I don't understand what happens between this songwriting/creation stage and final studio recording that seems to strip recent Stones songs of the emotion and feeling I get from him just noodling around here.
That was my first thought! Right here, it sounds so organic, soulful and fresh. When we get it, it sounds like overprocessed crap.

Reminds me of the feel I get from " Hide Your Love".....always loved that because it's so basic and stripped down....but I don't feel that all of their studio material is over-processed....SOMETIMES it has too much going on...like when they try for a more " modern feel"...

Some people like to see it that way, and do their best to make other people believe it is that way, but my guess is you don't, and just like me you

I think 1989-present day Mick is stuck in "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" vocal style, which is a great song, but that style gets old fast (to me).

Looks like a Bridges-era clip. Sounds like that would make for a great song, excellent melody, a bit of mid-tempo soulful funk. I wonder whatever became of this song, what the title turned out to be, and if he ever finished it. Sounds like the makings of a solid lead single. Mick should revisit that one as a strong contender for inclusion on a new Stones album--which reminds me of how much I'd like for them to record a new album.

Unfortunatly the Stones music has suffered from over production since Tattoo YOu, there has been many a good song battered into submission through over use of instruments, production and backing vocals since that recording. I don't know if it's what Jagger is aiming to do to cover the cracks up, but it's those cracks which made the Stones sound. Everything over the last 30 years is so polished and reminiscent of the musak they play in the lifts of Vegas hotels. Please Mick, if we are to have a new album, lets go for the stripped approach, you did it on stage this year and it worked, so why not bring it to the studio. DOn't feel the need to creat a whole new list of formulaic new songs (those dreadful 5 string Keith riffs have been done to death) let's hear some classic country, blues, reggae, motown. It could be your finest moment in decades and would see rave reviews across the music industry. We are waiting!

Again, I don't agree Punkfloyd...I think Mick sings certain songs the same way every time, for example " Far Away Eyes" is always sung with that country TWANG...He does " Memory Motel" with just the right amount of emotion...believable and sincere. I don't see how you can say he's stuck in any one kind of vocal pattern. If anything, I think the last tour shows how he's worked on his vocal chops. When he is simply noddling, it's not like he can be compared to anything or to any other song...it's unchartered territory so he can sing what he feels, note to note, making it up as he goes...no band, no other sounds, just the piano and his voice. The purity of it is moving.

Did that clip remind anyone else of this ?
