Parachute woman, land on me tonight
Parachute woman, land on me tonight
I'll break big in New Orleans
And I'll overspill in Caroline
Parachute woman, join me for a ride
Parachute woman, join me for a ride
I'll make my blow in Dallas
And get hot again in half the time
Parachute woman, will you blow me out?
Parachute woman, will you blow me out?
Well, my heavy throbbers itchin'
Just to lay a solo rhythm down

my fav stones album, and one of my fav tracks from it. fabulous to hear. thank you!
This is a 10 don't talk about it!
was this picture taken at CBGB's? My brother's band played there but i never made the trip. Sounds like it was a trip and Rich said they're one of the only clubs that paid bands. So 'renovation money saved' was well spent
Watched "Shine a Light" last night. Documentary (?) of a 2006 Stones concert at the Beacon Theater in NYC. Mick was rocking.
The stage was wide open for Mick, Ron, and Keith to 'strike the pose,' and to provide clear views of Charlie. Horn section, bass player (Darryl Jones), pianist, and at least two backup singers staged almost into the wings. I suppose we buy tickets to see those old guys ... and they were very, very good.

The Doors never had a bass player and they managed, so it can be done.
But in the Stones case they have used Darryl Jones ever since Wyman left; always for tours and for many/most studio recordings. Why he was never made an official Stone is something that you'll have to ask them.
maybe cause he'd be entitled to some royalties?

So Bill Wyman left the band in 1993, and they haven't had a bassist since? Forgive me if I haven't kept up on things.

Why don't they just have Mick play bass? He's not kidding anybody with that guitar in his hands.
Mick is not standing there using the guitar as a prop. He is indeed playing it live. He has played guitar since he was 14 which, as we all know, was over 60 years ago now. I'm guessing he picked up a little something along the way.
Mick Jagger is by no means a lead or regular guitar player. They have had Keith, Ron, Brian, and the other Mick for that role over the years. That said, Mick has played rhythm guitar on some of their greatest tracks. Including: Sway, Moonlight Mile, Fingerprint File, Tumbling Dice, and many more. His rhythm work has freed Keith and Ron to trade leads for decades. He is credited with some guitar work on every Stones album since Sticky Fingers except Dirty Work and Blue and Lonesome. 13 studio and many live albums worth.
So... better than you with more credited experience (in the Worlds Greatest Rock and Roll Band, no less) fwiw.
Also: You might be showing your a** in assuming that Bass guitar is something you just hand out to the least guitarist in a band. I think Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, John Entwhistle, Flea, Jaco Pastorious, John Paul Jones, Jack Bruce, Tony Levin, and soooo many more might just have an issue with that broad generalization.

While being known on the radio mainly for his ballads, do yourself a favor by going to one of his concerts. He rocks it, and he is definitely an entertainer.

Just played the LP this weekend. Desert isle stuff.

The title of this song has just reminded me of a song by Amon Duul in the early 70's called "Nude disintegrating parachute woman" which is a much better title I think!

The great irony surronding The Beatles is that they all preached, "love, love, love," but they couldn't forgive each other.

agreed—I really didn't appreciate Beggars when I first started listening to it (which was probably around 1978). But it sure has aged well. Besides the two "rock hits" (Sympathy & Street Fighting Man), their laid-back, almost "country-ish" take on several other songs still seems fresh, and was certainly a precursor to the alt-country movement which still has some legs today.

I was inspired by Jagger in Nicholas Roeg's 1970 film 'Performance ' starring James Fox and Mick Jagger; he's pluckin a guitar, singing an excellant blues number - turned my head around seeing this X-rated masterpiece way back then

They don't get enough credit for that. Certainly Gram Parson was an influence on them, but songs like Dead Flowers Honky Tonk Women were certainly influential on bands like Uncle Tupelo and Ryan Adams.

A sure sign a band is great is when their marginal tracks are gems. This is one of those tracks from the Stones.
Jeez, they have a couple of dozen iconic masterful songs, and then they can pull this little known masterpiece out.... you know, as merely wonderful.
The Rolling Stones. Fifty Years.

No track from this album can go wrong for me. We already had Salt of the Earth, earlier today (on my side of the globe, I mean).
Now, Prodigal Son or Factory Girl would actually crown the experience.

Their performance of this on the "Rock n' Roll Circus" is pure gold on so many levels. Check it out if you haven't seen it!

Hate to disagree with someone who agreed with me, but Sympathy happens to be my favorite Stones song of all time - despite the gazillion times I've heard it. Love the Get Yer Ya Ya's Out Version especially well.

This sort of behavior was around long, long before Clear Channel ever came into being.

I just saw them in concert in Barcelona. It was a last minute decision, and a very tough one, because, you know, they've been around for so long...
besides, the price (ouch!!)
And it was marvellous!
I don't regret a single cent spent on the concert
Many young groups would love to play half as good just for one day in their lives.
What a concert!
What a song!
And what a couple of years between them
although i do like hearing less played stones songs, whenever i do, it makes me desperately want to hear "paint it black"
Great cut from a grossly underappreciated Stones release. Though I've L-O-N-G tired of Sympathy For the Devil (I dont have any), the rest of this release is excellent!

The future's uncertain
And the end is always near.
This is how Roadhouse Blues begins:
Keep your eyes on the road, your hand upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hand upon the wheel
We're going to the roadhouse, going to have a real
Good time

What I like about the Stones is they have had multiple incarnations that were (are still) great.

The Stones really had a talent for soaking up what their peers were doing and reflecting it back out in their own songs. The R&B influences go without saying. On this tune, I hear a heavy hit of the Doors, particularly on the opening riff.
I think you are hearing the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues"...the riff is a common blues riff. Morrison Hotel came out in 70, this song came out in 68.
Well, I woke up this morning,
I got myself a beer.

One of my faves from my favorite Stones album.
my,do i feel like a virgin, first time ever with this rip, and i thought i knew everything, hurts so good....
This song has a very unorthodox bass line considering the guitar is straight ahead R&B.
Their performance of this on the "Rock n' Roll Circus" is pure gold on so many levels. Check it out if you haven't seen it!
Jeez, this is an awesome set!
Rolling Stones - Parachute Woman
John Hammond - Heartattack and Vine
Tom Waits - Get Behind The Mule
I gotta go to freakin' bed! I can't sleep when I'm lovin' this so much.

Beggars Banquet, then Let It Bleed, then Sticky Fingers and then they top it with Exile on Main Street.
Astonishing.
