T...March 6-9, 1966: RCA Studios, Los Angeles, USA. <br />The Rolling Stones: High And Dry (Jagger-Richards) (3:10)<br />The Rolling Stones: I Am Waiting (Jagger-Richards) (3:13)<br />The Rolling Stones: Out Of Time (Jagger-Richards) (5:42)<br />The Rolling Stones: Long Long While (Jagger-Richards) (3:02)<br />The Rolling Stones: Lady Jane (Jagger-Richards) (3:10)<br />Keith Richards: "Lady Jane" <br />Brian was getting into dulcimer then. Because he dug Richard Farina. We were also listening to a lot of Appalachian music then too. To me, Lady Jane is very Elizabethan. There are a few places in England where people still speak that way, Chaucer English.<br /> <br />The Rolling Stones: Stupid Girl (Jagger/Richards) (2:55)<br />Keith Richards: The girl put-down songs <br />Songs like Under My Thumb and Stupid Girl were all a spin-off from our environment: hotels, and too many dumb chicks. Not all dumb, not by any means, but that's how one got.<br /><br />The Rolling Stones: It's Not Easy (Jagger-Richards) (2:55)<br />The Rolling Stones: Under My Thumb (Jagger-Richards) (3:41)<br />Keith Richards and Mick Jagger: "Under My Thumb" <br />Keith: Brian was still fantastic making records, because he was so versatile. I mean, he'd have marimbas - which is why you have marimbas on Under My Thumb - or dulcimer, sitar. He kind of lost interest in guitar, in a way. But at the same time he added all of that other color, those other instruments and other ideas. He was an incredibly inventive musician.<br />Mick: There was one song that was particularly chosen as an anti-women thing, which was Under My Thumb. And actually Under My Thumb - how does it go... (sings) “Under my thumb, there's a girl who once had me down”. So the whole idea was that she - that I was under her, she was kicking me around. So the whole idea is absurd, all I did was turn the tables around. So women took that to be against femininity, where in reality it was trying to "get back", you know, against being a "repressed male". This was a long time ago (laughs).<br /><br />The Rolling Stones: Flight 505 (Jagger-Richards) (3:29)<br />The Rolling Stones: What To Do (Jagger-Richards) (2:30)<br /><br />660306A 6th - 9th March: Los Angeles, RCA Studios, Hollywood.
