There was some discussion on this board some time back about 'how' original the Stones version of 'She's So Cold' is - Willie Nile claims they stole it from him...

One of my all-time favorite tracks. I wish they'd try playing it at the correct tempo. Almost every time they play it live it ends up sounding rushed, like they can't wait to get it over with. To me it's like Miss You. Great groove... Moves along at a great pace. Beautiful guitar work and an exercise in "less is more" by Charlie.

this one started it all for me 34 years ago. listening to am radio and it came on it was like a bolt of electricity to my system.
bought the 45 then the album, then the entire catalogue, many times over.
I still love this song because it's beautiful though.

Completely agree...it's all about the tempo and I haven't like a live version nearly as much as the studio.

This insanely excellent song, like Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) is one they should never play live because they can't do it justice. They ruin the song by performing it without a hint of what makes it great - tactfulness.

Emotional Rescue was the first 'new' Stones album that I ever experienced .... (I bought Some Girls after seeing them on SNL). A local radio station was playing the entire album about a week before being released. I remember sleeping at a friends house just to stay up and listen to the debut. We were sitting there taking in all the songs, and then all of a sudden this riff/beat started up. We were so excited I think we even started jumping around the room to it.
It's always been one of my favorites! I love the not-so-obvious build up to the end.

Could be said about half their catalog. I think it's more a statement of how great their recordings are. But I certainly wouldn't want to limit their attempts at performing them live. I just think of the live songs as stand alone pieces and try not to compare them to the studio recordings because that is futile and a set up for disappointment, in most cases. Comparing them to other live performances is more interesting and fun for me.
Considering they do huge amounts of takes in the studio, listen backs, corrections, multiple layers of guitars and vocals, over dubs and then hours of mixing the levels and adjusting EQ's it's east to see why a single take live performance might not produce as good of a musical result....the overall result however is often good enough. Even though this studio tune sounds sparse, I think we'd be shocked at how much went into getting it right. peace

I've always believed this album remains underrated by many older fans...
which always struck me as cynical.
From the posts here, ER, and SG, were seminal for a whole generation of us coming of age in 1979-80....
It was my punk rock.
Glass Houses! I remember Jackson Browne's "The Boulvard" coming out that same week or a few before...its funny how everything surrounding is connected to my Stones memory.Quote

It was the first Stones album I got into. When I first heard Emotional Rescue, I didn't even like the song. So when SSC blew my mind, I just bought the 45. But then I liked the flip side, and I think I heard Where the Boys Go on the radio, so I took a flyer and bought the album (that and Billy Joel Glass Houses the same day).
Since then, I've bought every stones album in every configuration possible, many duplicates in sealed condition, every box set, and every single 45, UK and US, all many times over.
I also have purchased a Billy Joel double greatest hits CD.

You wrote my own story....
I had seen them on SNL (the rerun in 79) and then the SG 8-track, and the summer of 1980 was all about the Stones, and then ER came out. I remember listening to the single, and being just blown away by the weirdnesso of it: the strange, off-beat rhythm and syncopation...
And then my local rock station also played tracks from the album right before its official release date, so for about a day or two, you were hearing Indian Girl, All About You, Send it to Me etc...and people would call in and comment and request...It was a huge deal. All this coincided with a Stones A-Z the next weekend to celebrate the release.
That was my official christening as a real fan, not just them as a curiosity...
I was all in...
