The Continental Drift intro on the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tour was the best intro on any Stones show ever.

In my opinion, one of the best things theyve ever done, and by some distance the best song theyve put out since 1981.

Fcuk Gazza, steady on old boy. But great to hear your enthusiasm. Makes me think about how The Stones used to change their styles every few albums until hmm, the end of the 80s. Since then its been four to floor stuff.
Rolling Stones 1st to Out Of Our Heads - R'n'B
Aftermath - American styled pop
Between The Buttons - English styled pop
Their Satanic Majesty's - Psychedelia
Beggars Banquet - The Band/Bob Dylan inspired country rock'n'roll with a few notable exceptions
Let It Bleed to Exile - Best rock the world has ever heard
Goats Head Soup abd It's Only Rock'n'Roll - Glam inspired rock
Black And Blue - Er, black, blues and reggae
Some Girls to Emotional Rescue - Punk inspired rock
Tattoo You - Inspired mish mash of leftovers and decent rock songs
Undercover to present - four to the floor stadium rock

Mixed emotions.
The sound is not good. I would have left Clifford and all keyboards in general out of the project (and not only from this track): a more acoustic production would have suited the Masters better. Also the vocals are too prominent, esp. Jagger's. A "I just want to see his face" style would have been way better.
The melody and rhythm are absolutely great, though. I wonder who actually composed this track, where did it start from.

Great track and really held out the promise of Steel Wheels being a more adventuresome disc...which sadly did not pan out. But Continental Drift is an exhilirating and exciting track with some great vibes and cool lyrics. Love it!
