It amazes me that a band that made this track also made Their Satanic Majesties Request - and that this brilliant track is on that awful album. Their most bizarre album ever. 4 great tracks, 6 horrible ones.
The Stones have only written two bad songs in 52 years and the six you have alluded to here are not one of those two. Satanic is great from top to bottom. Sweet Neo Con and Back To Zero are not on Satanic.
LoneRangerMightyStones50, your idea of what bad songs are does not equate with reality. The two you mentioned are at the top of their bad song list but anyone knows that. They have more than "two bad songs in 52 years" - 25 or so years being without any songs released.
Only two bad songs in 52 years is pretty remarkable. And NO bad albums! All damn good to great!

Satanic is timeless! I like it as much as Pepper, and Pepper is the greatest album ever in my opinion. She's A Rainbow might be the best track on the album.

Of course great and exceptional track. I wish I could have been there in Chicago
When played live on the Brides tour - sat that one out ...Ouch.
Great track and that simple piano intro is genius.

Oh boy, you're back at being the full October moon fanboy again and have somehow gotten more deaf. "Only two bad songs in 52 years" is absurd and they do have bad albums - DIRTY WORK is their worst, VOODOO LOUNGE is not ageing well and TSMR is another one.

TSMR is @#$%& ace! One of their most atmospheric, adventurous and interesting.

And I love that word atmospheric! Satanic is a masterpiece and the album I listen to most of all outside of the Some Girls bonus tracks.Re: Track Talk: She’s A Rainbow

I wanted to list HTW but I am the only one I know of that doesn't like it.
Sounds like maybe you were hypnotized by that giant evil looking Jack O' Lantern that appeared on the Pyramid stage during Sympathy For The Devil at Glastonbury last summer!

TSMR is one of the last times the stones actually did sound innovative and interesting, far better than the lazy slop they churned out on a regular basis after the early seventies!

That live version though is horrendous. Seems like they loose their way, Ronnie needlessly trying to find a solid slid riff that sounds like noodling. Keith can barely be heard. And even Charlie looses time at several points in the song.

Hey Rob, thank you so much, that is very kind of you to say that! I suppose that great music just inspires me to try and do it justice in words (which is impossible, of course!)

It's my all time favourite song. From the moment I've heard it first it became the tune of my life.

I don't remember now what I may have heard on the radio in advance. To be certain, I had the immense joy to be able to listen to "She's a Rainbow" from the first day when the album reached my home town in that now rather distant past. You may gather what kind of experience it involved. This song and that album as their current material then!
How much I adored the song as the highlight of the album that I loved! Song and album still has its place in my imagination. (Song now as one of two highlights of the album. And also now I love the album as whole.)
[Please, come back, His Majesty!]
To me though there is not one song alone that is their greatest. Instead there are several Rolling Stonees songs that are. Impossible to many. A point of view to be shared by some. We are aware that during the moments when you listen to these songs, each of them takes that honour.

Its not my favorite Rolling Stones song, but it was the first one I ever heard and made me fall in love with the band. I listened to it endlessly and it holds a very special place in my heart. It must for a lot of others too because its certainly endured, especially being from a (wildly underrated) not well known album.
