East Side in lower Manhattan, 1981. Mood and vid is really chill. Keef and Mick meet and then just hanging out. Once upon a time before cell phones and rushing all over, we all used to do just that. (Lower Manhattan was pretty much this same vibe for a long time.) A well-toasted Keef and Mick wind up in a nearby bar where the rest of the band are..."waiting" for their friends.
'POP-UP Videos' were a cool thing created by VH-1. "Info-Bubbles" pop up during the tune on band/video trivia.
Love the haunting, breezy sax. Back in the early 1980s, sax was used quite a bit. Till it wasn't, replaced by techno-synth. Very under-rated track by the Stones.
The video got me wondering if NYC is perpetually grimy by law, or is that just a tradition? What a shithole.
When I used to go there on business once in a blue moon, I could last about two days before the shittiness, noise, traffic and stench overwhelmed my favorite restaurants and I had to get the hell out and back to the world.

But...grime and filth is the charm of the lower East Side X-P
Given that, it was preferable it over the "gentrification," aka homo-paradise places like this become.

Yeah nice place to visit...for a few hours; It gave you perspective. Amazing how the locals could get used to wave after wave of urine, BO, and trash, and 360 degrees of dreariness, noise, and bohemians.
