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.
Aaah, the good ol' days....
