They rehearsed the shit out of this dandy in Toronto.... yet it still hasnt made its debut on the tour..... |

Doubt they'll play it
Mick's probably too afraid to try it as he most likely thinks its an obscure song and no one would know it - after all, it was only the 3rd single from an album that sold about 8 millon copies |
|
|
| Saint Sway |
you're right. But it would be fitting if they played it in London. |
|
|
| Gazza |
are you trying to suggest that we're all lazy bastards over here and nothing works or ever gets done??
I strongly resent....oh wait, you're fucking right
Do carry on. |

I agree with Saint Sway. I was thinking this same question to myself the other day. The Rolling Stone mag article about them rehearsing before the tour begins with how they were rehearsing this song, emphasizing that it hadn't been played live since '82. Hopefully it doesn't remain that way.

It will substitute for She's So Cold, if the haven't forgotten about it, or decide to play it safe. |

Hope they don't play it at all. The worst song of Tattoo You.
My suggestion: Slave.

No way is Hang Fire the worst song on TY. Both Heaven and NYIC are worse, although they both contribute to side two being among the best 20 minutes of music to shag to in history.
I agree Slave would be better. HF sounded too much like Whip on stage back in 81-82. |

Remind me again how many Top 40 singles were left off "40 Licks"? |

Think you missed my sarcasm
A few actually. I can even think of a classic number one that was omitted - probably because they didnt write it and it would have deprived the poor dears from some songwriting royalties |

I got the sarcasm - and was trying to add to it 
I was just pointing out that, why should we be surprised that they'd ignore a relative hit like "Hang Fire" when they omitted quite a few from their "definitive" anthology? |

Hang Fire is a better song then She's So Cold. So it would definetly be an improvement. They need to relax with She's So Cold.. it's such a laid back song on the album. They play it so fucking agressive on stage.. it's too loud. |

About 25-30 singles, including #1 singles (Little Red Rooster) and many top 10's (Time Is on My Side, As Tears Go By, We Love You, Harlem Shuffle). |

Hang Fire? would be welcome, but i can think of at least ten other songs i would rather hear, including She's So Cold |

At least they played SSC many times this tour. I think that Hang Fire is not easy to do, they got troubles rehearsing it if you see the Rolling Stone interview from last year. |

yes, its got an odd chord structure, but no harder than say Heartbreaker IMO, which wasn't particulary 'butchered' on Licks, again IMHO |

They left *off* 25-30 Top 40 singles? That's pretty damn astonishing when you think about it. I guess it makes sense when you consider all the 90s stuff and the four new ones didn't make Top 40 at all... |

She's So Cold has been fucking great on this tour. I would love to hear some other chestnuts from that era, including Hang Fire. |

The 1981-82 version was just a noisy thrash. as was Shes so Cold, which is much better THIS tour |

If you want to hear Hang Fire live check out one of the 30 soundboards we have of the 1981 tour. The Stones will never ever sound again like this. And frankly, as fine as it is to hope on some forgotten songs, the way the Stones play this tour it all is one big dissapointment. We've been waiting for Sway since 1971, and every version on this tour just sounds plain horrible. I would even go as far as to say: stick to the warhorses, and don't spoil the brilliance of many original versions. The Stones have become a Vegas band, enjoy the as they are, but I am not hoping on any old forgotten songs. Please leave these songs alone.
