I think Jumping Jack Flash is a tune
that's taken for granted as it was heard
so many times a tune not having that
check mark next to it and a high grade
on a live album and one is at times
bypassed
what do you want for the most played
live stone song
Bill Wyman would say it is one of their
best tracks ever that reads Jagger
Richards
I feel it's time to brush off these
cobwebs off this song and put this song
Back On Top to enjoy as a deep listen
and appreciation like it's the first
time hearing it again
it is a song saved for the end of a show
as time went on
for a reason
the energy and love for this song the
passion and devotion they still give
when they play this
the stones love this song it's a true
adrenaline rush
I'll be playing you some live samples
through the years
and if this documentary does not snap
you out of it then I hope you were there
already
rule number one
don't let this song Slip through the
cracks and sneak through take it and run
with them
satanic Majesty's request was released
December 67 by Deca and London
produced by the Stones
the first album not having Andrew Luke
Oldham in charge
he was like a father figure
despite being his age and younger he was
keeping them all In Line Andrew would
say the reason he would depart was that
he thought the stones were not
concentrating and also being childish
now also Andrew was himself a heavy
partier and heavy drinking and drugs he
did lose some control
well at that time the stones were in
their drug Frenzy
during that satanic time and that was
the outcome
without Andrew
many would call it a masterpiece
and many could take it or leave it
and would believe it did not represent
the stones
now having left their strength
and did this album they would want to
return and get their focus back
now Deca pressured them and they wanted
to release a new set of Stone's material
they wanted a new single
it was long overdue now the Beatles and
Emi in 67 they released Strawberry
Fields and Penny Lane
they did that first from the not yet
released Sergeant Pepper's we now enter
into the story of the single of Jumping
Jack Flash
it was intended for a new album
but the enthusiasm was so great
the single was pushed out as I did my
research on this song
and I was looking at every angle I could
the one thing that stood out was the
interpretations of the song there are so
many ways that people looked at this and
looked into the Deep lyrics
and what it meant to them
some of them went like this
flesh is the blood and gas is the heroin
injection
Spike through is when heroin goes into
the brain and then the thrill is a gas
gas
a story of anyone overcome burden and
hardships in life Jack is saying it's
all right now but it was not in the past
when you take morphine you vomit known
as flashing bad stuff happened but it's
all right now
a destructive path for innocent people
why there is a war
a man about to jump into action like a
soldier gas gas
represents how the conflict is fueled
about someone's hard life and after
death is enjoying his stay in hell
jumping jack flashes the devil
a dance done in Hell jumping around to
keep feet from being burned by the hot
coals
Jumping Jack Flash was a practice
of administering liquid LSD with an
eyedropper in the tear ducts
John F Kennedy JFK with rose K mom she
was strict with a strap
third verse deals with JFK and War
and his training and Service as a PT
boat captain
being crowned with a spike through my
head
was the assignment
gas was the limo speeding away
it's about Jesus cruelly being treated
those that did the beatings it's all
right now and forgiven as Jesus knew it
was Satan Heaven is going to be a blast
a song inspired by The Beatles Day
Tripper
so there you go
just listing a few
summon Jimmy Miller
but before we dive into Jimmy we need to
know more about who what where and why
and jump down this Rabbit Hole so that
brings us to Chris Blackwell the founder
of Island records in 1958. he made his
way into pop music in 64 with a Jamaican
singer 15 years old the cover of My Boy
Lollipop by Millie small
yeah you know this one
[Music]
this song was licensed to Fontana
records
that's the Dutch label off of Phillips
now Chris would venture for more talent
in London
and in 1965 you'd find a new group of
young Talent at a London Club
with a Birmingham band called The
Spencer Davis Group
they had a front Man Called Stevie
Winwood a teenager
Stevie's older brother muff played the
bass Chris would recognize immediately
his talent and see that he had a young
Ray Charles here and he would sign the
group immediately
1965 on the Fontana label also
the Spencer Davis Group was competition
with the stones they played similar
music both fans would play the similar
cover songs also
what's worth noting is Spencer Davis he
played guitar and he would form a band
called The Saints
with a bass player called Bill Wyman in
63 he would form his group initially
called the rhythm and blues quartet with
Stevie muff and the great Peter York on
drums
they would change her name because
Spencer
was the only one comfortable
talking to the media
Stevie was 15 years old when they formed
in 1965 Chris Blackwell was in the U.S
he was scouting and looking for material
that he can release in the UK
and He Came Upon a song called incense
and who produced it and created it
Jimmy Miller
Chris would release this on Fontana in
the UK as he was really impressed with
the work of Jimmy
the song became a success in the UK
and with the Spencer Davis Group having
issues getting established in the U.S it
was Chris that reached out to Jimmy
again to come and work with the band
Chris wanted Jimmy to work on the album
give me some lovin it was already
released in the UK but he wanted him to
remix it for the U.S Chris had the
insight and he felt it really needs
something more something different to be
able to Excel and climb the charts in
the U.S so here is the original UK 1966
version give me some loving
and the vocals
are clearly different and pay attention
to the base and the drumming
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
[Music]
you can hear the magical work of Jimmy
and what he brings a driving base and a
slapping of the drums
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
well eventually Jimmy Miller and Stevie
Winwood would embark on a wonderful
friendship
Jimmy would even get some songwriting
credits as a co-writer on the song I'm a
Man
with Stevie Winwood we have a lot of
hindsight now and see
what was happening in his life there was
so much history and connections and
changes happening at that point he
wanted to move out and expand his
talents
and he wanted to leave the group so he
did in April 67. he and three others
formed a little bad cold traffic
a worthy note Dave Mason was a roadie
for the Spencer Davis Group
and it was a London being called traffic
