Can't believe they brought back this one after all these years. Took 'em long enough! Tell me more, those who were there. How was it? How was Keith/Ronnie? Were Lisa and company a part of it?
I know this tune was probably discussed in the larger thread for the boston show, but I think this unexpected break-out warrants its own thread.
Suddenly I want to attend shows this fall after all... |

It was a trip. Too bad they still couldn't play it (horns and all). Keith barely hit a note on his Tele during it.
But I'm not complaining. I loved it.
I was shocked to hear the raw opening riff. A coincidence since I had been watching the '81 live on http://youtube.com/watch?v=R7DeQvPzzNE&mode=related&search=

I have to say thta this was my only disappointment during an otherwise FABULOUS show. The horns knocked me for a loop. I know 1981 was 25 years ago & the memory fades but I didn't recall horns the first time around. Ay yi yi! |

Horns on T&A? Ouch. Totally in appropriate. The song should be nasty and raw guitars only. Bum notes/words are actually ok. Remember the 81/82 tour? Some of the sloppiest singing and playing ever, esp. Keith's numbers. So it's no biggie to me if he's sloppy now, as long as he plays his axe (and that might be questionable from what some have said). |

Keith is really bad...probably using horns for lead guitar breaks..

In 1981, Keith only sang the one song. It was much more entertaining back then. The horns didn't just intrude; they took over the joint! |

I didn't care for the horns either, but it was great to see Keith do the song. He took a step out of the comfort zone which is a step in the right direction.
JB, Keith can most certainly still rock unless that was Ronnie playing both guitars on Midnight Rambler. |

His set has been greatly diminished the last few years..the dropping/leaning on the guitar, the lack of the total emasculation of "Happy", and the horrific ballads that cause even the most die hard fans to cringe w/embarrassment...... |

How does his hairpiece look? I know he is growing the back and sides out, but is he using coverage for slick/bald crown area? |

Agreed.....Mick's hair is 100% natural as is Ronnies. Charlie went bald early, but he looks the best!!! An impecable dresser!!! |

Charlei aged fastest but did it best! Mick's face looks horrid. Still, I respect him for leaving it untouched. And he's a force of fucking nature! I got chills watching that video of Sway this am. |

This song has been in my top wish list forever. Was really stoked when I saw the set list yesterday. But saddened to hear they smothered it with horns. Fuck! Its Little T&A damn it!!
I like horns with the Stones... when they belong. Case in point: the horns on Exile are brilliant. I Got The Blues etc.. But sometimes on the current live tours the Stones ruin great raw rock songs by smothering them with horn arrangements. Remember when they put horns to Sympathy? That was dreadful.
thankfully I got to see the Wino's do Little T&A and rock it hard. But I am saddened that I will not get to see my favorite band perform one of my favorite rockers the way it should be done.
I've listened to that tune off the 81 boots about a zillion times and have been forever pleading to hear Little T&A in the show. But if they're gonna Vegas horn it up I think I'd rather hear BTMR for the 50th time.
sometimes its better to remember things as they once were and let them lay rather than have them ruined in a new carnation. Like an old crush that you fantasized about but then saw her recently and she was fat and fugly and the image was forever ruined. |

How about on Brown Sugar. First time I've seen him go all the down the catwalk to the b stage area to work the crowd. |

Horns overwhelmed Live With Me in the past but they've been more subdued of late. It's been kicking ass lately. I know Keith will read our posts & kill teh horns on this song. Or else switch to All About You. |

Keith has no input other than his setlist-Mick and Chuck control all-including tempo and covering for weakest link guitarists.................<> |

you are OBSESSED with hair.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn you have paid top $$ to a Private Investigator to get the real truth on the follicle info of the Band.
LOL.
