Because in '81 this Travis Bean bass was considered the absolute best of the best, made from the highest grade components using the upmost modern materials.
Now in 2010 it indeed looks rather ugly.

he loved the small neck and the sound of the Steinberger bass.
Yes, fully agree. This opening make me dance. It`s done by mistaken, cause Keith `n` Ronnie are not in the mix or too low but then the moment Ronnie comes in with his raunchy chords that is one of my alltime favourit Stones moments, so @#$%& great...

Anyone got an idea what happened ( or didn´t happen ) at the very beginning ?
Was it just the start of the broadcast or the same sound in the hall ?

yeah, Ive always been disappointed with the opening of this show. UMT was a brilliant opener, Hampton a Brilliant show except for the very start of it. Maybe its because Keith and Ron were still walking out when the song started?

it's the way the show started. bill and charlie first with woody and keith dropping in as they enter the stage. always thought it sounded great. different cities (LA, chicago ect) seem to have different mixes of the show. made my bootleg as it happened from WLS FM, chicago, which somehow had a horrible signal the night of the show. however keith was dominant in the unmixed broadcast, which was great! was very suprised to hear such a great difference in sound with various bootlegs.

yeah, I didnt like the set list for this tour but thought UMT was the best opener they have ever used and the re-worked guitar version is amazing compared to the original...I always say it and won't misss this chance, 81/82 was the last tour Keith really worked on and played sublimely.

why did bill start playing such ugly bass guitars? the one in that video is just horrendous! and the ones without headstocks are even worse.

It's a bit sloppy and Mick's a bit off...saying that, LOVE this as an opener, just so much energy.
Another opener that was surprisingly good was Not Fade Away...what tour did they use that on?
Very 'Bo-Diddley' sound.

No one has answered shortfatfanny's original question yet.
Keith and Ronnie are playing their guitars but there isn't any sound coming out of them until almost the 1:00 mark on this video.
I was at this show but don't remember details and have never seen the film.
I always wondered what the beginning looked like since the boot i have has waves of audience noise that gets louder and louder with each wave. Always thought the boys might have come out one by one with the two loudest waves being keith and mick coming out last.
It sounds great but why was the guitar sound off at the very beginning when you can hear the other instruments?
I know Ronnie might not have been playing much
but Keith sure was playing his guitar.

Mixing desk out of synch...probably relying on vision rather than sound and couldnt see Keith and Ron until they were right on stage. It's possible!

Yeahp, someone asleep at the desk with their hand on the wrong knob ha ha.
That's a common thing. No matter the soundcheck, it's always different for a show. What they heard during soundcheck is different.

I always though Bill sounded pretty sloppy at the start. Of course may be the first time he moved and played at the same time. : )
once going his groove is to die for.

So many screw ups, mistakes here and there by anyone, but still they tend to sound so charismatic and irrestible. The greatest garage band of the world. Majestic. I am such a huge fan of their 1981 sound.
Yeah, a bit slow start as far as the audible guitars go, but once they got them finally mixed front, is a kind of old diesel mobile finally start running... now it sounds like unintented "Gimme Shelter" intro, bulding up the tension...

" cut the crap " ? no we need some dirt from those bastards.A too clean sound would be boring like nowadays unfortunately. Love much better the Beast of Burden from 81 than the 2003

78 and 81 tours show both the best and worst you can get from this band. Sometimes even in the same song! When on fire (most of the times), rock and roll just can't get any better. Fixed set lists, but I don't think there is a single note played the same way two nights in a row. The Hampton show is one of those nights! Perfection. Still life is the record that made me want to learn how to play the guitar back in the 80's (Van Halen who?).