jam already but they ended up changing
their name to status quo
so after the recording of I'm a man
Stevie left and he asked Jimmy to come
on board to produce the first album Mr
Fantasy
Island records and Chris Blackwell
wanted to break big and they had traffic
under their wings and supported them
Chris was all in well Mr Fantasy was
recorded in Olympic Studios and that's
where Jimmy was now having his new home
and Olympic Studios was a Mecca in the
mid 60s for recording artists similar to
Abby Road it had state of the art and
moving forward but most important it had
some super group talented engineers
that were exposed and working there one
of them was George jakayans I mentioned
him working with the stones
and Brian Jones and so many others you
really need to look him up check out
what work he has done he gets credit for
developing the use of phasing in
recordings and that was big as we know
it's psychedelic music and we know Mr
Fantasy also
Jimmy would help on Mr Fantasy doing
some percussion also in addition to the
producing
now I'm going to share a story from the
engineer Eddie Kramer and he was
observing Jimmy in the studio and
watching him in action first hand and
seeing his greatness and why he was for
the song Dear Mr Fantasy the band was
set up on a riser at one end of the
studio opposite the control room they
were set up like they were just on stage
Eddie recorded them live to a four track
now they were in the middle of a take
and it's right at the point in the song
for Mr Fantasy where the tempo is
changing
Eddie looked in the control room and he
didn't see Jimmy there
next thing he sees is Jimmy hauling an
ass across the room
he jumped up on the Riser picked up
Maracas and got them to double the tempo
that's Jimmy Jimmy had an amazing
ability to take a group of musicians
rehearse with them and get them in the
studio and have them be so excited but
about what they were going to do and
create and he made it seem fun his
energy was always up always into the
band and gets the man to see and feel
the song the way he did
it's important to know about Jimmy and
his qualities
his legacy as a stone's contributor and
catalyst is essential to know about
there was a Jimmy Miller Buzz going on
in the industry and he was getting a
fast track reputation to Greatness
someone that knew how to find the groove
Mika told Glenn Johns he wanted to get a
new American producer
and Glenn was not so pleased with that
but
he told Mick there happens to be a good
one here already and he's fantastic and
I know him
Glenn had told Mick about Jimmy
and he is the one that they should work
with
Nick had dropped by a session to see and
observe Jimmy up close
I believe from what I was reading Jimmy
was working with Dave Mason on music in
a doll's house by the band family and
then it came it was the winter of 67-68
and I came home one night and my wife
said honey Mick Jagger called and wants
you to call him back left his number
and I just got a flash as she said that
he wants me to produce them and then I
very nervously called up mick said Jimmy
uh
can you come by I'd like to uh to talk
to you about something and I agreed
stopped by his house we had some tea and
sat and talked for a few minutes and
he said
he had liked the things I did with
traffic and Spencer Davis Group and had
been aware of my productions for some
time and
told me that they were splitting up or
had split up with the with Andrew and
with the people they had been with
business-wise up to that time
and they were looking for a producer and
would I be interested is this as simply
as that and they had material at that
time for an album which was to become
Beggar's Banquet which was the first
series of sessions that we worked on and
I think the first track
we caught was a street fighting man but
the first one we finished was Jumping
Jack Flash which was issued as a single
prior to the album so that was my first
release as a producer with the stones
Stones would play Jimmy some of their
ideas of new tracks
now Jimmy he did not insist at all to
get them to leave the psych genre
he would say that they were already
prepared to do so so the end of an era
and the beginning of another one a new
chapter was being created without anyone
realizing what was happening
a bridge was opened up and they wanted
to cross over
one of their most pivotal songs in their
catalog
yeah there are a few of them
but this one should hold a special place
in our hearts
as it represents the true flavor and
direction of where the stones would go
from here
a more aggressive sound they would hit
Overdrive
and they would end up leaving a lot of
the British bands behind except some
exceptions particularly The Who
they're patented and signature sound
would drive that nail hard into the Rock
of the roll this song is so pure and
represented to Stone's new Direction and
where and how they would now be true as
a guitar band as I mentioned earlier
this is the most live performed song in
their entire catalog
for a good reason
I'm gonna do my version of what happened
during their song's birth from the start
to finish
some of the topics I'm sure you're going
to be familiar with it's going to be
obvious to you
but I gotta still mention it however you
will hear some new info I am sure I do
have to say after research the exact
timeline I found
was a little bit unclear
so I'll present it the best I can
chronologically
let's jump into the end of 1967 October
Brian had attended court for cannabis
and hash he admitted to that but not the
cocaine possession he pled guilty and
received a 12-month sentence and he was
out on bail the next day pending an
appeal
it was a mistake by him to plead guilty
he was claimed to be ill
bipolar but that was not identified back
then for sure
on December 12th with Mick attending
Brian had the court appeal and medical
evidence that was used and mentions
Brian
becoming suicidal
now who knows exactly when Brian was
starting to fall apart but this was a
good point give some thanks to mandrex
judges decided not to deliver the prison
sentence but instead deliver a
three-year probation
and a fine of a thousand pounds
in order to seek psychiatric help on
December 13th Brian was taken to the
hospital after found unconscious in his
apartment
this was due to drug and alcohol use
he would return to the health treatment
center so late in December 67 Mick and
Marianne they go to the Bahamas
Keith and Anita they go to Morocco Brian
goes to Sri Lanka Bill and Astrid go to
Sweden and Charlie's home
in January of 68 Mick would purchase an
apartment in Chester Square London Keith
is finishing up recovery in Paris
he'd caught hepatitis in Morocco
now we knew Brian became friends with
Jimi Hendrix from the Monterey Pop
Festival in summer of 67.
now in the January time frame Brian had
joined Jimmy at the Olympic Studios
January 21st 1968.
