MT- TVC15's video: Bowie backs The Rolling Stones It s Only Rock N Roll Outtake Demo 73

From the Pro CDr of The deluxe unofficial Double album Run Piper Run recently released on the Casino label full details included in video slideshow pictures A straightforward celebration of rock 'n' roll, Faces guitarist Ron Wood, who had not yet joined The Rolling Stones, had a big part in it. Wood lived in a London estate called The Wick, which Pete Townshend later bought. It was there that Wood put the song together at a session with Mick Jagger on vocals, David Bowie singing background, the session player Willie Weeks on bass, and Wood's Faces bandmate, Kenney Jones, on drums. When Keith Richards got a hold of the recording, he put his own guitar parts on, but left some of Wood's 12-string. Jones, Weeks and Bowie remained on the final product. This was the title track to the first album after producer Jimmy Miller left the band. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards did the production work. This marked the first time Ron Wood contributed to a Stones song, although the official songwriting credit went to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, per custom. Wood joined the band in 1975. Lyrically, this drew inspiration from David Bowie's 1972 Ziggy Stardust track "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide." When Mick Jagger sings, "If I could stick a knife in my heart, suicide right on stage," he's likely referencing glam rockers like Marc Bolan and Alice Cooper who did a suicide bit as part of their stage theatrics. Mick Jagger sang this with Tina Turner on the Philadelphia stage of Live Aid in 1985. After singing "State Of Shock" with Turner, they launched into "It's Only Rock 'N' Roll" and Jagger started disrobing. Both performers left the stage, and when they came back, Jagger was fully clothes and Turner was wearing a tearaway skirt that Jagger ripped off (Janet Jackson and Justing Timberlake tried something similar when performing at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show, resulting in the infamous "Wardrobe Malfunction"). Live Aid was Jagger's first live performance as a solo artist.
