6 Live Rolling Stones Tracks You Need To Hear Right Now

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