Eddie Kramer was the engineer
at this session Jimmy would record the
historic piece All Along the Watchtower
I'm gonna go down this little hole here
with Jimmy and recording of All Along
the Watchtower
and it was a song that was recently
released not many people had heard it
and Jimmy just grabbed it and ran with
it shout out to chords
now
he would have of course Mitch Mitchell
on the drums and Noel Redding just
briefly on the base he got sort of
annoyed and pissed off and left because
he didn't really want to play that song
at least not their version
and he basically told Hendricks [ __ ] off
so Dave Mason actually took some base
duties eventually Jimmy would lay down
the base later
Jimmy would also play some acoustic
guitar along with Dave Mason
but the reason why I'm also mentioning
this story is because Brian was in the
studio and wanting to contribute
so take number 14 at a drunk Brian Jones
fiddling around on the piano and took
about 23 seconds before Jimmy just told
him cut it out cut it off don't need it
so Brian was a good friend Jimmy usually
doesn't do this but he was very serious
for that moment he just couldn't take
just the banging and banging the way
Brian was presenting it it was pretty
horrible
[Music]
yes
[Music]
thank you
so Brian would eventually go to some
percussion you could hear him towards
the end
of each bar in the intro
he played an instrument called a Vibra
slap
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
songs in the session would actually take
about 27 takes
Dave Mason was at the sessions he played
a 12-string guitar in this song slightly
Out Of Tune
let's hear Eddie Kramer's story about
this with the sound
things
[Music]
wow when you hear that track a couple of
things come to mind you hear that
slightly Out Of Tune 12 string that's
Dave Mason but underneath it there's
Jimmy playing all the heavy rhythmic
upstrokes and down Strokes on the sixth
string it's an odd sounding 12 string
let's listen to it again
oh
[Music]
it's really cool to hear the how the two
of them are playing together when they
finally locked in you know Dave Mason's
doing their praying praying and Jimmy
it's to me is a wonderful moment in the
song to hear those two guys just locking
in
[Music]
one last note with Jimmy
February 1st opening night at Fillmore
West
he was with Albert King and John Mayall
oh and who was in John mayles band well
Mick Taylor
so the stones were being preoccupied at
this time frame December and January and
Bill he was doing some production with
the group called end they released an
album later in
and Charlie well his wife Shirley was
ready for birth of their first child so
Charlie was home
and Mick and Keith were back and forth
at Redlands and Chelsea
so the timeline early February to
mid-February Stones would start
rehearsals for a new album and this was
also done at Keats home at Redlands
February 21st till mid-march 68 they
would have more rehearsals but this time
at RG Jones studios in Morton Surrey
near London
so Jimmy would encourage the stones to
get the essentials for the next album by
getting away from outside influences
Jimmy had seen this ingredient of
getting away from all when Steve Winwood
in traffic would all go out to the
country cottage and it would focus
that is when Jimmy asked Keith if it was
okay for them to go to the Redlands
so that was a time used for
pre-rehearsals and laying out ideas and
getting them on cassette
all right we know this story but I need
to put it out there Mick and Keith they
were up all night in Redlands working
Mick fell asleep on a sofa Keith on an
armchair it was rainy and wet
it was around 6 30 in the morning
they were crashed
Keith's older Gardener was outside by
the window doing what he usually does
working and cleaning up
so Mick got startled by the clumping and
sloshing in The Gardener's boots
waking up asking what is that sound
Keith knowing who and what it was
he says oh that's Jack jumping jack
eventually Mick would add flesh
they were on to something
now going back to the rehearsals RG
Jones
rehearsals Brian Bill and Charlie they
showed up early once and they were doing
the usual jamming while waiting for Mick
and Keith
bill was fooling around with a riff on a
piano a new one and Brian and Charlie
picked up on it and they were playing it
for a bit
Mick and Keith finally show up they hear
what they're playing and Mick says to
keep on playing it carry on that's real
good
and as bill would say
that was the Jumping Jack Flash riff we
can remember Keith's satisfaction story
and recording a riff on his cassette
recorder and then falling asleep for the
satisfaction riff and that was back in
65. Keith would say Jumping Jack Flash
and Street Fighting Man came about
because he was fascinated with the new
technology and opportunities and the
possibilities of playing an acoustic
through a cassette recorder and using
the microphone as the pickup Keith loved
the cassette as an automated dictation
it was a dream for a Lyricist he used it
constantly the microphone can be
inserted into the guitar opening and
produce an overdrive an overloaded sound
a distortion this machine was his new
notebook
so ideas
lyrics they were put on cassette they
were brought to Jimmy as I exposed some
of the interpretations of these Genius
lyrics
we're not sure
where they were all written were they
done in the Redlands were they done at
the rehearsal or at the Olympic sessions
just not sure I would think it's kind of
unknown
but maybe all three
but I wanted to share this one story
with you and a thought you could shrug
your shoulders shake your head
no
or left
it's interesting
as Folk Tales carry on especially in
England
so let's go into this there's so many
thoughts of what this song is about
and the opinions and here is one topic
that was thrown out there
there's a known tale that started around
1837 and pre-dates
well before Jack the Ripper
this thing or guy whatever it was was
called Spring-heeled Jack this being
described as having eyes like fire and
hands like Claws and able to jump from
roof to roof
is described as a grotesque figure that
was witnessed by several and it also
attacked women
now by the 1850s and 60s it was now seen
all over England
still seen in the 1870s and folks tried
to set a trap but no luck
Spring Heel Jack last sighting was in
the Victorian era of 1904 in Liverpool
leaping and jumping he was supposedly
cornered but escaped and never seen
again after that
it was supposedly given the name Jumping
Jack Flash
because of its behaviors
[Applause]
inevitable
I think one of the best distractions is
reading which I think it's better than
TV because we really knew get away from
the century even you know so you're
now your imagination is okay right there
watching TV because
you read what's 20 40 week at the moment
biographies because then you can pick
them up and put them down photographers
are really easy stuff an easy novels you
know another really heavy you know
a good heavy book to go to bed night is
good you know some someone in the
classics or something it'll go to bed
beds to sleep so what's the current
biography
who was he he was a Speculator in the
early Parliament well he lived it was a
powerful from 1917 to 1960s
it was a financial and political guy
on interesting
I think I've hit a guy
there are no secrets that Mick was a
tangling with Lucifer in that topic
manner
now bring in Marianne Mick was a
literary and deep reader being a fan of
Ginsburg curack Burrows and beat writers
but late 67 he steered towards the
