One of my favorite Stones recordings of all time. Too little known and too hard to reproduce onstage. Without the proper band & vocal dynamics as captured on record, it wouldn't sound as good.

Quotesonomastone They are trying to keep its length down and have it sound more like the record. Exactly. And that's the way they've been doing it since '89.

Quoteryanpow in 89 there were too many keyboards, guitars were too low in the mix, but their chops were better. and yeah, bill was still there. Exactly my take. Plus rhythmically they were stiff. When Wyman made his remark about the Stones sounding like they're playing to "click tracks", to me that's what I hear in '89, and less so in 94, and looser still afterwards - though the cho

It was played four times. Philly, Chicago, Boulder and Oakland. It was the last song for the last three concerts. In Philly it was between the last Some Girls tune, Shattered, and Sweet Little Sixteen.

Quotevermontoffender The whining here is incredible. The Stones are touring in 2013. Mick Taylor is joining them onstage for a few numbers throughout the tour. Hell, he even played with them at the warm-up gig! I'm nothing resembling a Taylor fan, but the fact that so many IORRs still feel the need to complain at this point is astounding. What is wrong with you? Seriously....take the time f

• 1981 was their best tour (OK, maybe not the first gigs) • Mick Taylor onstage with them now ruins the sound (Midnight Rambler), and I'd rather he wasn't there • Bridges to Babylon and Bigger Bang are much better than Goats Head Soup and IORR (in fact, last three albums are way better than the mid-70s trilogy) • Dirty Work is flawed but still very good • Goats Head Soup is mostly
