_ _ _ Rolling Stone's [G] seminal album, Exile on Main Street, was reissued last week.
I sat down with Mick Jagger to talk about it and how the group has managed to remain relevant and on its game for more than four decades.
_ What a special edition of Larry King Live we have for you tonight.
It's the eve of our 25th anniversary.
We started back 25 years ago, a long-running show, [N] feels like forever.
Who's here with us but Mick Jagger?
One of our top requests of all time, he's finally made it.
Today is the day of the release of the Stones' album Exile on Main Street.
Never before heard tracks, this is an amazing release.
At the same time, it coincides with an amazing documentary called Stones in Exile.
We're gonna talk about all those things, show you some little clips.
This is a big re-release, but first, what Frank Sinatra said to me once,
there's a lot to be said for longevity.
Well, you've got no options really, either you're dead or you're longevity.
How do you account for the longevity of the Stones as a success?
Well, I think the Stones are very lucky.
You always need a lot of luck. _
And I think they were in the right place at the right time.
_ And _ we, _ you know, quite, when we work, we work very hard.
So you need all those things.
It's no good just being hard-working, there's a lot of people hard-working.
But you've got to [Ab] be hard-working on your game [N] and be lucky.
How about staying there, though?
Staying there, yeah.
Well, _ _ it requires a certain, you know, tactics.
It's like being a football player or something.
If you're gonna last, you've got to play a bit clever.
When you're young, you can just rush everything.
And then as you get older, you've got to be a bit more boxed, a bit more clever.
I'm gonna change my sporting metaphors.
You know what I mean? _
A lot goes into it.
Yeah, a lot goes into it.
And, you know, if you're gonna do a tour or something, that's a lot of work.
You have _ to pay attention to the big picture.
The big picture has to be right.
The overall has to be right and also the details have to be right.
But don't eliminate the word luck, huh?
No, I'm not eliminating luck.
There's a very big, because we all know, everyone that's been in whatever way of life you're in,
if you get to be very successful, there's usually some point where you just happen to be lucky.
You know, that tips it right over into being kind of okay
and quite successful into tipping it over into being into another point.
And how do you keep it up all the time?
In other words, when you get on that stage, what keeps it going?
What drives it?
What really keeps it going is the audience.
Because if the audience, you know, you feed from the audience and their enthusiasm.
And if you have an enthusiastic audience, you feel that you can give more.
It's like going back to the sporting metaphor.
Any guy, once you feel, you don't feel really, you feel like you have a bad day and you feel you've got a bit of a cold.
But as soon as you go out there, they drive you.
They drive you, you know, and you usually don't have any problems.
But when you started, you didn't have the audience because you were new.
No, that's not real.
We had a little audience.
You know, when we started off playing, we used to play, you know, everyone else.
We used to play small clubs.
But we had a super enthusiastic club audience.
And _ that kind of, that audience really taught us how to behave, how to have, you know, repartee with the audience and so on.
Even from those early days, it's not really that different to the exchange you get with a big audience.
Now let's get into this album, Exile on Main Street.
What the decision to re-release an album?
How did that come about?
Well, we, we, we, there's a record label that bought all our catalog stuff called Universal, they're called.
And they wanted to do something a bit different [Ab] to, to mark this, you know, to put out these albums again.
So they picked Exile as being one of the most famous.
And they said, well, will you, will you kind of do something, you know, will you try and find time to remaster it?
And also, is there any tracks [N] that, that you didn't release at the time?
And can you do something special?
And I said, no, there's no tracks.
There's nothing.
It's all done.
You know, it was a double album.
There's nothing.
But then I went in and I thought, well, I don't know.
No, I really don't know if there is anything.
So I went in and Keith and I looked and I looked with John was a producer and we looked at all these tracks.
And some of them were sent by people that thought they were like stones experts.
And I looked at them and said, this does not sound like Exile.
So some of them were not in the time of Exile at all.
So I had to sort of define the time of what I thought Exile was, because Exile wasn't recorded in a month.
It was recorded over a three year period.
So I took this three year period and found tracks that were recorded in that three year period.
And some of them, the alternate takes, I just left as they are.
And some tracks didn't have any songs on them, any vocals.
Nothing new?
_ New in what way?
New recording for the album.
Yeah, I mean, I did.
Some of them had no vocals on them.
Oh, you added vocals.
They had no song, no vocals, no words, no music, just tracks, which were really good.
Some of the tracks were all done and perfect, except I wasn't on them.
So I thought, well, OK, so I'm going to do my.
So I wrote words and I wrote melodies and sang them on some of them.
[C] Taxes forced Jagger into exile.
We'll talk about his life in France and what it was like to [Fm] be a man without a country.