Sinister side
he would be collecting some occult
information and books on the topic
named Kenneth anger was a close friend
of the stones and the Entourage
now he made the cult movie Lucifer
Rising
now anger was a disciple of the black
magician Alistair Crowley
anger was close to Marianne and Anita
Marianne would play in Lucifer Rising
the film
about black magic and Egyptian gods
summoning the angel Lucifer in order to
push a new occult age
Marianne played the goddess lilf
let's just say it was a real trippy
movie Mick would also perform and play a
score it angers 69 short movie
invocation for my demon brother Keith
did also
I just bring this up and I tie this in
because there are thoughts of some deep
Jumping Jack Flash lyrics towards Satan
and Lucifer Well a true devil song comes
along soon enough anyway there's also
some mention that the lyrics for Jumping
Jack Flash was inspired
by a William Blake poem from 1908 the
mental traveler all just speculation and
it's all open for your own
interpretation I just gotta put it out
there
so what I did was I broke down the
lyrics took out key words and removed
adjectives and came up with this list
born Crossfire hurricane
howled ma rain hag strap my back
drowned washed up
dead fell down feet bled crust bread
Crown Spike head and gas
well bottom line to me if it's a gas
it's fun
that's a guess
Keith had plenty background knowing
about his local old school Gardener and
his stories
Jack would live a life in the
countryside and not exposed to the city
as Jack was a topic for the title they
must have carried the theme on and they
stayed with the story just about Jack
who's to say born in a crossfire
hurricane was not about Jack the
gardener in World War One if that line
was related to anything to do with war
drugs War
leaving the Psychedelic period religion
Satan
all within what you The Listener wants
to interpret it to
it's the bottom line but my favorite
lyric
blind for this song is yeah and I
frowned at the crumbs of a crust of
bread
how can you even interpret this line
[Music]
[Music]
they knew how to combine lyrics
in US
we just got to see the results
they would go from Boys to Men with this
song
and copied out phrases from newspapers
and magazines then took a scissors and
cut these selections into pieces and
rearrange the fragments at random
there there's also that one last Theory
maybe Mick and Keith dabbled with that
method of cut up
cutting out lines of text like from a
newspaper and piecing it together
it's just a thought
not many of us know about R.G Jones
Studio it's located south of London this
is where they went in to do some
rehearsals
I found some info on this studio in It's
Only Rock and roll.org and it had this
clip
that I'm showing this footage is from
1964. you see
it is taken at the studio a band called
four steps Beyond were filmed here with
an eight millimeter as they wanted to
make a record that they would sell at
the clubs they played at
uh thanks Brian day55 YouTube channel
for for this
this is just to give you an idea what
the studio looked like back then
and you could imagine the stones in this
tight-knit quarters
audio you hear
is a jam from February 6th with all of
them and stew possibly
so the stones were playing their Blues
in these rehearsals they were also doing
some hard Edge tunes and instrumental
jams and Jimmy and Eddie Kramer were
here in the studio
and they opened with a song My home is a
prison also known shot my baby it's a
slim Harpo tune
[Music]
another song they would play is hold on
I'm coming
Sam and Dave tune from 1966 they would
play this several times
and Mick would do some ad living but
using satisfaction lyrics
[Music]
[Music]
oh
[Applause]
[Music]
foreign
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
hahaha
rock me baby another cut played several
times Mick would be playing some guitar
on this one
Brian was absent from the some of these
sessions though also he was actually in
Paris celebrating his birthday February
28th
same as mine
bill would not attend many of these
sessions either but as I mentioned
before the biggest moment
that occurred was Bill playing that
piano riff with Charlie and Brian and
developing that Jumping Jack Flash
Melody
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
as you see the tunes again on this list
for RG Jones Studios
they did work with early versions of no
expectations
and some stray cat Blues which you're
hearing now
very different sound
thank you
excuse me if I do repeat and become
repetitive on some of this information I
want to just make sure it's put out
there
what I'm going to present now is coming
from the book Rolling Stones gear in an
essential book that is wonderfully
written and presented and well worth it
for any Stones fan it's written by Andy
babic and Greg Prevost
and Jimmy Miller is basically talking
about how they recorded this process
with Jumping Jack Flash
and he would say starting off they would
get together and mix enormous house on
Chester Square
and they would be sitting in the empty
rooms on a carpet and they would just
run a cassette and Keith would be
playing a guitar and Mick and Keith
would sing the song that they just
written and let Jimmy hear it
and showing them a bunch of the material
able to start off with them pounding on
the table and some percussion
contributions and then record it on a
cassette
and Jimmy had the idea to say okay let's
take what we just have on cassette
and record it
onto the four track
now also what was added was the toy kit
drums that Charlie owns
so this same method was used at Olympic
Studio where they would sit in the
circle Keith along with Charlie playing
those drums what was also interesting
was they didn't use batteries in the
cassette recorder they used the AC
adapter cord so it was a consistent flow
and nothing that altered the sound I'm
not going to get into but mention this
that for the single release although
Jumping Jack Flash would be the ultimate
release of a single
the first number of the group recorded
for the single was pay your dues
which eventually went to Street Fighting
Man and as we see the final say was
Jumping Jack Flash
took precedence over pay your dues we
now go to the Jumping Jack Flash
sessions at Olympic Studios March 23rd
to the 29th
1968. Ethan Charlie were recorded on
cassette
then it was put on multi-track to get
distortion
and when you overdrive that cassette it
has a natural Distortion sound when it's
played back
the cassette would act as a pickup an
amp as the mic was jammed into the
guitar hole
they would plug the cassette into a
small extension speaker
and then place a mic in front of that
put that on tape so when Jimmy heard
this in the studio he connected
immediately with Keith's thinking and
the end result that he wanted so what
instruments were used in the studio well
Mick put the vocals Keith within 65
Gibson Hummingbird a 66 Gibson
es-355 TD playing lead and Rhythm
1966 Fender precision bass
Keith also played Charlie's Ludwig floor
tom
which will hear isolated
we hear also backing vocals from Keith
Charlie he's playing a 1963 oyster Pearl
Ludwig not the Gretch yet
now Brian is supposedly possibly using a
Rickenbacker or the Gibson ES 330 TD
not a hundred percent sure but he most
likely is buried somewhere in there or
not even used
bill will play the Hammond m102 Organ
Ian Stewart Steinway piano
and Jimmy Miller he's doing some backing
vocals
now Jumping Jack Flash when you hear it
it doesn't sound like a normal guitars
