the rolling stones have played "jumpin' jack flash" during every tour since its release. it ranks as the song the band has played in concert most frequently, and has appeared on the concert albums "get yer ya-ya's out!" (recorded 1969, released 1970), "love you live" (recorded 1976, released 1977), "flashpoint" (recorded 1990, released 1991), "shine a light" (recorded 2006, released 2008), "hyde park live" (2013), "totally stripped" (recorded 1995, released 2016), and "" (2016), as well as, notably, "the rolling stones rock and roll circus" (recorded 1968, released 1996), featuring the only released live performance of the song with brian jones. unlike most of that show, jones is heard clearly, mixing with richards's lead throughout the song. the intro is not usually played in concert and instead the song begins with the main riff. the open e or open d tuning of the rhythm guitar on the studio recording has also not been replicated in concert (with the possible exception of the 1968 nme awards show, no recording of which has ever surfaced). in the performance filmed for "the rolling stones rock and roll circus" in december 1968, richards used standard tuning; and ever since the band's appearance at hyde park on 5 july 1969, he has played it in open g tuning with a capo on the fourth fret. richards is particularly fond of the song's main riff, often crediting it as his favorite among all of his most revered guitar riffs.
