My favorite track from the Wood Era. A true example of the much-hyped "weaving", (one of the few, really). Everything works here: The sublime guitars, the soulful tempo, Charlie's magical touch on the hi-hat, and one of Mick's greatest vocals. I think because the track is so perfectly balanced, it has never been played as well live, often sounding rushed or sloppy.

Agree, but I think they're pretty close here, although Jagger is growling about in places.

Has Jagger turning into growling something to do with punk music? In 1977-78 punk was big and you can see a lot of punk influences in the 77-78 version of the Stones. Maybe punk destroyed Jagger's voice in the long run?

Great version. Is this the one on the upcoming official DVD release?

I've noticed that, in Northern California at least, this is one of the most-played songs on the radio by the Stones. It's shown a great deal of endurance, I suppose the main reason they don't play it more live is they realize that they don't do it well live (as many posters note above).

chawlie's drumming is the key to the song - and for some reason the drum style reminds me of ringo's in "in my life."
....
I agree, on the studio version charlies drumming is one of the best parts of this song.

Was one of major songs on the Some Girl album, and played a lot on radio back in the day (after initial release). I love the guitars and vocals on it and it seems Mick and Keith worked together on this one to ensure it got played a lot on radio.
Nowadays a rarity on radio today, and perhaps hasn't aged well (not helped by a Bette Midler and Mick Jagger duet version for MTV a few years ago),

funny how radio play varies by geography. in northern california i'd say it is one of their top 3 most played songs over the past 5 years.

It's about the only acceptable song on Some Girls, though the "pretty, pretty girl" passages are weak and childish.
