In 1966 Keith played the riff. I can't listen to this song without the riff being properly played. That's why I don't like the 69 version that much.

Hmm, the 1969 Satisfaction focuses more on the sex angle AND introduces more in the way of musical interaction between the band. Maybe too much ear candy for yah?

It's hard to deny the aceness of the breakdown and build up section with Jagger preening and the players weaving.... Dance music with meaning.

The 69 version was their take on Otis Redding's take of the song.

I know, but that came off better later on, Mike. For instance with this version:

They did it better.

Every tour after 1973 was disappointing for the die-hards at first. Only time told otherwise and appreciation rose in some cases.

The Taylorites, you mean? The die-hards are the ones that still support the Stones and attend their shows Think about the meaning of the expression "die-hards" for a second

Thanks for your generous advice, but I usually think before I write something, so...
Anyway, being a die-hard does not prevent from being disappointed, and I'm not talking about Taylorites here. Fact is that (some/many?) were disappointed in 1975, 1976, 1978, 1981, 1982 - and, surprise, surprise - pleasantly surprised in 1989/90, but that had something to do with the fact that noone knew what to expect after this 7 years break or even because expectations were quite low at the time.

Otis had never even heard the Stones version when he was prodded into doing Satisfaction. He just winged it and forgot some of the lyrics, which led to the ad libs/vamps.

None: it's not the tours, it's some of the gigs.
