well Tony of course

and the crew were concerned about the equipment
Stones were so high they didn't really give

a [ __ ] here's actually some footage that
was taken by the crew but they didn't take

much at all and Tony would say he really wished
that they focused on that fire that would

have been beautiful [Music]

[Music]

[Music] move everybody else in everyone escaped
out and firemen came in and had to soak the

set and Equipment thanks to Quick thinking
Bill and Jimmy to the tapes were saved prior

to this fire Phil Brown the assistant engineer
he would mention when Mick was working on

his Vocal Track he saw Marianne write a message
in red lipstick to Mick on the control room

window just very random it said burn baby
burn and Mix A Lot just how bizarre that is

so while Mick was singing during the take
there was a loud pop sound Mick looked up

to the ceiling and saw a little piece of paper
floating down and so did more debris he stepped

to the side and he was just watching it fall
everyone saw what was going on the action

was right above the piano the Hammond and
the amps Phil had stopped the tape machine

and he said to Glenn I think we got a fire
we gotta get out of here he and Glenn entered

the studio and now they saw the fire for real
and saw how serious it was a bulb had set

fire to the Hessian burlap like fabric cloth
and then the ceiling insulation caught on

where we shot the moon was Barnes recording
student which had started its life as a cinema

and when they turned it into a recording studio
apparently they had a sound pretty lots and

lots of Sawdust

and we were shooting one and then sudden it
was like machine gun I was getting bang bang

bang bang bang bang bang all these lights
started to explode and basically it happened

because it was wild gotta is fast now of course
everybody went into major panic mode under

the stones something kept playing and then
then they disappeared and then you know we

we try to turn the cameras up onto the fire
but then we you know being professional Movie

Makers we the the most important thing was
to get the cameras out which really I wish

we had I wish we'd have shot the fact that
we've been rather exciting

Phil had talked about how he moved the mics
away from under the fire the film crew moved

their equipment and turned off all the lights
they could stones and Roadies would grab guitars

and move amps as the danger progressed it
was only guitars and small lamps that were

saved the Hammond the piano and large amps
would not make it out Glenn was the one that

called the fire department

Jimmy was very cool in this moment and he
had his focus on one thing he had spooled

off the eight-track tapes and gathered the
boxes of Masters he asked Phil to help carry

them out and to make sure all the other masters
from the tape storage room were removed and

then when he's done call a cab Glenn was still
talking to Godard in the studio still while

the fire was raging and while the fire department
bringing in their hoses but they came in also

through the ceiling all fire escape doors
now open and all have been evacuated after

Flames couldn't be seen from the street but
the smoke can the fire was put out in 30 minutes

and under control and Phil and Glenn were
allowed back in they went in of course the

smell was awful and there was a hole in the
ceiling big enough you could see the sky outside

godar would catch up with Tony and he would
tell him listen don't say anything but I'm

going back to Paris tomorrow morning and he
was gone he was gone for two weeks and production

was stalled godar would return to London and
finish those sprays painting scenes in London

so that hole in the ceiling it remained for
about two weeks until they finished recording

the album's tones while they were recording
they had to stop sometimes whenever a plane

flew over it was later found out that the
studio had a load of sawdust in the ceiling

that was used to dampen the sound for the
studio

and its ministers while Anastasia dreams in
vain

Go to Tank hail the generous rank

the body [Music]

the opening of the movie Sympathy for the
Devil was by Cupid Productions at one hour

39 minutes November 29 1968.

so the back story that's well known The Producers
took their own Liberties to alter the final

version of the movie that Goddard completed
Goddard was so annoyed at the ending as it

was unauthorized I inquire would change the
title and also insert the full and completed

Sympathy for the Devil song the album cut
the original title is one plus one kedar had

specific intentions of the ending by having
an unfinished version of the song at the end

his artistic mind was in thinking that art
is never finished there's no ending or it

should not be complete so godar was Furious
and so critical of what the producers had

done to his work now his art is finished at
the opening the inquire was speaking at a

