A masterpiece! The only thing I'm not too crazy about (and that's knitpicking) is Charlie's multiple "machine gun" drum rolls.
The song could have used a lighter touch from him, as he's done in concert, imo.
Brilliant songwriting, singing and playing. The atmosphere one gets from this track is nothing but awesome

Hey, Dandy,you don't like Charlie's drum rolls on this? I always thought they were put in to wake people up out of the reverie the general song weaves in order to give it a general dynamic.

More than anything it is Keith Richard's (no "s"!) graduate work as a traditional song-writer. After this perfect gem the route was ready to deconstruct the traditional pop song structure in SATANIC MAJESTIES and after that to reconstruct the idea of a song from guitar riffs and experiments.

Their rendtion of this song at Hyde Park 2 was my personal highlight of both Hyde Park Shows. I thought it was tremendous.

I came to Hyde Park 2 with a couple of friends who are not particular Stones fans (and much younger than me!) This was one of their highlights - they couldn't believe it was a Stones melody.

That's a great insight Doxa. Never thought of them de-constructing or re-constructing pop song structure from pure riffs but that is exactly what they did. Really well put.
