He screwed up Happy when I saw them in Brooklyn, I doubt he was ready to sing a "new" song but I'd do anything to hear them play "Soul Survivor." That's what they are of course.

The song is a light-weighter, compared with all the great songs they have to choose from...

Wow! Light weighter? PMS? Just can't be. When I first heard the opening licks and the wonderful harmony of Mick Taylor gelling with The Stones. After decades? It was spine chilling. An amazing explosion of happiness, with a LA story of loss and regrets. An instant later day/retro classic.

Yes, exactly stupidguy2. You are right, Jagger's lyrics and his singing with Mick Taylor playing behind him was a powerful lament on the past and present. Wonderful, and a very sentimental moment. The creme le creme would have been if Keith would have been more involved. But, his past was still on it, so it worked. Beautifully. I know you feel it too Tele! I know it! Come on Rockman! YOu too brother. I know you love it.

Maybe, but compared to "One More Shot" it's freaking Gimme Shelter.

Mick has a very short attention span. Even though this was the first set of shows since the Exile reissue, that was 2010. Might as well be 1910 to Mick. Mick seems to have two trains of thought. Number one is new stuff, get it out there, play the new stuff, move some records. The other is responsibility to the classics, playing the old songs people want to hear. It's all about "the right now" and "the distant past", the recent past doesn't seem to interest him all that much.
Wonderfully written. Spot on.Quote

Yes, the song is a strange sort of culmination of all those years..as if their history belonged to us as well....or was a part of our lives in some small way.
You feel the warmth and resonance with Taylor's part in the song. As if after all those years, the song, the track had been laying there... just waiting patiently and untouched for Jagger to get around to confronting those ghosts and his own sins to finally give it life, a sort of redemptive resolution.
You feel the regret, the wistful melancholy in Jagger's voice and lyrics, but also the beautiful chords...they fit the song's mournful vibe. I also wonder if Jagger wanted to recapture what he had always been able to do with Taylor on some of his more evocative songs, like Moonlight Mile, Winter.....
This song is a masterpiece.

Boring track, no need to play it live ... except they add a bridge eventually.
excellent point. a rock song without a bridge is like a day without sunshine. or is it orange juice? well, it's something.

No bridge on "Like A Rolling Stone". Somehow that one worked out ok.

Well, take 1973, the recent past of the last five years was almost all they played. And 1981 - lots of stuff played from 1978 and even a few from 1980.
I think this a his Vegas way of thinking, from 1989 to now. They mostly haven't come out with anything in that whole period that people care to hear, becaseu frankly, they aren't exactly putting out modern classics for people to care about.... Plundered My Soul, in my opinion, is not forgotten because it's not good, but because it was wasted as a tack-on to Exlie's re-release, putting it WAY under the radar for the average music fan to know or care about it, which is a shame. Some goes for a lot of the Some Girls stuff.
I almost DID expect a nod to those tunes. But hey, a proper tour just might gives us those, if they do a cool 2002 type of tour.
Nah....

Excellent point!
I'd rather hear Doom and Gloom - The opening lyric- "Last night I dreamed I was piloting a plane and all the passengers were drunk and insane."
This song is so relevant to today's news!! There are actually drunks on flights now that have to be constrained by Duct Tape!
