Ernie's sax holds the Hampton live version together. Keith is all hit and miss. Sometimes unbearable to listen to on solos. And don't forget Bill's bass.

Out of curiousity, what makes you say that? IMO, he plays brilliantly. Some insane licks in there. And the interplay with Ronnie (and Ernie) is exceptional.

He plays great rhythm guitar and great licks on and off. I know his idiosyncratic style so I appreciate much of his playing. It's some of his solos I have a problem with. That is where Ernie comes in and fills the gap. Keith talked a lot about Chuck Berry winging it. I think that is sometimes a good word to sum up some of Keith's solos. Sometimes off beat, un-melodic and repetitive. You're a guitar player, Dandy. Do you not hear these things? Or is there something wrong with my ears?

Had to picked out a 2017-solo I would have understood. I really love what he plays, solos included, on this particular version. It's a matter of taste, I guess.

Do you have a problem with all the Stones's guitar solos between 1962 and 1969 as well? If so, I might understand where you're coming from smiling smiley

On the Still Life version the 8 bar "break" at about 3.10 is a goosebumps moment for me every time. The sax solo ends, and everything is stripped back to Charlie's kick drum, Bills bass groove and the 2 guitars are sheer perfection. The engineer mixed the crowd in perfectly.

The Some Girls Live in Texas and Leeds-versions are great contenders to the Still Life rendition. Hampton is the greatest, imo.

LOVE The Stones playing this song.

78 & 81 are the best live versions imho. Incredible.

Charlie’s drumming on the Some Girls album Imagination is great

If you look at SOME GIRLS in regard to its historical space it's really a bizarre album: there's disco, there's punk (yet still blues), there's the dirty street, there's a ballad that maybe isn't really a ballad and there's country.

And some Motown soul.

The album is a mutt.

Considering how much material they recorded for the album was putting a cover song on the album really necessary? Apparently so. It certainly fits the album but any live version from 1981-82 is incredible.

Better than the original? That, my friend, is impossible. We're talking about the Temps here.

I note the Rolling Stones covered three Temps songs: My Girl, Ain't Too Proud to Beg, and Just My Imagination. They have good taste in music.

Yes. Absolutely.

They did those songs their way but... the live version of Imagination was stellar for 1981-82. Way better than the SOME GIRLS version.

They'd played Chuck Berry songs on previous tours but that 1981-82 tour, for some reason, and what I mean is it's the main reason I listen to STILL LIFE to this day... they really got it.

The brilliance was it was different. They turned it into a rock'n'roll song. Listen to STILL LIFE and they did the same with Time Is On My Side! A brilliant pairing.

People knock STILL LIFE but it has some excellent performances. Under My Thumb is fantastic. However TIOMS and Imagination are stellar. They truly captured something with STILL LIFE.
