It has swagger!

Every version of Shattered is powerful, aggressive, loud, cool and fast. Until 1982. Since 1989 they play it too slowly and too well-behaved. So, to me it's one of just a few tracks that doesn't work in these days anymore.

I don't think I've ever heard them use that wacky phase sound on the guitar live.

I believe Keef uses similar guitar effects on the '78 live versions.

I generally like the live versions better because Jagger is more loose. He sounds a bit forced to me on the studio version, although I like it a lot. For ex. when he screams, very forced.

This version is supreme:

But, there are no guitars!

About the Hampton version (which is the Still Life version): it's a train that starts rolling and never stops, it's aggressive, bold, punchy and punk.The guitars sound fabulous and are in my opinion true examples of 'weaving'. Jagger's vocals are fantastic too -low, mature, loud and strong.

As the the rest of the Hampton show: the Stones just do not get better than this.

This version is embarrassing. Crap guitars, those horrible backing singers. Urgh!

I kind of agree; it is a good version. I like the Stones on Gibsons.

This was the version I mentioned on page 1 of this thread; the first seconds sounds very good - but then that horrible slick background choir chimes in; and the guitars gets buired.

Never been done justice live, imo, there's just too much going on in the studio version - the Stones song that probably comes closest to a collage.

God neither version please!

You're kidding me , right ?

Shattered is the balls !!

oh, please! everyone knows it's the tits.

I wish I was but it's my 3rd least favorite Stones song. Although I must say I was happy to hear it (having never heard it live before) at opening night in Fenway, since it gave me another song for my list of songs heard live....

At least there are two songs you dislike more...

I concur that the backing vocals stink of the 1994 onward performances of Shattered but what I love about that 1994 version (and that one in particular seeing that it's on the Sparks Will Fly boot) is the way the band plays it. Charlie plays a more fluid beat that pushes through the bridge, Keith lays a bit back on the lick - the phase isn't too much and Ronnie plays the solo in the bridge fantastically.

And Mick sings it pretty goddamn good.

I could do without Lisa and Bernard entirely.