Podium Goddard had gone up to the mic stand
where Ian was and he punched him in the head

he wanted the audience to get their money
back and to donate it to elridge cleaver his

defense fund guard had received his version
of the movie from Tony Richmond he would say

at that Podium this is not my film my film
is being screened outside he had arranged

for projectors outside he knew ahead he wanted
the theater burned down however it was raining

outside the attendees would boo him and Goddard
would end up calling them fascists eventually

Goddard would end up talking to Mick to see
if he could influence the producers to put

back his ending of the version well this didn't
happen

Tony Richmond knew a lot of people did not
understand what this film was about creation

and destruction and that it's never finished
Keith would write in his book life and he

mentions where was godar going no plan the
film was a total load of crap he was surprised

as he said Goddard up until then was making
well-crafted movies it's cocky and work in

the early 70s this movie was shown as a double
feature along with Gimme Shelter so after

all that was said and done the star of the
movie was the song and probably for most of

us Stones fans would agree now to the song
and the lyrics narration exhibits narcissistic

Delight it recalls the escapades over the
course of human history and the Dark Side

of mankind the opening lyrics are pretty obvious
but pure 100 percent pure absolute sheer downright

Brilliance all of it the first lines were
originally please let me introduce myself

ain't I a man of wealth and taste

let me introduce myself I'm a man also pleased
to meet y'all these lines were grammatically

corrected it leads into the trial of Jesus

we have talked now with the Russian Revolution
from 1917-18 and the Romanov family execution

especially the line Anastasia screamed in
vain the revolution brought on the rise of

communism Anastasia being one of Tsar Nicholas's
daughters supposedly not all the daughters

perished from the Bolsheviks killing an execution
of most of the family World War II The Devil

is Incognito I wrote a tank held a general's
rank when the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies

stank Mick did have the prior lyrics as I
mentioned in displayed earlier I wrote a tank

when the SS raids and the bodies stank

Blitzkrieg the meaning lightning war in German
I mean a short conflict

I watched with Glee while your kings and queens
fought for 10 decades for the gods they made

relates to the Hundred Year War atrocities
of England and France in the 14th 15th century

as you can imagine this is one hell of a story
in time

and on June 6 and June 7th when Mick sang
Kennedy and changed it to Kennedy's

has sadly Bobby was assassinated not gonna
go there but I'm just going to mention I did

have about two pages of stories of this topic
for the Troubadours and for they reach Bombay

I'm just going to keep it brief here several
discussions about this can't be sure of course

let's first understand what a troubadour means
relating to music or poetry a composer or

a performer so we have some that think they
represent the Beatles being they were just

in India there were robbers and killers and
murderers also known as The thugi Cult hence

the term Thug they were assaulting Travelers
on roads in India now also in the 60s many

hippies who took on the beatnik philosophy
they would travel through these side roads

be robbed and violated these lyrics are ones
that got them in trouble the lyrics are just

as every cop is a criminal and all the Sinners
Saints this was totally misinterpreted by

many I metaphor and not meant for violence
which is what folks would interpret it as

violence against police we know there's real
tensions filling that time frame with police

in the world song would be banned by some
radio stations and got criticism from the

law next time and a listener is warned however
to be nice give some sympathy or he's gonna

turn so if you meet me have some courtesy
have some sympathy and some taste use all

your well-learned politics or I'll lay your
soul to waste

powerful effective and to the point let's
confirm politests is politeness or etiquette

use all your politeness or I'll lay your soul
to waste

so what do we got here we got Lucifer explaining
all the interactions that he had throughout

history problem doesn't come from external
entities but the devil is us mankind which

is why we keep hearing hope you guess my name
it is you and I we are the devil and Evil

you know God changed the devil's name from
Lucifer to Satan when he got expelled from

heaven Keith would say it's all about looking
the devil in the eyes right in his face he's

there all the time evil people tend to bury
it and hope it sorts out by itself and doesn't

rear its ugly head don't forget him if you
confront him then he's out of a job that was

