Can anybody help?

I believe "Satisfaction" was played a couple of times on the 1978 tour.
Can anybody tell me the best sounding recording / best performance of this number from this tour?

Cheers.

Couldn't find much on youtube ....

this song was a hoot in '78!

They only played it maybe 10 times during the entire decade of the 1970s. In '78, if I remember correctly, it was played in the middle of the set, interrupting a long string of songs from Some Girls. It was weird hearing it so out of context like that, instead of being one of the warhorses coming down the home stretch.

On the Oakland show it was the last number. I remember reading that on the Rocksoff setlist page. And you hear him at the end say "goodbye San Francisco!"

Real bad intros...Sorry guys, but i prefer (by far) the versions of all the so called "Vegas Years" (in addition the "Vegas era" theory does mean nothing to me...)

it's meant as a goodwill/feelgood gesture. everyone in oakland wishes they lived in san francisco. just like everyone in san antonio wishes they lived in austin.

It was played four times. Philly, Chicago, Boulder and Oakland. It was the last song for the last three concerts. In Philly it was between the last Some Girls tune, Shattered, and Sweet Little Sixteen.

Checked my JFK '78 bootleg (yes, I know it sucks). Satisfaction was played after the last song from Some Girls, right at the top of the stretch run.

Let It Rock

I wanna hear him say "...And good bye San Leandro, Hayward and Union City!

I just listened to those two versions and I am sorry but it sounds a lot better now and anyone who thinks Jagger sounded good there you have your head up your you know what.

The '78 version has a punk-inspired urgency that I like, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any decent recordings of it.

It was the encore in Chicago. 7/8/78

This must be what Keith was thinking when, in '94, during an MTV interview promo-ing the Voodoo Lounge tour, he said, "We're the guys who don't play Satisfaction on stage very often." I remember thinking then, "What's he talking about? They played it ever night in '81-82 and '89-90!"

None of them. It was 1978.

Though many people probably assume it's their most often played song, it's been played nowhere near as many times as Jumpin Jack Flash.

I made a quick check and count, and they played Satisfaction 17 times in 1971 (if they did it all shows, which I believe they did), about four times in 1972 (Detroit, 2 x Philly, 1 X NYC?), once at Knebworth in 1976 and five times (?) in 1978, which makes it about 27 times in total during the '70s.

Could be. I got the "maybe 10 times" from a post of Gazza's in this thread about which Stones songs have been played the most.
