Music Video of the Day: Worried About You by The Rolling Stones (1981, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg)

The Rolling Stones keep things simple in this music video for Worried About You. Worried About You was first recorded in 1975 but was not released until 1981, when it was included on Tattoo You, an album that was largely made up of outtakes from previous recording sessions.

When Worried About You was first recorded, Billy Preston played the piano and the guitar solo was performed by Woody Perkins, who was then under consideration for the lead guitarist spot that had been vacated by Mick Taylor. By the time the song was finally released and this video was filmed, Ron Wood had joined the band and, in the video, he’s the one who performs Perkins’s solo. Jagger, meanwhile, stands in for Billy Preston.

This video one of many Tattoo You videos to be directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg. Lindsay-Hogg is probably best known for directing Let It Be.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Living In A Ghost Town by The Rolling Stones (2020, directed by Joe Connor)

This may be the first music video of the COVID-19 era.

This song was recorded about a year ago, for the Rolling Stones’s next album. That’s a project that the Stones are still working on but, over the past month, Living In A Ghost Town has suddenly become very relevant. This video was shot around the ghost towns in which we are all currently living.

Just think, all of the new and edgy bands haven’t had anything to say about the coronavirus. The Rolling Stones had a lot to say and that’s why they’re still the world’s greatest rock and roll band.

Enjoy!
