I take back what I said in another thread about this song not being good live after '82. This is a really cool version. I wonder why they didn't play this regularly on the BTB tour, it comes off well to my ears. I like '69 style bass intro. Daryl lays down a nice groove throught, Kieth is sounding really good and Mick's singing is soulful. I like the interaction between Mick and Keith. During the bridge Mick goes in the back to put on a hat and then misses his spot to come back in. He waits and then Keith Urges him to go back out and sing. Cool ending that they added onto it. And yes, I like Chucks keyboard part as well. It seems like the best stones stuff of recent years are re - workings of their 60's pop tunes.

Loved this version........it was cold as shit that night!
By the time they hit No Security arena tour they were so honed...the best version of the live band I ever saw...THAT is when they really started experimenting.
Some of these songs never played live.

Some Girls
MoonLight Mile
You Got the Silver
I Got The Blues
I Just Wanna Make Love to You
Ruby Tuesday
Sweet Virginia
Memory Motel
Bitch
Fool To Cry
Live With Me
Respectable
Cloud

Those songs were rotating along with the normally played ones, PLUS the Bridges to Babylon album really lent itself live.

Out of Control
Saint Of Me
Anybody Seen My Baby
Flip The Switch

The Stones really vary what they play live more than any other band.
The Who on the other hand, might play 22 different songs a tour, where back 99, The Stones might have played 40 or more different songs during the tour.

Nice version indeed! I like how Jagger messed it up a little bit after Keith's solo.

Cheers,

I just wanna make love to you : played live in 1990 (maybe too in 89)
Sweet Virginia : 1972 and live European debut at the Paradiso 1995
Fool To Cry : live in 1976
Bitch : Live in 89/90
Live With Me : 94/95
Respectable : 97/98
Ruby Tuesday : 89/90

I liked that they played a lot of fresh songs from the BtB album during that tour. Saint Of Me and Out Of Control were great live.

Yes I realize some of them were played before, but they really started throwing in lots of variety, including some firsts during the Bridges to Babylon tour, and exploding into No Security.

Like Some Girls, You Got The Silver, Shine a Light....that was a tour to follow, you got something different every night, maybe 2 songs different....they really rotated the list I posted earlier as non regular appearances.

They started playing Cloud, Rambler and Gimmie Shelter with regularity, which they had stopped from 78 through 82...and reintroduced them in 94.

The gig was raw/rotten as are most tour openers but for some reason this one song is really great.
A bit like the lame Nuremberg'98 show where Keith played a version of TITN that ended on NS!

I was at MSG when they first played that song, it was great.
Remember NS album did not have one song on it from the No Security tour.

amazing how much better they play in general than they did in 1997..

Now this version was a nice surprise. Thanks for posting.

This Under My Thumb is very nice indeed. Very understated. A very bare version, which works. The licks Ronnie plays are good too. For once the guitars in the sound are mixed very even. You can hear both guitars very good. Nice to see they are having so much fun on stage with this song.

Was Keith playing a solo? Wow. Yikes.

I love Mick at the 2:56 mark...

Well, ok i´ts not good. Why? Mainly i´s so uneven and like it´s going to fall apart. Chuck and Darryl are very loud while Ron and Keith are not the shadow of they´re playing in 1981-2, that was a rocking version and this one could be good and more groovie but it its nott well rehearsed.. Mick is obviously singing his first show in a tour, a bit monotone and unsecure, bad mix and if memory serves my well then i think the tape is on too much speed here, it was slower i think.

Sorry guys I have to disagree here. I really WANTED to like Under My Thumb when played opening night in Chicago 1997, but it is just so incredibly tame. To top it off, Chuck is playing lead on the keyboards. Contrast that to 81 when Keith plays the lead...

I think that UMT is one of the Stones tunes that has suffered the most following Wyman's departure. He added a little swing and sway to that tune that makes all other versions sound a little rigid to me. The Chicago version in this video has some nice guitar work, and certainly beats out the BB versions I heard, but they all sound a little choppy to my ear.

well virtually every song was played live before on your list except like one

Yeah ok it's tame but at least it was different.

Okay that 1997 video is from my youtube account and I increased the tempo by 5 % before uploading to make it sound better... But either way it's a great version.

Is it just me or does it have an almost reggae feel in that 97 version at the top? I much prefer the 81 (apart from Mick's outfit which is truly an offense to the eyes)

You're right. Not to bad. Sounds a bit unrehearsed though (understandably). And maybe the '97 tour is the beginning of Mick's increasing nasality.

Except 3 at that time...I guess since
I saw 16 shows that tour...
it was so awesome to see such
varied set lists...thanks
for the history lesson. ;-)

There you go, it think that has something to do with it that some people found a little bit of extra spark to it. By comparison how they play today: well let´s give us they would be in the same mood as when they nailed Street Fighting Man in Hyde park last summer then UMT wouldn´t sound bad i´m sure of.
Regarding Bill Wyman, i think i am speaking for most of us with all respect for Mr. Jones, almost every if not every song had something that is missing now. And that´s just the way things are. The Stones are not playing just better then i could have imagine when i first saw them 24 years ago BUT they are also STILL playing. Thanks for that

That's very stupid : Keith would have given the blade for it.
It did a show a blade to recording assistant to sped up a track during the DW sessions.

If everyone starts to "enhance" the Stones music as fan we're f&cked!

It lacks passion. The 81/82 performances had passion - it was fast and rocking. The 97 version is a bit closer to the original yet has thin weak guitar in it. It meanders, Mick invents new lyrics, Stones by almost numbers.
