Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, the Rolling Stones started out playing covers and were at the forefront of the British Invasion in 1964, becoming identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s. They then found greater success with their own material, as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965), "Get Off of My Cloud" (1965), and "Paint It Black" (1966) became international number-one hits. Aftermath (1966) – their first entirely original album – is considered by The Daily Telegraph to be the most important of their formative records. In 1967, they had the double-sided hit "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend the Night Together" and experimented with psychedelic rock on Their Satanic Majesties Request. They returned to their rhythm and blues roots with hit songs such as "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (1968) and "Honky Tonk Women" (1969), and albums such as Beggars Banquet (1968), featuring "Sympathy for the Devil", and Let It Bleed (1969), featuring "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Gimme Shelter". Let It Bleed was the first of five consecutive number-one albums in the UK.
Jones left the band shortly before his death in 1969, having been replaced by guitarist Mick Taylor. That year they were first introduced on stage as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World". Sticky Fingers (1971), which yielded "Brown Sugar" and included the first usage of their tongue and lips logo, was their first of eight consecutive number-one studio albums in the US. Exile on Main St. (1972), featuring "Tumbling Dice", and Goats Head Soup (1973), yielding the hit ballad "Angie", were also best sellers. Taylor was replaced by Ron Wood in 1974. The band continued to release successful albums, including their two largest sellers: Some Girls (1978), featuring "Miss You", and Tattoo You (1981), featuring "Start Me Up". Steel Wheels (1989) was widely considered a comeback album and was followed by Voodoo Lounge (1994), a worldwide number-one album. Both releases were promoted by large stadium and arena tours, as the Stones continued to be a huge concert attraction; by 2007 they had recorded the all-time highest-grossing concert tour three times, and as recently as 2021 they were the highest-earning live act of the year. From Wyman's departure in 1993 to Watts' death in 2021, the band continued as a four-piece core, with Darryl Jones playing bass on tour and on most studio recordings, while Steve Jordan became their touring drummer following Watts' death. Their 2016 album, Blue & Lonesome, became their twelfth UK number-one album.
The Rolling Stones' estimated record sales of 200 million make them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The band has won three Grammy Awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Billboard magazine and Rolling Stone have ranked the band as one of the greatest of all time.

For my money, this tune done live by the Stones in 64 & 65 is their best live song ever. It captures their essence. I’m not dissing other great live tunes like Gimmie Shelter in early 70s with Mick Taylor. But this one is pure rock n roll in less than 3 minutes. Very punk rock. If this period didn’t happen there’s be no stooges, ramones, clash, etc
@thechordwizard8429
Well, the Kinks played a part in that as well ofcourse, but the Stones certainly influenced the punk rock too.

There's an almost lost little known story about this track. The actual origins of the song, "I'm Alright" go back to 1959, when it was written by Sam Cooke and Little Anthony. It was recorded by Little Anthony and the Imperials in 1959. Then, during July 5 - 6, 1963 performances, Bo Diddley recorded the song live for his Bo Diddley's Beach Party album, released January 1964. The Rolling Stones incorporated Bo Diddley's version into their live performances. With the Rolling Stones' live performance arrangement, the group would play the song as a jam piece, and had worked out for the song a basic structure of the start, middle, and ending parts for each band member, with the main body of the tune following a Gospel type of structure, complete with call-and-response sections. Just as they had based much of the songs main arrangement on Bo Diddley's Beach Party album version, the Rolling Stones also based the ending of their arrangement on Bo's shave-and-a-haircut-two-bits motif ending used on his Beach Party album. Having heavily reworked the song's arrangement, the Rolling Stones credited the song's writing to Nanker Phelge, an alternate song writing credit, they sometimes used to credit themselves. Even though each band member's instrumental part was performed pretty consistently from concert to concert, Mick Jagger's vocal performance for each concert had the most improvisational latitude, but loosely followed a composed structure. From trying out different ideas over successive performances, the best ones jelled, and the tune was maturing. Then at one particular Rolling Stones concert in Liverpool, the band just nailed the song, in one of their greatest live performances ever (unclear if June 11, 1965 was the concert performance date, or the recording's release date). It was the original Rolling Stones at their finest! We are so fortunate that it was captured on tape!

@deeg8849
Can't say what song the Stones did live the best in the Woody or Mick Taylor years, but this tune hands down is the best live tune in the early Brian Jones years.
