It's a fine rocker, but hardly the greatest show opener.

I suspect that among the more elitist fans, it's greatest appeal is that it peaks the smug-o-meter.

no, it's actually the greatest show opener ever. i don't fool around with this kinda thing.

Actually one of the worst show opener's ever and I'm quite serious.

2013's Get Off My Cloud is a second worst however a somewhat distant second.

'When they opened the U.S. shows with this song in '78, I guarantee you that at least 98% of the people in the stadium crowd never heard this one before.

I will admit I was only 20 years old, and thought I was a hard core fan who traveled 1500 miles to see the show, but when they opened with that in Anaheim, I said WTF!

I for one, had never heard of it.

They opened with Sweet Little 16 when I saw them in '78 and I thought it was great.

They OPENED with Sweet Little 16? Where/which show? Or did you come to late and missed the first half of the show?

Wouldn't be nice to have a studio version of Let It Rock?

Bye bye Johnny would be best
It's a good farewell song

You must have missed half of that show Sweet Little Sixteen was the 3 to last song on most shows

I must confess that I prefer the Status Quo version over the Stones version on this one, especially the live versions with the singalong.

i just looked; he's not back there. scaredy-cat.

Didn't like it opening with a non Stones song.

I think it is one of the greatest opening songs in stones shows, they should use it

The lead break in 78 doesn't come close to 71...

let me guess, the version in 71 was better because of MT.
