I listened to Sway from last night's show in the car today. I simply hooked up my phone and played the audio of the youtube video through my car speakers. (imagine that I'm cruising down the highway listening to last night's show, incredicle!)
I thought it tighter than the previous tour versions, but damn Jagger 2013 can't seem to sing it all to well and the back up singers seem to drown out everything. The sound was a typical above average audience recording, but I'm used to those, as most of us are . . . I was wondering, who would do the solo in the middle of the song, and sure enough Ronnie stepped up to the plate, well, not bad, but jeez there wasn't much to it . . .
Then the outro solo. Mick T provided me with such joy during that solo, I actually teared up. Yup. A grown man brought to the brink by a beautiful piece of music. What a wonderful moment, for me. Then, Jagger ends the song! I couldn't believe it. Should have let Mick T go another couple times around, at least two more . . . But all in all, it was the first real Stones emotional moment in many many years.
Thought I would share, can't wait for Boston.

I can't believe that anyone would judge a performance off of some crappy youtube video. Just wait for the DVD and you will be blown away.

Tears flowed when I saw the video of last night's CYHMK. There, I said it.

Micks afraid it might work, and he'll be forced to be a Stone for a couple more years.

I had a similar impression. Based on his actions and singing I don't think Mick J was feeling either one of those songs, the fact they did them at all is a testament to their desire to get Mick T more involved. When Jagger performs a song he isn't truly feeling, he gets this campy attitude with it that really turns me off and reminds me of sides 1,2, and 4 of LYL - and that's not a good thing.
Like you, I enjoyed last night's performance for the unique moment it was, and Taylor's fine guitar work. But I hope between now and the next time they do the songs Mick J is able to find some renewed inspiration behind the vocals, and open his mind to letting the guitars really sing too.
