Soon in their eighties, the Rolling Stones do not seem to stop.
After going back on stage Monday evening to prepare for their imminent tour, they unveiled on Wednesday the clip of a previously unseen song:
Living In The Heart Of Love.
A new bonus track from the reissue of their album
Tattoo You
, released in 1981, which they are celebrating 40 years.
Released twenty years after their formation, this 18th album marked at the time a comeback in great form for the formation of the London suburbs.
Carried by the enormous tube
Start Me Up
, the album reached the first place of the charts in many countries, and in particular in France.
Forty years later,
Living In The Heart Of Love
- their first title in a year and a half and the release of
Livin 'In A Ghost Town -
sounds like a pure Rolling Stones.
Not surprising when we know that it was recorded on the sidelines of the album sessions in 1981, in a Parisian studio.
A tribute to Charlie and to Paris
The black and white clip, directed by Frenchman Charles Mehling, is mostly shot in eastern Paris.
We follow two lovers on a night out, between crowded terraces and underground club.
A true testament to the band's eternal aura, the only images of the Stones, from the
Tattoo You
era
, are shown on the screens of the computers of young revelers.
The video is also loaded with images of Charlie Watts.
The clip ends with the rooftops of Paris and a view of Montmartre, with the inscription “
Charlie is my darling
”.
To warm up before the start of their tour which begins Sunday in St. Louis, the band members returned to the stage for an intimate concert near Boston.
An evening during which they paid a touching tribute to their late drummer, and offered a baptism of fire to their new metronome Steve Jordan.
