The Rolling Stones released ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’ on May 24, 1968 marking a significant shift back to R’n’B after their psychedelic phase. Driven by innovative recording techniques, the song features powerful guitar riffs and a lively rhythm, emerging as a major worldwide hit and a British number 1 single.
The Rolling Stones’ live version of Chuck Berry’s ‘Let It Rock’ amps up the original’s gritty vibe, painting a picture of a hard-working railroad laborer. Their raucous performance in Leeds in 1971 turned it into a hidden gem, giving the song fresh energy and making it a standout B-side to ‘Brown Sugar’.
