I thought of that, but I'm not quite convinced it's a true medley (despite what it says on the record) as there's a brief pause between the songs.
Indeed. Medleys become a way to do half-assed, throwaway versions of things a performer feels obligated to play. It used to annoy the hell out me when the Kinks in the 70s would string together singalong, minute and a half versions of some of their most beloved songs onstage (Well-Respected Man/Death of Clown/Sunny Afternoon) in the '70s.
Exactly. Crap by The Beatles or anyone else for that matter. It's the nadir of any performer's career when they resort to lazy-arsed medleys. Cabaret/Batley Variety Club is right round the corner.
Hmmmm...I must say that I'd love to hear a 5 minute IORR/Brown Sugar/JJFlash/Satisfaction medley in all future shows - if there will be any more shows anyway. They should have thought about that 20 years ago, actually.
oh but the tuning is not that important; Keith could do a few riffs if he felt like it, or he could just clap his hands; standing next to Jagger. I'm sure Chuck would do a fine job doing then all in plain G - hey he even have stored drum-rythms at that keyboard; would make it easier for Charlie, as well.

Keef would either need three midsong guitar swaps (like Brian May at Live Aid) or a custom double neck (5-string and 6-string) with a capo at the ready.
If I had a double neck, I'd want two 6-string necks, one for an open tuning and one for standard.[/quote]
Maybe you'll need one of these.
I always thought that Luxury - Get Off of My Cloud medley might be wonderful.

What songs have been performed live as medleys? I can think of the following:
Get Off Of My Cloud / Yesterday's Papers (1967)
Goin' Home / Satisfaction (1967)
Under My Thumb / I'm Free (1970)
Uptight / Satisfaction (1972)
If You Can't Rock Me / Get Off Of My Cloud (1975 - 1976)
2nd question, what songs would work well as medleys? Two that spring to mind are:
Love In Vain / I Got The Blues
All Down The Line / Silver Train

Medleys are for the likes of Cliff Richard. The Stones should leave well alone.