Keith's 2022 definition

it took a lot of balls to make this tune I
should not really need to break this tune

down but will as it is just so [ __ ] good
first off hatsoft Jimmy Miller for pulling

the album To Masterpiece level I've talked
about his genius work plenty in several documentaries

remember Jimmy was about the groove this didn't
happen by accident it would be Jimmy that

put the icing on many of these Tunes let me
have some fun now playing some of the isolated

pieces of this tune I'm gonna kick off with
little pieces of Nikki

[Music] foreign

[Music]

[Applause] [Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Keith's pounding pounding rhythm of bass I
have to add this that when I hear this bass

riff that keep plays can't help but think
of Iggy Pop's Lust For Life [Music]

foreign [Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

foreign [Music]

to get to hear some of Brian's acoustic strumming
very low in the mix

[Music]

mother

[ __ ]

when you hear the opening of this tune it's
so crisp so clear so simple so in front takes

our breath away mixed vocals are just so pure
like a glacial stream and it's chilling we

hear is yells and then here the girls giggling
for three seconds

please allow me to introduce myself I'm a
man of Will and taste Rocky just doing his

thing Keith space and Nikki and the percussions
it is so cool how the bass starts off so simple

and then goes into a rhythm Frenzy just like
all the other instruments [Music]

not on the original but when I hear this isolated
version of mix singing I just got to add this

doubt and pain me damn sure the pilot washed
his hands and sealed his face oh and eventually

it goes into the woohoo's they come in they
don't dominate used as a nice simple instrument

we all have that visual memory now with Keith
leading them

identities after all yeah I'll bring this
story up now with Anita she heard Jimmy talking

to himself in the control room Jimmy saying
who you singing about Mick who who repeated

who who a few times Anita would tell Mick
what just went on in the control room and

suggested to use that as backing vocals the
stones tried it and after the first take it

would morph from the who who's to the wooz

I'd mentioned about with the who who's that
seventh person in the group shot not Jimmy

Miller as many people say it is Michael Cooper's
the seventh person Michael is mentioned throughout

and he needs a little attention he met up
with Robert Fraser at the peak London swinging

times and became close with the stones and
the Beatles and photographed plenty of their

early period some brilliant photos he even
lived with Keith and Anita at one time he

did the sergeant pepper and satanic album
covers sadly he would die of suicide from

depression and heroin Addiction in 1973 the
age of 31.

at 2 48 we get that masterful Keith solo that
cuts through like a hot blade through butter

it's so piercing this is proof again faster
is not better

thank you [Music]

[Music]

at 3 23 that guitar all I could say is the
Pow slide

thank you [Music] simple playing through the
job no need for the blistering fast notes

[Music]

[Music]

baby

[Music]

[Music]

[Music] as a song drifts into the end and
you can catch a listen to Charlie's simple

crashing around 4 33.

Mick and Keith They trade off solos 529 Nikki's
piano is phenomenal belonging to mix falsettos

[Music]

[Music] get on there

yeah

mixed performance I can't even find words
except to say it's Outsider Galaxy is delivery

is just pure genius rock and roll

[Music]

as we stop and think about this how could
they cook this tune up and brought us their

version of Mozart this is another stamp of
why the stones are the stones and the greatest

ever [Applause]

sympathy is the number seven all-time song
the Stones played live 827 times

now as you see on this list really cool list
from guest spectacular.com it shows Sympathy

for the Devil from 68 to 2022 on how many
times it was played the black background is

the events the tours the amount of shows they
played for each year and the red line shows

the sympathy how many times they played it
on the tour you'll notice 1981 was one time

that was located in the Worcester Massachusetts

in 1972 they played it once in San Diego but
there was a gap 72-73 78 81.

and as the years went on the tune to decline
as the tour dates did also

[Music] thank you

[Music]
