I always thought what the band played on the '69 tour interesting. [...] Perhaps because it was my first Stones concert...

I would fly to the other side of the world just to watch them play midnight rambler,I get an electric charge coming up through my body every time I go and see them play.
You can't beat it.

I'm with you on that one Nate!
Unfortunately, in my case, money becomes an issue.
I was lucky enough to catch them twice on the ZipCode, and
they were simply awesome, surprisingly so....Keith is much
improved since his "headache", and Mick is always great...
the others are very dedicated as well. IF, they do announce
some more dates in the USA, I will try as hard as I can to catch one,
Palm Springs is over me head...so to speak.Quote

My first pick here would be Paint It Black; the studio version just came on and I realized how much I like it more than most live versions. Somehow it loses something onstage, although they did it pretty good in 1989. It needs the electric rhythm guitar you hear in the right channel of the studio version and neither Keith nor Ronnie bothers to do it live. Start Me Up is another one. It needs that crisp guitar sound that often sounds weaker live. Just my opinion....There's a boatload of songs where I feel there are live versions far superior to the studio ones....like SFTD from Ya Ya's!
Gimme Shelter seems hard to duplicate live as well...and Miss You is better from the studio.

i'm going to say something heretical here...satisfaction doesn't work live, or at least, doesn't sound anywhere near as good as the original.
for some reason, they feel the need to channel otis redding on this, which is fine, it's a great version, but their version is superior so for the love of god play the better version!
