Mick Jagger - excellent Berlin interview (1973)

50 years ago the Rolling Stones mid-1973 were the biggest band in the world, just one year on from magnificent Exile On Main Street album, about to release Goats Head Soup. Knocking on 30, Mick Jagger at his laconic best in this compelling interview with Whispering Bob Harris in Berlin, fully aware of his audience and sporting true rock-star status.

Ever the charming businessman is Mr Jagger. He was so direct then, very open to discuss his and Keith’s abilities to write solo albums. I couldn’t imagine many ‘frontmen’ being as mature, ever. Fifty years down the track, they are still going strong with new, young fans and totally different generations of young people. Great to see.

Whispering Bob always brings the best out of big names in his interviews, he’s got a great mannerism very easy going, same can be said of Jagger always respectful to his interviewers.

Mick was spot on- multiple generations love the Stones.

50 years later after this interview, The Rolling Stones still are the best rock n roll band in the world. With a number one album in many countries!

Whispering Bob was always so polite and unthreatening.

At 2:42 almost like he laughs at mick because he can tell how gone he is.
Mick is like that one intellegent friend who's also a stoner you cant help laughing at how baked he is,
but at the same time hes so articulate and smart

Bob really got a phenomenal interview out of Mick Jagger, and it's simply freaking amazing 🎉🎉

MJ is an original genius. Lennon, McCartney, Bowie, Bolan, Dylan and Townsend are rightly recognised as great songwriters or poets but MJ is often seen as merely a star performer. He's all that totally but also a truly great songwriter too. He's like Nijinsky or Valentino. Amazing man. Good to see BH too

A pint, a cigarette, super stardom, dreamland.

[grahamdrummond]

Mick if you read this hello from Detroit🎉. I’m glad you’re doing well and healthy. Thank you for all the music. ❤

Hey Mr Jagger, I’ve always liked Dancin with Mr D too! In 1973 even way back then, they had to ask him about this being the last tour. lol

even the stoven at the back is green like the shimmering glimmer suit from Mick :-)

Probably, this is what "dressed to kill" looks like. =)

I like to check-in: see what the Prince of Darkness has to say from time to time. I figure it doesn't change too much over the ages.
