"Midnight Rambler" is a song by British rock band the Rolling Stones, released on their 1969 album Let It Bleed. The lyrics take the point of view of a roaming rapist/murderer; some of the words are reportedly quotes from Albert DeSalvo's confession to the Boston Strangler's crimes. Keith Richards has called the number "a blues opera". On the composing of the song, Mick Jagger said in a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone, "That's a song Keith and I really wrote together.

  • "Midnight Rambler" is a song by British rock band the Rolling Stones, released on their 1969 album Let It Bleed. The lyrics take the point of view of a roaming rapist/murderer; some of the words are reportedly quotes from Albert DeSalvo's confession to the Boston Strangler's crimes. Keith Richards has called the number "a blues opera". On the composing of the song, Mick Jagger said in a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone, "That's a song Keith and I really wrote together. We were on a holiday in Italy. In this very beautiful hill town, Positano, for a few nights. Why we should write such a dark song in this beautiful, sunny place, I really don't know. We wrote everything there -- the tempo changes, everything. And I'm playing the harmonica in these little cafes, and there's Keith with the guitar. " When asked about the song in a 1971 interview with Rolling Stone, Richards said: "Usually when you write, you just kick Mick off on something and let him fly on it, just let it roll out and listen to it and start to pick up on certain words that are coming through, and it's built up on that. A lot of people still complain they can't hear the voice properly. If the words come through its fine, if they don't, that's all right too, because anyway that can mean a thousand different things to anybody. " The studio version of the track (which runs six minutes and fifty-three seconds) was recorded in early 1969 at London's Olympic Sound Studios. Jagger performs vocals and harmonica, while Richards plays all the guitars on the track, using standard tuning for the main guitars and open-E tuning for the slide. Bill Wyman plays bass and Charlie Watts drums; multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones is credited on percussion, but is inaudible on the released version. The Rolling Stones debuted "Midnight Rambler" on stage on 5 July 1969 and performed it regularly in concert through 1976; performances frequently included Jagger crawling around and lashing the stage with his belt. One notable 1969 performance (running just over nine minutes) was captured for the 1970 album Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! and was re-released on the 1971 compilation album Hot Rocks. This rendition features guitarist Mick Taylor in addition to Jagger, Richards, Wyman and Watts, while versions from 1975 onward feature Ronnie Wood instead of Taylor. "Midnight Rambler" returned to the Stones' stage repertoire in 1989 and has remained a powerful concert favourite ever since. The rendition featured in the Stones' 2003 concert film Four Flicks runs about twelve minutes.
  • Midnight Rambler est une chanson des Rolling Stones, parue en 1969 sur l'album Let It Bleed. Cette chanson peut, selon les interprétations, être vue telle une évocation à Albert DeSalvo ou un clin d'œil au diable, bien que cette seconde supposition soit plus incertaine. Ce morceau va devenir dès sa sortie un incontournable de l'album Let It Bleed et des concerts des Stones, notamment concernant son rythme très blues (ralentissant et accélérant sans cesse en live) et l'apparition de l'harmonica.
