It would have been the perfect first song of the encore section!

Just about all of my favorite songs off of ABB never got played once and its a shame cause they'd all be great on stage. Didn't Keith say the new songs were made to be played live on stage... Anyway any of these would have been great to play..

Let Me Down Slow
Laugh, I nearly Died
Dangerous Beauty
Look What the Cat Dragged In

Back of my Hand was great live, too bad it was dropped so quickly from the set.

this is my favorite stones song from the band in quite sometime, absolutely love it. but i really don't think it could work live. i think the magic of the song was captured in the studio... and it just wouldn't translate.

however... i would gladly watch the band perform it live, especially in a small club.

It would sound great live...and much more fresh than some of the material like Miss You.

On most tours, the 'new' material they play, going all the way back as far as I have seen them or listened to them in the 70s, is the best stuff performed material live.

Loved the Some Girls stuff in 1978, played fast and with a f/u punk attitude. The Black and Blue stuff sounds great from the European recordings in 1976. The same with tours supporting Tattoo You, Voodoo Lounge, etc.

Sad because ABB had some strong material, especially Laugh and Back of My Hand (one of their best ever original blues numbers).

An absolutely classic track. Was blasting it and singing along in my car on the drive home today. Love it.

This song is so intense but I think it would work better with a small crowd. I dream of experiencing this song live.....maybe one day

Agree with you. Those 2 are great Stones vintage ( which could easily find their places among the bests of VL,BTB on stage ).
