The Rolling Stones Song of the Day is- Let It Loose-a song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards it is the final song on side 3 of Exile On Main St. Like the previous song “I Just Want To See His Face”- Let It Loose is a gospel influenced song. Mick had attended Sunday services while in Los Angeles with Billy Preston and was impressed by the singing on the choir. Some of the song lyrics were lifted from the song Man Of Constant Sorrow which was a traditional folk song. The Rolling Stones have never performed Let It Loose in concert. On the album version Dr. John is among those singing background vocals and the ever present Nicky Hopkins plays piano and mellotron.
Ah it is a mellotron. thought so. what a sound and what a song. Interesting they’ve never played it live. Can’t be that many popular stones tracks like that. You should put together a list as you go and put them in a post!
Will do some research on that!
Nice. Amazing that we have access to our their concert playlists. Exile might have a couple of others…just wanna see his face for eg?
I would bet Their Satanic Majesties Request might have the most.
Haha yeah I would expect so
Nicky Hopkins outdid himself on this one. Add this one to one of my favorite RS songs.
