Yes! I heard that in the first measure...Musically, it has that slightly ramshackle, yet soulful throb..there's a bigness...
Except I see PMS as it's older sister, all grown up and wiser...
whereas TD was youthful, hopeful and strutting, trying to convince this woman to 'roll me'...roll the dice, take a chance etc..
PMS is filled with all the regret of sins, betrayals, 'indiscretions', selfish indulgence and actually acknowledging all those fuckups.
It's a sad song about destroying trust and losing something vital in the process, and living with that regret.
I'll ask further for the abuse to be heaped on me by saying that PMS is as good, maybe even more urgent that TD just because it comes later in life.
It's like that track was just sitting there, in a can, in the ether or wherever they sit...and waiting for Mick to grow up and realize that we all shape our life's disapointments.
Ok, that's alot of conjecture, but the song has soul, and Jagger's lyrics and delivery have real urgency and heart.
I've said it before: this should be their last great song.

Easily the best song since the times of the Some Girls album in my opinion. Wish they would release more like it.

It was the first thing that came to mind - that PMS had the same vibe as the slow 1973 live versions of TD.

MT did the lead guitar in 2010 along with MJs new vox.
I really think they did an amazing job rescuing that track.
I wonder if they'd even discussed playing it live. That would have had this board light up like a Christmas tree.

Yeah. The riffage - it's similar. I know they're in different keys. Perhaps the LP version is not as obvious but listen to the live one from SUCKING and you'll understand.
Wicked As Is Strong... ah gimme the lowdowwwwnnnnn.

Yep, "Plundered" is "Tumbling Dice"'s lost cousin, and me thinks the best thing they have released since TATTOO YOU. But, still, I wouldn't quite compare those two songs in quality, since "Dice" is one of the most perfect recordings they ever have done... The song ("Plundered") has that 'magic' the best Stones cuts have. When it was released; it really made the material they had released for years and decades by then to sound rather cheap, thin and pointless.

The first time I heard it, at work on my computer with cheap ear buds...
I could tell within that first opening verse that this song was going to be something special. It had a feel that I can't really describe except to say that it sounded soulful and real. Jagger's voice was free of all the affectations he has so often used post-81.
I had stopped expecting the Stones to move me like that ever again. And they did it. I think its up there with the greats and it will get better and better.
