No, not the girls in the audience...the song!

I think a lot of the performances in the movie aren't great, but Some Girls, in particular strikes me. Mick and Keith singing together and Keith's enthusiasm is great. I love seeing Keith so into it. At the other end, it may be the sloppiest version of a song I have heard. Ronnie is playing notes on the peddle steel, but their is no melody in his playing, the rest of the band seems lost, and Mick kind of spits out lyrics at parts. In every way (except Mick and Keith's duet on the chorus) it is a terribly bad version. Ronnie sounded like he had no idea how to play his instrument. Very strange.

I loved it. Staring up at this song in an IMAX theatre...it was fantastic. Keith is still the boss and needn't prove anything. By the way, isn't Ronnie lost most the time? I thought that was part of his charm...

They nailed in '99...highlight of the tour. At the Beacon? not so much....

I think you mean Far Away Eyes.

That WAS well done

I watched Shine A Light last night on Pallidia and it's growing on me. They aired Ladies and Gentlemen first, and going from that sublime concert footage to SOL, I wasn't expecting much. Some Girls from SOL is one of the better songs imo, Far Away Eyes is meh, except for that endearing duet, staged or not.

I had to get up early, so I didn't watch the whole thing again. I will say I had no trouble turning it off as soon as Mick started the Sympathy for the Devil Woo Hoos. What in the world was he thinking? Ouch, like fingernails on a chalkboard....

OMG...never post when hungover. I do indeed mean Faraway Eyes. Very very very embarassing

No worries buffalo7478, I've done far worse without the excuse of being hungover.

LOL! Must have been some session last night, eh? I could do with one of those!

Saw SHINE A LIGHT in an IMAX theater and during Some Girls thought "Now that's a rock star." I just loved Mick's attitude and everything.
