I like this song, but prefer the "Sticky Fingers" original.

hmm.. that's exactly opposite my rhinking... I've always thought anything after '79 was bad... And I'm 17 right now. The truth is, when you listen to music of a certain era or genre, you are never exposed to enough other music to find other stuff you like. It's only been since I discovered Rp that I've found newer music I like.

That's one of the most ignorant statements I've ever seen. I'm 23 as of this post, and I happen to absolutely love music by the Beatles, Yes, ELP, Kansas, Ray Charles, Jimi Hendrix, Three Dog Night, etc... That's not to mention all the Jazz, classical, et al. from ages past. Just because someone states his personal opinion about a band doesn't mean you need to make a rediculously unfounded, narrow-minded statement about an entire age group. Sounds like you're the one who needs to finish growing up anyway.

Yeah that was fun! One of my favorites from that band, The uh..Rolling something or others. The version from Big Lebowski was Townes Van Zandt I believe.
Posted 19 years ago by BKardon    [ Reply ]
Sorry but this song isn't THAT bad. And I'm not even a Stones fan. I only HOPE I can pursue my passion (like they do) when I'm their age!

What version of this song was in the Big Lebowski? Anyone?

Play a different Stones song.... and play Dead Flowers done by someone else!

The Cowboy Junkies version is much better.

ok, maybe they shoulda capo'd up a fret or two, but all these shotgun barbs? i hope when i'm mick's age, my fans will cut me some slack. (wait a minute ... fans?)

Don't understand all the negative comments for this. I think it's just the guys having a little fun putting a twist on one of their songs in front of a live audience. What's wrong with that? Jeez, lighten up.

I like the studio version MUCH better. Something about the vocals that lowers this to a 5. :-k
Posted 20 years ago by Al_Koholic    [ Reply ]
Ain't it a shame what happens when a band stays too long. I love the song - so it gets a decent rating - but most cover bands can do better.

In Mick's own words "What a drag it is getting old."
Posted 20 years ago by jbtidwell    [ Reply ]
The Cowboy Junkies do this song well. I'm still having trouble dealing with the whacky country accents here. Hopefully I'll get used to it some day.

This song is what happens when you're rich and no one cares if you can't stay closer than a light year to the actual notes...
Posted 20 years ago by diane    [ Reply ]
Whoever was on the mixing board should be shot. I think there are some vocals back in there somewhere.
Posted 20 years ago by Art_Carnage    [ Reply ]
I agree Townes Van Zandt's version is better. But I don't believe this version is a 1. I just wish the Stones were still making relevant music. Some of Mick's stuff in the last few years has been ok. And live Kieth still brings it, but in general these days a Stones concert doesn't offer much more than a greatest hits review.

This live recording helps you to understand how and why a band can continue to rock long after they're in full dentures. They are real musicians, playing together, not just "doing a song."
Your're right buddy !! The Stones rocks !!!

Wow. I wanted to write something about this song as the quintessence of oneness, but you've already expressed it far better than I!

This is a great album, and great video that went with it. These guys are ancient, but you watch Keith play his guitar, you see a man in love. I'm not a real Stones fan, but I love this album. Wish I'd seen the tour.

Dunno, sure sounds like Mick is channeling Gram Parsons.

If this is one of the best Stones songs, I must not like the stones!

Ugh. I hate it when Mick tries to do the southern accent bit. It just points out his own twang mixed with some contrived 'how i should sound' inflection makes him sounds like a total idiot. It's worse that he's got someone singing backup with him, who isn't even in the same key. :p
Posted 21 years ago by shayde    [ Reply ]
BARF! Love this song, just don\'t like this version. Sounds rushed and a hollow copy of themselves. Wish RP would play the original. I\'ve heard garage bands do a better cover than this self-cover...

great song. you should follow this up with some son volt, jay farrar\'s voice is very reminiscent of mick\'s on this song.

This is just horrible. I didn\'t realize it was the Stones, and now I\'m embarrassed for them.

Yet another Stones song that I had forgotten about...and still like.
Posted 21 years ago by BC_Night_Heron    [ Reply ]
One of my all time favorites from the Stones. This version is just as outstanding as the original. Steve Earle does an interesting version as well.

You're probably right. Ron Wood fits in better as a pal and rhythm guitar counterpart for Keith, but I got the best memories of the Stones when Mick Taylor played with them. His fluid, smooth and Keith' raw, basic style of playing, often produced a very exciting contrast. He hasn't done much notable since he left the Stones, though.
