The 3 guitar approach really improves the quality of the performance. Mick was a bit slow on the lyrics, but the guitars are quite good.

Still too many negative opinions being added from people who were not there themselves.
- To be there by oneself is not the decisive thing.

It is perfectly possible to judge a show from the PC.

I think if they were to play this more they could really turn it into an incredible part of the show. The elements are there.
I'm so happy they played it.

ROPENI, why compare the two now? is this really the place and time for that? I think I'd fall over if you ever write anything completely positive about the Stones. Oy vey.
I loved it, hope they add it to the regular set list.

Wow! That was a fantastic piece of live music that "Silver Train"! Playing 'out of box' works these guys when they are willing to take the risk. All behind all those routines and manners, they are damn fine rock and roll band, when they really put their hearts on music.
The song fits very well - as a mid tempo blues rocker (almost a western rock?), having lots of space for the guitars and the groove - to their hands these days. Melodically - and lyrically - the verses are so naive that it is difficult to any singer, but Jagger manages good enough, but it is the melodic chorus where he finds the point in the song, and is able to use his interpretative skills. And since there is no routine, he sounds rather experimental and fresh. The guitar department is such a joy to listen. Lots of room for each of them. Simply the best 'three guitar attack' so far! Also Taylor is best integrated to the team so far. Now he really sound like a part of the band, not just a "special guest" offering extended and isolated solos. For example, that little and damn fitting solo of his is just awesome.
Greatest moment musically to my mind in this leg of the tour so far. What a groove! I hope there is more to come.
