\"stones<\/a>By Bob Berry<\/p>\n

It was 50 years ago today, August 21, 1965 and the Rolling Stones were Number One the the album “Out Of Our Heads<\/strong><\/a>“.<\/p>\n

And you could just about see it coming. Released on July 30th, “Out Of Our Heads”, was powered by two songs which are among the band’s greatest, each released as a single and perfectly timed to keep the album on the charts for a total of 66 weeks.<\/p>\n

The first was “The Last Time”,\u00a0 a personal favorite. Released in March 1965,\u00a0 “The Last Time” reached #9 on the charts. Rarely played live for nearly 30 years, when The Stones “revived” it for the Bridges to Babylon<\/strong><\/em><\/a> tour, it brought down the house.<\/p>\n

The second song was “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”, it marked the true full flowering of the Jagger-Richards writing partnership. Released in June, ’65, it was the band’s first #1 song, and one which has never left their live repertoire.<\/p>\n

Here are live performances of both songs. “Satisfaction” recorded in 1965 for the “Charlie Is My Darling<\/strong><\/a>” documentary and “The Last Time”, recorded in 2012 at Madison Square Garden. It’s cell phone video of reasonably high quality, and a testament to the power of “The World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band”<\/p>\n
