I’ve been a Rolling Stones nut for practically my entire life, and have dozens and dozens of hours of Stones bootlegs, but for whatever reason this awesome live take of Lady Jane, performed during their fourth appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1967, seems to have slipped right past me. YouTube has been very kind to Rolling Stones fans!

Dig Brian Jones on dulcimer as a cheeky Mick Jagger sings of being an Elizabethan-era kept man. After Jones died, they dropped this song from their stage repertoire. Lady Jane, taken from Aftermath, was a 2-sided single, sharing the A-side with Mother’s Little Helper. The Italian picture sleeve is seen above.
 

You know that this is the one song Ed probably really liked and if they didn’t do this one they could never have done “Have you seen your mother baby, standing in the shadow.”

Nice suit Mr. Jones!

Tasty.

how have i not seen this before? 0_o

Pretty sure just the lead vocal is “live”. Cool video though.

Brian seems to have a bandaged left hand. Any ideas anyone?

all stones music after brian jones’ departure is rubbish
