THE ROLLING STONES - Street Fighting Man / No Expectations - London - 1968There's not really a whole lot that I could say about the Stones that hasn't been said before in about a hundred different ways, so I'm not going to try too hard here. Here's the thing, I happen to love pre-70's Stones, and I also happen to think 'Street Fighting Man' is one of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time.
The note-worthy thing about this single is that "Street Fighting Man' is a different mix than what I'm used to. The music is about the same, but Mick's vocals are noticably different, the mix is very dirty. You can see why they remixed it, but I think it sounds great. I can't tell for sure if it's a completely different vocal or just a peculiar mix, but it sounds really raw. Super cool.
'No Expectations' seems to be the standard mix, and it's a good song, just not a favorite Stones' song of mine.
Alright.

I agree completely on "Street Fighting Man"
and you should seek out the Johnny Cash cover of "No Expectations" on the "Cover You: the Rolling Stones Songbook" album - totally opens that song up to greater glory
