Rock Clip of the Week - Rolling Stones, Live in 1975, Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Heartbreaker

First time for the Rolling Stones (I think?) here on Waved Rumor's Rock Clip of the Week - In 1975, the Stones were arguably the biggest tour ticket at the time - Led Zeppelin, Queen and Kiss were probably a close 2, 3, 4.

By this time, for the Stones, money and coke were flowing in likely equal amounts (for the inside, er, dope on the Stones' scene a few years earlier, check out this book.)

When this song appeared on Goat Heads Soup, it became one of the more popular live songs for the Stones. I've always liked the streetwise lyrics on this and the raging double chords of Keith and Ronnie.
A ten year old girl on a street corner,
Sticking needles in her arm.
She died in the dirt of an alleyway,
her mother said she had no chance, no chance!
Heart breaker, heart breaker,
she stuck the pins right in her heart.
Heart breaker, pain maker,
stole the love right out of you heart.


This clip is from a live bootleg shot at the LA Forum on the 1975 tour - it includes Mick Jagger introducing the band to large applause. The song kicks in around 1:40. Happy Friday - Enjoy the rock.
