Hi everyone! This is my cover of the Rolling Stones' song, "19th Nervous Breakdown"...more specifically, their live arrangement, which they played on the 1965 Ed Sullivan show. I personally like this arrangement better, because it has an extended intro, more interesting breaks, it's more raw, and has a non-fadeout ending. Overall, I think it's more dynamic than the studio version...unfortunately, YouTube has taken down all the videos of the 1965 Ed Sullivan performance, so you'll have to seek it elsewhere.

My goal for this one was the same as my last Stones cover ("The Last Time"), which got a good response. Basically, I think the Stones songs sound best raw and unpolished. This one has no overdubs, it's just exactly what would've been played live - two guitars, one bass, drums, and two vocals. I tried to capture the "first take" energy of this live performance.

Let me just say, this song is RIDICULOUSLY fun to play. This is a great example of the Rolling Stones' signature "weaving guitars" sound. Keith's part is a great rhythm, with some cool fills along the way. Brian's part is a hypnotic riff that he took directly from Bo Diddley's song, "Diddley Daddy." Bill Wyman's bass part is also ridiculous in the way he played it. Instead of playing lower on the neck, this bass line goes all the way up to the 12th fret, along with some crazy divebombing during the outro.

Anyways, I hope you like it! I apologize if the video is slightly out of sync. This one was a huge file on my Windows Movie Maker, being 4+ minutes long and consisting of several cuts of HD footage, so I was having problems rendering it. There's actually a video glitch in the middle that I couldn't get rid of. Thanks again for watching!