it has real uniqueness that is due to
open tuning that is due possibly to the
Nashville tuning and also recording
through the cassette deck and giving
distorted sounds it is so unique so
different and so cool and the thing
about it is the studio cut always will
sound different than the live versions
so there's many theories many thoughts
speculations people analyzing and
listening to this song and breaking it
down many people hear different things
but in general
two three guitars were not a hundred
percent sure but it's full it has
probably several
and open tuning
it could be open E which doesn't use a
capo it could be open D which does use a
capo could be standard tuning and then
there's also something called Nashville
tuning that's a high-pitched jangly
sound that came from the 50s they wanted
to get a different sound something high
pitch and they took the high pitched
strings from a 12-string guitar
what I'm showing next is the guitar
playing the little tutorials that I
found on YouTube that were kind of
helpful different perspectives different
tunings
one is open D with the Nashville guitar
also playing two guitars the second one
is a electric open E tuning so for your
non-guitaris I hope you get something
out of this and this is pretty good
visually just to see what's going on
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
thank you
[Applause]
when Keith plays this live he plays it
in open G
and that's using a capo on the fourth
fret
some more head scratching with guitar
licks those leads
it's amazing they sound like an electric
guitar for a long time I thought it was
especially that I never seen an acoustic
playing it live
it comes across as is it sounds like it
we see that you can play it the leads
while strumming the chords and Ronnie I
believe plays those leads separately
live with his guitar part it's not known
if this song is all Acoustics doubt it I
believe there's an electric guitar in
here gonna show two videos on showing
how Ronnie plays his guitar part which
is in standard tuning the first video is
pretty straightforward and showing the
leads and in the second video
the guy in the YouTube channel added a
little bit more double stops
foreign
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
I guess I'm making a point here that you
talk to several people you're going to
get several different types of answers
hey if somebody out there knows
something 100 percent sure let me know
now the base is played by Keith using a
Precision base it has Keith's pounding
drive he knew what he had in his head
for this sound and he transposed it
Keith's way
it complements the guitars so well as
I'm playing YouTube channel HJ reviews
deconstructing Jumping Jack Flash that
isolates the tracks which is really
wonderful to hear
we here besides the base of course we
hear Charlie
[Music]
right now I'm gonna play you an early
version of the song
and we hear a different approach here in
the beginning with the tune and the
delivery
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
across
[Music]
all right
[Music]
a lot of Yeah Yeahs and my minds and
woes there is also later on a second
watch it
[Music]
again
[Music]
don't forget
[Music]
the outro here we do hear a little bit
more leads and also the melotron playing
which I'll talk about more the ending
has mixed singing the way he does it
live and also the cold ending here is
also the way they do it live
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
what I'm going to take now is a version
of Jumping Jack Flash from 2021 a stereo
remix
made by Tiger Rogers on YouTube tiger
Rogers made a stereo version that's
really cool a lot of Separation gives
you a good idea to hear everything
clearly
so let's start this off so the fun will
begin with the two distorted guitars the
Acoustics on each side the bass comes
rumbling in with the drums
and then right after watch it we hear
the piano
picking it up and playing with the
guitars mixed right in that layer
you'll hear something that sounds like a
dog barking
that is Keith playing the floor tom it's
repetitive throughout the song
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
watch it
and what is fantastic is how Mick
delivers the song and how he extends
like every third word and the last word
[Music]
combination sounding of everything with
those leads for the chorus
[Music]
[Music]
thank you
what I'm gonna play right now is a
deconstruction
the isolation of the guitar part during
the chorus so let's give a listen to
that and you'll be able to hopefully
hear the Nashville tuning that higher
pitch
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
[Applause]
to this interlude this break here with
this guitar riff going on which is to me
just fantastic and so well positioned
but also what's really huge and not
noticeable until you start focusing on
it is the Maracas now you hear them real
clear
foreign
[Music]
now the ending the outro where they all
start singing Jumping Jack Flash
and how the explosion all of a sudden
kicks in with that organ and then also
the melotron by Bill wonderful wonderful
and it just extends out and it goes and
Fades out and that melatron at the very
end those last little notes are just
amazing to me I've listened to this song
a hundred times now in this past month
working on this project
I can't get enough of it still it's
mind-blowing this Stone
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I read a couple pieces where some people
thought it was Nikki on the melotron
but believing it is Bill Bill did own a
melotron he got it one in 1966. we do
know Brian did play one also and
contributed to early Stone songs with it
hahaha
[Music]
it's the end it's always the End Key I
love it so that's that and then you've
got the sort of
wow amazing
thank you
so here's another version of Jumping
Jack Flash this one had a longer outro
and you get to hear more of the melotron
which I think is wonderful piece to hear
here you go
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
texture
he did not like the session much it was
haphazard to him
the end result was good but not quite
what he wanted
the Fidelity wasn't that great not quite
in your face now Keith would comment and
mention his side of the musical style
quality he would say it is almost Arabic
or very old archaic classical
the chord setups you can only hear in
Gregorian chants or something like that
it is a weird mixture of your actual
rock and roll and at the same time this
weird echo of very very ancient music
that you don't even know
pretty profound and deep
type of comment I'm going to try to
attempt to bring forward what possibly
Keith is referring to in making this
analogy
[Music]
now get my investigation here there's
some people who are thinking there may
be some harmonica played maybe it's
Brian
I'm not hearing harmonica
but who knows this is just a thought
possibility but who knows for certain
this is my take if Brian did some
magical work contribution the Jumping
Jack Flash I think the stones would have
acknowledged this think about it they
were blown away when they heard Brian
contributing to no expectations they
proudly acknowledge this
if he did have any positive contribution
for Jumping Jack Flash I'm sure he would
have been mentioned just my side
Jumping Jack Flash would be finished up
April 20th at Olympic
and here's the bonus coverage
the B-side of this angle child of the
Moon
make on vocals Keith rhythm guitar
backing vocals Brian soprano saxophone
Bill and bass Charlie Nikki on organ
