Brilliant pop song. The Ramones do a cool cover of it.

Does anyone else think they could have made a lot more of Out Of Time in Europe? A few loud strings instead of Matt Playing tinkerbell on the keyboard maybe!!

They played the original version, naturally. No strings on that one. I thought it was brilliant.

Strings? I love the minimalistic arrangement on Aftermath and I really liked their arrangement on this tour. Keith played lovely fills and it sounded raw and well rehearsed. In my opinion it wouldn't be a good idea to blow up an already schmaltzy song with a string Arrangement.

For me the Metamorphosis version is crap. But maybe some are used to this version and would have preferred a similar arrangement on stage?

Dan said:

I liked when he played variations of the melody line during the opening and verses instead of having the "marimba" sample on the keyboard solely carrying the instrumentation.

Keith also would play slashing chords during the chorus to 'beef up' the power. Turn him up!

I found the differences listening to different versions, you see how he played variations of that melody line......or got lost along the way. He played it very loose with 'feel'. Never the same twice.

No doubt the Stones will release a live 'Out of Time' on a future project.

Rolling Stones Play ’60s Favorite ‘Out of Time’ Live for the First Time Since… Ever
The song has shown up prominently in movies like "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,"
but never in a Stones set list.
By Chris Willman

The time has come today for the Rolling Stones to introduce the 1966 song “Out of Time” into their setlist. Improbable as it may seem, given how often the song has been covered by others or licensed for the movies, the band had never performed the tune live until it showed up at the Stones’ European tour opening Wednesday night in Madrid, Spain.





There was a rumor the song might show up, as eavesdroppers on tour rehearsals had heard the Stones trying out “Out of Time,” although there are typically rarities that they test during rehearsal periods that seldom or never make it onto a tour. So its actual appearance at the Metropolitano Stadium opener was considered a blessed event indeed.

Given the enduring popularity of the song among fans, some might assume it was released as a single in ’66, but that wasn’t the case after it first appeared as an “Aftermath” album cut. It was a quickie cover version by British artist Chris Farlowe — produced by Mick Jagger (with Jimmy Page on guitar)— that reached No. 1 in the U.K. later in 1966; that cover never cracked the Hot 100 in America.

In 1975, a Stones version of the song was finally belatedly released as a single, albeit as it appeared in a different, patched-together form on the “Metamorphosis” compilation album put out by Allen Klein after the band was out from under his auspices. That version of the song used the backing track from the Jagger-produced Farlowe single of 1966 and featured the demo vocal Jagger recorded to guide Farlowe. But, as a single, this new creation wasn’t a hit — it peaked at No. 45 in the U.K. and No. 81 in the U.S.

So why do people imagine the Stones had a big hit with it? Beyond the fact that it’s a strong enough kiss-off that it could have been a smash, the song has been licensed a decent amount over the years for “end of an era” usage in films and TV.

In Hal Ashby’s post-Vietnam drama “Coming Home” in 1978, it was used over the opening credits, a montage that mixes footage of veterans in rehabilitation with shots of the Bruce Dern character jogging on the beach, suggesting that he may be the one who’s run out of time. The song reappeared over the end credits.

Much more recently, Quentin Tarantino had the entire “Metamorphosis” version play out late in the running time of 2019’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” at the start of a sort of epilogue sequence that has Leonardo DiCaprio’s character returning from a long sojourn filming overseas, with a new, counterculture look.

Although the Stones never collectively considered it for a live airing until 2022, that hasn’t stopped other artists from performing it. According to setlist.fm, it has been performed by Elvis Costello, with and without the Imposters, at least 47 times, and was included on the 2011 live album “The Return of the Spectacular Singing Songbook.” (Costello sang it on tour as recently as last year.) Van Morrison is also listed as having sung it in concert at least 12 times. On record, it’s been covered by the Ramones, among others.

The anthem of the 2022 summer!

For me the anthem of 1966 with Substitute, Paint It Black, Wild Thing, Paperback Writer etc. I remember that summer.......everything before us. Sunshine, girls, freedom, youth, Lambretas, Radio London, Radio City (5x5), Radio Caroline..... and The Stones pumping it out through the sixties.

A timeless song that is never out of time.

opinions are like...what was that one again?

After-math is great too, [www.catawiki.com]

I was in Milan...and OOT was fantastic!

Love it.

It was played on the juke box in the Hope & Anchor after the great Orr band had finished and it was sung by everyone in the pub with so much energy.

Brilliant highlight of my stones tour.

Not sure if this has been discussed here before (if so, forgive me of being out of time), but Martin Scorsese put Out Of Time on the list of his suggested songs for the Stones during the making of Shine A Light. A real surprise for me indeed, and he even listed it as the first item. That year (2006) happens to be the 40th anniversary of this marvelous song.

Lots of great obscure songs on his list. OOT, Sitting on a Fence, and Take It or Leave It. All faves of mine as well.

I loved OOT on this tour, it was just fantastic. Amazed that 50 thousand people sang along, never knew it was so popular.

One of my very favourite songs! Pure brilliance just like everything they wrote during the Aftermath/Between The Buttons era.

Steve Harley did an interesting acoustic version a couple of years back, a sort of 'mash-up' with HTW:

No? Reminds me of how "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" was not on the Casino movie soundtrack.
Disappointing.
