I love the Stones, but Jeebus, they did some horrible videos. Case in point:
In my opinion, this phase of the Stones is part of why punk became necessary. Like many other once great 60’s and early 70’s bands, they’d become bloated and lethargic by ’75-’76. Then in ’76-’77 emerged the first wave of punks, who often mocked the Stones as has-beens. I think that stung them into action. By ’78 Keef had kicked the junk, and they came out with the more energetic and stripped-down Some Girls. I saw them in both ’75 and ’78, and they were far better in ’78.
This video gets in just under the wire! (1974, and I’ve always liked it.)