maybe piano and Jimmy some back in
vocals it was worked on March 29th in
the same sessions March and April
it's the last threat of this psychedelic
67 satanic sessions it was worked on in
July and October of 67. also known as
child of the Moon
RMK
and a lot of discussions and Forums on
what did RMK mean remake remark Allen
Klein's daughter Robin Mary Klein this
tune along with flash are tunes that
didn't fit with where they were headed
with beggars
trial of the moon was released more on
compilation albums with this on the B
side of jump and Jack Flash it is a
different version than the cops
you got that on Hot Rocks
the singles collection
and the song had a few outtakes and a
four minute acoustic version guitar and
Nikki on piano Brian's not on the early
takes
this is an outtake that does not have
any lead vocals this is from March of
68. this is fantastic and this version
could fit in on Beggars love hearing how
Nikki is on this and the acoustic guitar
is great and multi-tracked Keith plays
his black beauty Les Paul Custom now
painted one the one he painted himself a
psychedelic
[Music]
guitar tuning is an open e some people
play it in open D they're using a Vox AC
30 amp and not a hundred percent sure
but there may be a second guitar
Brian will play the sax the soprano sax
and we can hear Brian on this isolated
track right here from Brian Jones
resource YouTube channel
that high pitch is Brian it's a violin
sound
[Music]
Bill's base is so obvious and it's a
fuzz base
you can pick this out easily and it
sounds like a lead instrument
the opening of the tune we hear some
type of guitar chord lingering a hum or
the end of a chord and it fades into
Keith
[Music]
greeted by what sounds like to me kids
playing in the street but no there are
several thoughts Mick Keith no but it's
Jimmy and it's hard to make out but what
he is saying is lame prick Society I'll
be glad I can pay my taxes if I'm stoned
yeah this had to be some type of inside
joke or just being stoned I'm gonna play
it twice for you here
remember
foreign
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
now lyrically it has a slight flow of a
story
and moon child is an astrological sign a
romantic song from Mick to Barry in
probably
I think she had some influence in this
make them piece together some
combination the way the great lyricists
do
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
I had mentioned earlier about the
timeline
and the sequence of events that happened
and it was a little challenge so I'll
just say one thing like Bill's book says
something one other resource says one
thing two other resources say something
else and it's regarding the shooting of
the promo films the three of them
so let's just push aside the exact dates
not go there in the sequence I'm just
going to give you information about it
Mick would work with Jimmy Miller and
also Glenn Johns helping out with
engineering would work on the backing
tracks for the promotional videos
directed by Michael Lindsay Hogg
Michael got us started 24 years old
directing some episodes of the British
TV show Ready Steady go
this is where he met the stones Michael
was born in New York City and his father
was an English baronet Edward Lindsay
Hogg and his mom an Irish actress
Geraldine Fitzgerald
he would meet many celebrities like
Charlie Chaplin Betty Davis Lawrence
Olivier Humphrey Bogart Henry Miller
now Michael after Ready Steady go he'd
be working with the stones on this promo
and well after this one 15 other videos
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
now for both videos
Keith would use his Gibson custom black
beauty Les Paul the one he painted
and Brian uses Keith's blue Fender telly
bill is using his Dallas tuxedo base and
Charlie is Ludwig
first video was shot early afternoon
pretty basic shooting putting in some
special lighting here and there they're
in the dark with Lighting on their faces
lip synced and as you heard opens up
with the version of Jumping Jack Flash
saying yeah yeah yeah
plenty of close-ups of Mick he does get
a little bit looser as the video goes on
foreign
some resources would say that the
painted faces second promo video shot on
another day was done on the same day as
child of the Moon
which was done out in the countryside
Michael had said at some point while
they were all in a meal break he would
see Brian sitting at the makeup table
and playing around
with the makeup colors and putting them
on his face and then wiping them off and
just trying it out Michael began
thinking about the look and then told
Mick Keith
Bill and Charlie to give the makeup a
try also
Michael did have a makeup artist there
to assist
and they just all got into it
now we have to remember Mick wore the
makeup in 2000 light years from home and
he did look close to that image with the
stripes and the shapes on his chest
Keith would wear gold tinted makeup
Brian a green tint
Bill and Charlie would wear heavy eye
makeup after they're done they looked
around and they found some big props of
space alien sunglasses
so now with this look it did provide a
nicer additional dimension for the
visuals
along with the makeup
towards the end of the video I love how
Mick is Barefoot in this and prancing
around
and the stones would love this version
and as video media goes well we know
what the 80s most of us know with the
80s videos did
and especially back then in a means to
promote bands and artists to the public
this was huge at that time and back in
the 60s it was even bigger the bigger
bands were able to use this promotional
tools the public would be able to see
these videos shown on the TV shows top
of the pop shindig hullabaloo and in the
U.S the Smothers Brothers comedy show
this video was shown top of the pops May
23rd June 6 and December 25th
for those of you who have seen this
video
you know how
head scratching it is and reading up on
deep meanings again spiritual
astrological
who shot in the countryside of Surrey in
Epping Forest
it opens with an actress Eileen Atkins
she has a dirty face and she's teary
she's walking in the woods Dark Woods
there's a light on her
then a shot of the four stones
a muddy road with a wooden bridge
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Brian was supposed to be filmed in a
tree but when his time came to shoot
this he was lost somewhere where he
wandered up away on his own Mick was
pretty annoyed with Brian
she changed
[Music]
now Mick and Keith were to appear on
Horseback at one point
[Music]
[Music]
it is shot like a cult horror flick
[Music]
now the stones were invited to the nme
new music express poll awards show they
were a winner
this was for May 12th at Wembley this
award was prestigious the UK in 1953 it
started just after the magazine was
created even Elvis was given an award in
1960. he actually sent in a handwritten
note for the acceptance though
there were other attendees invited to
this show for the 12th Dusty Springfield
status quo the move the herd BG's Lulu
Cliff Richard and the Shadows but sadly
to say the host was Jimmy Seville
the footage is rare one and no audio is
accompanying it of the stones playing
Roger Moore who was popular on the TV
show called The Saint would introduce
the stones and accept the award so the
stones were very nervous about this
event they did not rehearse and only
wanted to play Jumpin Jack Flash
but once they got in front of the
screaming fans it got a wonderful
welcome and felt that crazy Vibe they
went into satisfaction and they got a
