Where were you when you first heard Wild Horses - and how did it make you feel?
Here’s the Stones hearing the playback for the very first time at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, December ’69 - after an intense three-day recording session. (Captured in the Gimme Shelter documentary.)
More than fifty years later, the song still resonates with new generations - proof that some songs aren’t just written for the moment…they last forever.

Message from the band:
From being one of our first musical heroes in the bands Skinyard and the mighty Soundgarden, to playing on our first demos in 1990, Matt Cameron has been a singular and true powerhouse of a musician and drummer.
He has propelled the last 27 years of Pearl Jam live shows and studio recordings. It was a deeply important chapter for our group and we wish him well always. He will be deeply missed and is forever our friend in art and music.
We love you Matt.
We love you Matt Cameron. You will be missed. Thank you for your amazing years of service going above and beyond to absolutely annihilate the kit on a nightly basis. This is incredibly sad news, but knowing the band, they’ll come back stronger than ever.
