Used it on "Midnight Rambler" at the Forum in '75.
Reminded me of the Bill Cosby album where he did the "Fat Albert" voice

Easily one of their top 10 tracks and the best off B&B. After hearing Hot Stuff on the radio I was worried the Stones were done. Then I heard Hand of Fate and all was well with the world again.
Beyond great guitar and vocals, the lyrics are great. One of their best writing efforts pairing great music with words.
I would love to hear them play it live at a show I'm at, but also worried that Ronnie will butcher the solos.
I can see why Wayne Perkins thought he was in the band after playing those solos. They are the best on the record (and most, maybe all of the records after this by the Stones).

I DO love it but it has never sounded good live to me. It's slightly... What... Clunky? There's an odd groove to it on record that just can't be translated on stage. But on record.... Wonderful.

Hmm.. me thinks especially that Paris version sounds a bit tired and forced. Like teh guys were about fall asleep or something. I think the song with that kind of rather slow tempo is a bit hard to keep exciting. It sounds still good, but not excellent as the original.
A better solo guitarist could also help...

You're just provoking
I can't see anything tiring, or lacking in the solo guitar department for that matter, on this version. Everything rocks.