real good reception Keith would use his
Moon painted gibson-less Paul Brian es
330td Charlie the Ludwig Bill used a new
Sunbird Vox Wyman base
they used a wall of Vox amps
but this was shared by all the bands
now Brian would say in May 68 the more I
hear Jumping Jack Flash the more I
realize it was wrong to think that child
of the moon was the more commercial side
of the single
it had the same appeal as satisfaction
and I'm getting to love it I'd like to
go back to the thought of Brian playing
some guitar in this tune although not
Audible
[Music]
go back to the questioning of that
Bill's book rolling with the stones page
303 he does mention Brian guitar
so I'm gonna fast forward
December 11th 12 1968 the filming of
Rock and Roll Circus
thanks to the Brian Jones resource
Channel on YouTube on this info so
you're hearing the isolation of Brian
Keith and Meg
listening to this you hear the two
guitars it's proof that Brian did play
live on this tune
it was his point to show that Brian's
live contribution
prove some of the doubters out there
Brian's guitar has a lower bass sound it
really sounds like a bass but it's not
very very Bassy the obvious other one is
Keith
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
get down
[Applause]
[Music]
I fell down
so what I want to do now is something
fun
I always
was intrigued with how Jumping Jack
Flash and the evolution of the song
played live
went through the eras of Mick Taylor to
Ronnie
and how different it was from 69 all the
way to Karen
in the presentation on how they wanted
to play it
your different styles depending on the
tour
I'll give a bit of a flavor of some of
the live versions and we could hear the
development of it through the years
[Applause]
so the next time it would be played 1969
in Hyde Park
was the second song of the set they do
not play that acoustic intro
with watch it
Mick Taylor now involved Keith playing
an open G Capo at the fourth
Mick Taylor not playing anything
sophisticated we do not hear any lead
type riffs
[Music]
Mick does a watch it get down
Charlie and Bill doing some great Rhythm
and the song does not have an extended
outro
[Music]
all right
so we go to November 69 during that Tour
Madison Square Garden yep get your
Yaya's out opening song
we got Mick throwing some punches and he
is just impeccable in fact the band is
impeccable they're Flawless they're so
tight
thank you
[Music]
but still no leads up front or during
the interludes
and Mick does eventually seem so into it
but not moving about as much we do hear
later on mgtaylor break into his style
of leads
but there's not a long outro
[Music]
yes
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
STP
1972 Texas
played second to last song before Street
Fighting Man now
right into the riff
Keith with his open G
[Music]
okay
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Bobby banging the tambourine
full guitar combination very thick here
Mick is super comfortable prancing you
hear the piano
[Music]
after the chorus Mick Taylor goes into
his tearing
the tearing type lead Lexi does with
Mick and his Jagger jumps
[Applause]
[Music]
we see Keith really feeling it and you
could see his love for this tune
no backup vocals yet
[Music]
foreign
Jack Flash live versions are still
around 3 minutes and 45 seconds long
[Applause]
[Music]
will it come now to 73
the Brussels Affair sound
ban pushes this and we hear Keith
grooving
[Music]
all right
our school
Keith is pushing this riff throwing in a
few little embellishments in there a
little different it mixes clearer on him
and he's in a trance
fixated on his passion
Taylor's lead sound a little bit
different by his choice he is playing
the leads his way still
listen to that bill base and Charlie
I talk plenty about this
album on my other goat's head soup
documentary
[Music]
oh yeah
still clocked at three minutes and about
26 seconds time
they still don't have long outros going
we now come to the New Era with Ronnie
La Forum 1975 end of the tour of the
Americas
they play Jumping Jack Flash second to
last before Sympathy for the Devil as
The Encore
hey
[Music]
it is La Forum clip we did see Keith
Heaven guitar tunings and some issues
going on
he did seem a bit out of sync at first
today
[Applause]
[Music]
now what is great Ronnie's adding some
of the
studio cut leads in the song but also
adding some of his Flair
in his style
[Applause]
[Applause]
Mick is all over the place with this big
stage his wonderful Lotus stage that he
gets out of breath and his lyrics and
his words start
dragging a bit
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
piercing leads with all the others jam
and heavy
this is the guitar band we've been
waiting for for this tune they're just
letting it loose
Charlie and Ollie they pick it up
and cranking it and pushing everybody to
another level
[Music]
oh
[Music]
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
so this starts the long versions this
one clocked in at 8 minutes and 17
seconds maybe Mick wanted to extend to
his theatrics the water bucket dumping
and just running around and more Jagger
jumps
you gotta love this version
this is just golden for me
oh
[Music]
[Applause]
I go
thank you good night good night
[Applause]
[Music]
we're gonna jump to 1977 the Elma combo
show
this version could be one of my
favorites 5 minutes and 26 seconds long
the sound on this one is so crisp and
Ronnie comes in perfectly he plays some
of the leads at the chorus but not fully
there yet to the studio album he's
adding his own Flair still
[Music]
let's go
[Applause]
all right
together
again
[Music]
[Music]
listen to Mick here I was drowned and
washed up
[Music]
again
[Music]
I just love the work by all here we can
only dream and imagine the visual on
this tune in the interlude we get to
hear Billy and Stu
but listen to Ronnie
they are flying here and so tight as
Charlie races through
this one is worth to let it roll and all
experience it
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
all right
[Music]
thank you very much
[Applause]
[Music]
I am repeating myself on this next
version of some girls 1978 Texas
but this is another killer version
the energy is above and beyond
Mick's got that nastiness about him that
raw Edge
in fact they all do
Mick is just on a rampage
and his alter Mick performer ego is
flying high
what is cool we hear the chorus
of Keith and Ronnie singing
if this is not moving you towards
understanding why they are the greatest
I don't know check your pulse
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
versions from different cities for
Jumping Jack Flash Seattle Kansas City
others leads July 25th that happened to
be Stew's last show
the Hampton live one is the closest the
cleanest best to me
and it was played as the last song
24th song
Keith is on his A-game
they are meshing
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
together
[Music]
[Music]
I must go
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Ronnie comes very close here with the
leads but the single sound
[Music]
he intertwines this throughout the jam
we got Mick
Mick in the cherry picker to make this
one extend and go longer
and more Ronnie and Keith singing the
backup
is phenomenal
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
thank you
Keith had some of his leads here too and
more of the Charlie pounding
again another worthy point a guitar band
this one lasted eight minutes and 16
seconds
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
foreign
