6 Live Rolling Stones Tracks You Need To Hear Right Now

In This Article:

The Rolling Stones may not have sent the world into Beatlemania, but the World's Number One Rock Band has been cranking out hits and touring for nearly six decades. Over the years, they've accumulated a plethora of live concert albums (except the fan-favorite 1972 tour, for unknown reasons). For a band that can switch from a crowd favorite live act to a cluster and a half in between songs, capturing these iconic live takes is impressive. Rocks off to you, decent concert performances. Check out six live Stones tracks you absolutely have to hear right now!

"You Got The Silver" - Beacon Theatre, 2006

This live performance from a 2006 show in New York is *so good* that it transcends space and time. As someone who finds it hard to enjoy live songs due to poor sound quality, I am enamored with this performance. The first time I heard it, I got chill bumps on my arms. With Ronnie Wood on guitar, Keith Richards delivers a charismatic performance that I feel compelled to share with you here.

"Champagne and Reefer" - Beacon Theatre, 2006

Buddy Guy joins Mick and the band on this track once again at The Beacon Theatre in New York. The first time I ever heard this song, it was this version. I was shook, y'all. The entire Beacon performance was electrifying.

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" - Live Licks, 2004

Live Licks covers The Stones' 2002–2003 mega tour, and this version of the hit song is a must if you're searching through concert albums. Trust me, this will be your top pick. Find the album on Apple Music!

"Honky Tonk Women" ft Sheryl Crow - Live Licks, 2004

Sheryl blew me away in this track. If you don't believe me, check it out.

"Midnight Rambler" - Get Yer Ya Ya's Out, 1970

Get Yer Ya Ya's Out is a real treat of an album, and I find myself particularly fond of this version of "Midnight Rambler"... not to be confused with the Allman Brother's Band's hit of the same name!

"Bitch" - University of Leeds, 1971

I only recently discovered this live track from back in the day, but it is my favorite version of the song to date. You can find this track on the 2015 super deluxe re-release of the iconic '70s album, Sticky Fingers.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

Blair Waldorf Quote

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

Awkward Icarly GIFfrom Awkward GIFs

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
