"She's a Rainbow" is a song by the English rock 'n roll band The Rolling Stones and was featured on their 1967 album Their Satanic Majesties Request.

Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "She's a Rainbow" was recorded on 18 May 1967. It is most famous for its vibrant piano by Nicky Hopkins, Brian Jones' use of the mellotron, and its rich lyricism by Jagger.|}

John Paul Jones, later of Led Zeppelin, arranged the strings of this song during his session days. Despite rumours, none of The Beatles performs on this track. Backing vocals were by Jagger and Richards.

The lyrics in the chorus share the phrase "she comes in colours" with the song of that title by Love released in December 1966.

The song uses humorous devices such as when the strings play out of tune and off key towards the end of the song. Also, the rest of the Stones are singing their "La La's" like little children. The song ends on an unusual sour electric guitar chord.

This is the BEST source footage available of this amazing bad brains pro-shot. Bad Brains Florida NCTV 03/20/1987 Spring Break This upgrade came from a fellow AZ taper and good freind of Yahoo! Serious "Bubzdaddy" who worked for a TV station back in the late 80's. Bubba tells me that this is as good as this gets without the discovery of the Broadcast Master beta.His lineage is recorded from master to SVHS. I cant tell if this is the god honest truth but the picture quallity and color/definition of this SVHS tape speaks Volumes. Hands down the best recording in known existance. There are some tape drops from age that were unavoidable without a full frame TBC of whick neither Bubba or I had access to. This is an upgrade to the Yahoo! Serious Collection Volumes that were previously seeded in 2006. Just look at the definition and clairity of the crowd shots and you will see that all faces are fully recognisable. This and I should mention that you can now count the hairs on HR's eyebrows in the closeups. Setlist: 1. Intro / 0:00 - 1:16 2. I / 1:16 - 3:30 3. House of Suffering / 3:30 - 5:34 4.

This are the first 20 seconds of "She's a rainbow" written by The Rolling Stones. It is the most beautiful piano based song from the Stones in my opinion. I did it by watching the video from "tolctouyou" for more than 50 times. She is a so much better piano player than i am. So sorry for my poor keyboard performance but its better than nothing ;-) I hope i can do the next step with a little support by her :-)
