THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
On this day in 1981, The Rolling Stones single “Waiting on a Friend” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #70 (December 5)
Interestingly, despite being released on their 1981 album “Tattoo You”, the recording of "Waiting on a Friend" (as 'Waiting for a Friend') began in late 1972 through early 1973 in Kingston, Jamaica, during the “Goats Head Soup” sessions when the band still had Mick Taylor as a member, but he doesn’t play on the official released version.
In the liner notes to 1993's compilation album Jump Back, Mick Jagger said, "We all liked it at the time but it didn't have any lyrics, so there we were... The lyric I added is very gentle and loving, about friendships in the band."
The cruisy ballad became a radio staple, peaking at #10 in Canada, #13 in the US, #15 in Belgium, #17 in the Netherlands, and #44 in Australia.
The video, shot on 2 July 1981, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, became very popular on MTV.
Matching the song's lyrics, Mick Jagger is seen waiting for Keith Richards in the doorway of an apartment block at 96–98 St. Mark's Place in Manhattan, which is the same apartment that appeared on the cover of Led Zeppelin's 1975 album Physical Graffiti.
