Why don't they play Fool to Cry?
Date: May 31, 2007 17:08

It seems to have all the ingredients which would make it playable in concert: it was a hit (featured on 40 licks, after all), a mellow vibe, and the possibility of backup vox. Perhaps Mick can no longer hit the notes? (But he DID pull off Worried About You quite convincingly recently.) Hmm . . . I'm not sure. But I do know I'd LOVE to hear it this summer!

Not that I'll "cry" if I don't - just a suggestion . . .

ITS NOT A VERY GOOD SONG to play live...i think the fans would just run to take a piss break...i like the studio version...but just don't think they could pull it off...i'd rather see them do HAND OF FATE...its a rock n roll show...
why don't they try a fast version of HOT STUFF?

>> a strain on Mick's voice <<

and on Keith's alertness (this is the one he fell asleep during, in 76)

as mentioned above, it has all the hallmarks of a piss-break song,
in todays RS 'not just a concert' experience.

LOL,
Yeah, if folks thought Keith was a little unanimated or kind of out of it for some dates last year...they should have seen him in '76.

They do play it on occasion; I saw a marvelous performance of it back in '98.

Not that many BEE GEE'S fans go to Stones shows Nikkibong (that's why they never do EMOTIONAL RESCUE either)
