I actually prefer Dance Pt 2...the lyrics seem to land better in Pt 2 than they do in Pt 1...

Anyone have a preference?

Justin..Dance Part 1.. a great song one of my favourites

Part 1 hands down. Something with the lyrics and the rhythm always bother me with Part 2, although it´s great, too.

Part 2 is my fav, part 1 Great also

Great to have both. Equally superb.

Have a listen to this,a lovely re-edit.

They're both top notch; but somehow I'm still missing the opening line of "Dance pt 1" when hearling "If I was a Dancer".
Also, Keith's great singing/choir on "Dance pt 1" are missing; in the "If I was a Dancer" version. Instead, we get multi track choirs of Jaggers voice. So I prefer "Dance" IOW

I agree with all you said Erik. Dance Pt. 1 has the classic opening with Keith and the lyrics are more rhythmic with the groove. Great tracks, but Pt. 1 is more natural one...

Part 2.

Especially for the 'lightnin'' bit!

Part 2 slightly better than Part 1.......both are outstanding.

They rhythm? It's the same as Part 1 - the exact same song, only with another vocal track.

Keith's thoughts on the song are interesting...


I saw Dance as more of an instrumental, like Junior Walker's Shotgun. And Mick immediately came up with reams of paper and lyrics. I thought it should be a minimal lyric, and Mick comes up with Don Giovanni.

There is more empty space in Pt 2...which is why I think I like it more. The lyrics seem to not get in the way as much.

I think Dance Pt 3 sounds best. (Silence)

I like both but what about Everything is turning to gold? I also thought the killers song a few years back kind of ripped off the riffs from Dance

...i thought it was great on the Licks Tour....inspired actually.

This is CRAZY! Just got the suckin in the 70's on the vinyl at me parents, pissed off me head and If I was a dancer just on, and this topic shows!!!! Are you a f/&%¤#"in psychic?!?!?!?

I do prefer Dance part 2 but both are f73462542in ACE!!!!!!

Tonite I've dran just swedish microbrewed ales, started with nynäshamn and strandholmens, later eskilstuna, spiced with BASIL!!!

Try it, just like Cantillon!!!

Make me wanna draw the line!!!

You're a rag trade girl, You're the queen of porn, You're the easiest lay on the white house lawn!!

Pt. 2 is great (may be a bit to perfect) but Pt. 1 is better IMO more stones to me...more raunchy

The instrumental version deserves a commercial release.

I think that THE most under-appreciated aspect of the greatness of the Rolling Stones is that they have taken on so many styles of music, added their own touch, and by so doing, expanded the musical horizons of their fanbase. It started with the blues and many trends followed throughout their career (even into the '90s with Bridges to Babylon). Many styles of music that I would not have otherwise bothered to listen to have been introduced to me by this band. I think it mostly explains their longevity.

The diversity in style is the reason I never get tired of listening to the f**king Rolling Stones. If I get tired of something, there is always a new direction to explore.

I agree. Unfortunately, it seems that this aspect of their legend is always forgotten. People have no issue explaining how The Beatles covered so many genres in their music but the Stones are rarely mentioned for their effortless way they swerve in and out of different styles from reggae to rock, to country to blues to funk...

I hate using the "ancient art of weaving" cliche as it's so worn out, but these two versions are the best example, I think--even better than Beast Of Burden.

I agree as well...so I find it particularly annoying when the 'pile on mick' starts with people trashing the 'foray' into world music with Superheavy. It's like some stones enthusiasts are ok with all the previous styles...but lets not go for anything new.

I remember Miss You getting trashed when it first came out. "Stones sold out" and now it is a classic.

.......Okay well how about Computerised Embroidery .........

What the hell kind of song are these two? They're not disco, they're not rock, they're not pop. Groove music?

In Dance Pt 1, what exactly does Keith say after Mick asks him what he's doing there?