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
there is a change from the last tours
when they're playing this song you could
see it when you watch the video clips
and you hear the tune itself now
1989 Atlantic City Steel Wheels and
urban jungle tour
with Chuck Lavelle conducting now
and we now get the stones working on the
sounds closer to the single and adding
the backup singing
[Applause]
it's become a business
[Applause]
[Music]
song is now more calculated and does
have the leads filled in more
and you could see Mick this loves to
perform this song
but yeah there is a butt when compared
to the last tours the mix show is now
less Raw let's improvise it's
it's less angry he does show his
conditioning when he runs side to side a
lot
and his now presentation is a bit
different
[Music]
[Music]
don't get me wrong seeing them live
there's nothing ever like it
it's always powerful just the comparison
of the song throughout the tours
the band jams this one and still great
to hear running at six minutes 19
seconds
but with a larger band
it does now sound different
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
[Applause]
tour but now to the Tokyo Dome 1990. I
liked his version it's very polished
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
even closer to the single now
a subdued Rhythm especially in the
beginning but playing much more of the
flash leads
Keith is focused on his rhythm
and the background vocals for the chorus
is eminent
[Music]
Ronnie and Keith have some wonderful
dueling
and that's probably why I really
like this version
you're doing the weave again so
beautifully that we hear Keith with his
patented leads
[Music]
I'm alive
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
amazing
in a way Mick extends the song He's
shown his calisthenics and skipping and
and now with these bigger stages he is
connecting with all of the audience much
more
and I'm still seeing and feeling his
passion for playing this tune now Mick
being around 47 years old now is a bit
lighter on the Jagger jumps
Keith playing his tally in open G
abled at the fourth this one goes for
six minutes 58 seconds and they did pour
this one on
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
I was torn on which show to focus on for
Voodoo Lounge tour in 95 they were hot
this Tour on fire
Brixton Academy on July 19th was a
kick-ass show like they all were
they just played Wembley a week or so
before with the Black Crowes
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Ronnie's a bit lost in the beginning
during the verses Keith is remarkable
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
no build this tour he's gone welcome
Daryl
still the stones know how to keep this
tomb going the intensity in this small
venue proves how much they give it for
the fans
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you're feeling the groove Daryl is
wonderful Charlie is just driving and
pounding and carries the band on his
shoulders
[Music]
is you guys
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
thank you
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
and this one has the horns added and you
surely hear
the organ at the end and the backing
vocals
[Music]
this one's clocked in at 4 minutes and
58 seconds
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
1998 Bridges to Babylon tour
the song is loud
it's full
and the guitar is pretty edgy
Mick
front and center at first
[Music]
[Music]
there is a point where Keith jumps off
stage to walk around in the front he
stops playing and for that gap of time
you hear
that his guitar is missing and how
powerful it it really is for the song
when it's not played
[Music]
oh
[Applause]
Mick gets to work with the fans as the
jam goes on Keith has heard much more
than Ronnie
who's playing some single leads and
Charlie's not double timing as he's done
in the past
this one clocks in at six minutes 27
seconds
[Music]
[Applause]

2003 Madison Square Garden New York City
licked live
this one features Ronnie using that
sitar guitar on top of all that energy
is
right
[Music]
now
he plays the single riff plenty on this
one
along with some wonderful double stops
power of this tune is carried through
[Music]
this is Ronnie's Dan Electro baby sitar
it's also used for painted black and
sweet fighting man he was loned this
guitar
[Music]
now add it to the layers of sound and
it's pretty buried is Blondie's acoustic
it's plenty of horns
but Ronnie jams his older style leads
this one goes to 5 minutes and 46
seconds
[Music]
[Applause]

2006 Beacon Theater Bigger Bang tour
this one is the opener
I do have two issues though
that is with the shooting Style
I can't get a feel with all the quick
movement and the constant camera cuts
then
the worst part is the fake audience in
front
when I think about this and see 63 year
old mix Still rocking has gotta make you
smile amazing
[Music]
thank you
[Applause]
I'm making
me
[Music]
this one's clocked at three minutes 55
seconds much shorter but still jamming
on this one
the sound on this is not just good not
great it's fantastic
the guitars are heard up front and so
clear
and you feel that power
[Music]
good

together yeah

[Music]
toothless
now for this song we are hearing the
pace is much slower than usual
pure guitar weaving with Ronnie and
Keith on this one
[Applause]
[Music]
we notice this new guitar that Ronnie's
playing really cool for soul Raya 6
custom he owns several electrics and
acoustics
this Roya model is a high end and it's
customized
it was made designed in 2006 handmade in
Finland it was originally supposed to go
to Billy Gibbons
Ronnie fell in love with this solid body
instead Billy will follow a year later
this guitar has two vintage looking twin
humbuckers designed by the versole owner
not a typical humbucker sound
custom version costs about twenty
thousand dollars it does have gold leaf
there's not a lot of
isolated footage of Chuck Lavelle
who is a rock and roll royalty in my
eyes
and he's a true gentleman
and a Hidden Gem
with much charm he was the one to have
the stones expand and dig into their
archives and break out what many wanted
to hear
he started with them in the tattoo U
1982 portion of the tour
the one thing I gotta admire with Chuck
for even more than his wonderful music
is his passion for his wife a 45 plus
years together

thank you

and the last version I have live is from
Stockholm Sweden July 31st
2022. thank you Matt Lee the Guinness
World Record Rolling Stones collector
and author of a number one book gets a
real good seats and
this one is
pretty straightforward same as the last
2016 tour version
and Ronnie with his versaille and Keith
with his blue tally still going with
that now
Keith's book he adds when you get a riff
like flash you get a feeling of elation
a wicked Glee the band just takes off
behind me
if he can play only one of his riffs
ever again
he would say give me flesh
levitation is probably the closest
analogy to what I feel
Keith would explain his feelings for
this song and say as soon as I pick up
the guitar and play that riff something
happens here in your stomach I go into
turbo overdrive it is one of the better
feelings in the world
you just jump on the Riff and it plays
you
Keith considers flash as the best thing
they ever did with Jimmy Miller
Mickey Keith 79 years old Ronnie's 74.
still cranking Jumping Jack Flash and we
hope we get more
so at this time I feel I surely exposed
this song's true inner depths we just
witnessed this fabulous song
and its power
