"Live With Me" is a song by rock and roll band the Rolling Stones off of their 1969 album Let It Bleed. Along with "Country Honk," this was one of two songs guitarist Mick Taylor played on while auditioning for the band.
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Live With Me" was recorded on May 24, 1969. It marks the first time the Stones would record with Bobby Keys, he contributing the extended saxophone solo near the middle of the song that would beocme a hallmark of future Stones releases. Leon Russell and Nicky Hopkins both contributed piano to the piece. It is said that the song's rather lewd lyrics were the reason why the London Bach Choir asked not to be credited for their contribution to "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
Although it was never released as a single, it is a popular live staple, appearing on the live albums Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! and No Security.
