The Rolling Stones have been around for a very, very long time. 50 years and change at this point actually. More than most other bands, the Stones have done a specular job of curating their history, whether through archival releases, or traveling museums. In December, the group plans on giving their fans another glimpse into their past with a brand new collection of live cuts dubbed On Air.

To help build some buzz, today, the band decided to share an early rendition of their biggest hit, “Satisfaction.” The performance is taken from an appearance the band made on September 18th, 1965, for the Saturday Club program on the BBC, only a few months after the song first hit the airwaves. The band gamely run through their new cut with an impressive amount of verve. Keith Richards must have set his guitar fuzz pedal to max during this gig, and as result there’s a delightful, ragged quality to the song that has been perhaps, sanded down in subsequent decades.

On Air is set to hit a record store or streaming service near you on December 1. You can check out the Rolling Stones’ early performance of “Satisfaction” in the video above, and preview the full tracklist of their new record below.
