I´ve heard a very very failed live botleg version from LSTNT (75/76??) and can´t find it anymore. Can somebody help me with a link. Thanks Regards

you probably mean knebworth

muchas gracias
it´s so bad played, but also good in a way. So you play, when your tounge gets dry.... (staring down her tits)

Dearie dear ! Sounds very like the 81/82 version. Just imagine the outrage if it was played like this now! I had the privilege of seeing them play this from the front row of the podium at the end of the catwalk in Oslo and I thought it was magnificent.

I agree with goldylocks - it's a rollicking roller coaster ride. Super energetic, the guitars are screaming. The problem was that they completely missed the middle breakdown the first time (... well, Keith tried to do it but no one followed him), then the second time they attempted it Mick wasn't ready (he may have assumed they would close out the song without it), and so they didn't really execute the breakdown there, either, they just went back to the chorus. But hey, who cares about minor little details like forgetting entire sections of a song when it comes to rock n' roll?

I enjoyed that, but at the same time a bit of a car wreck.

Yeah, they wouldn't do that now, which is both good and too bad.

Who's got the high voice?

Awesome meltdown! 2 minutes in!

Now I don't feel so bad about my band! Lol!

i've never heard a dad Rolling Stones yet

It's gotta be Billy - you can hear Keith in other parts of the song and I don't think Ronnie could ever hit those notes.

Aye so bad its good!.......Love it.

Knebworth........Would love to have been there.

What a drag it is gettin' old

I love Knebworth and I love this "failed" version. Yes it's car crash and yet it's punk (rock) before Some Girls.

I was there and it was amazing that they even attempted it. First time they'd played it live since 1967. I wonder what else they rehearsed for Knebworth?

My sentiments exactly! Especially when the guitars sound so good :E

I love the Rolling Stones

Damn, I just love them 'failing' so bad... There's absolutely nothing safe and sure there... badass rock'n'roll. Those were the days... professionalism wasn't best virtue back then, thank god..

But altogether that particular phase was an interesting transformation period for the band. There was certain tireness in their doings through European tour, the new stuff from BLACK AND BLUE probably wasn't too inspiring for them and their crowds. At the same time the deconstruction of the early 70's live sound had already started during 1975. They were clearly up to something but weren't quite sure what it is. In Knebworth they sounded liek digging their own past catalogue, but the approach wasn't probably too admiring... The same continued in El Mocambo, which was almost like studying their own roots.

What I try to say that of course punk thing must have been inspiring for them, but I think the process toward SOME GIRLS was already began earlier. SOME GIRLS didn't come out of the blue.

I thought they recovered quite well

It sound great anyway.

oh yes, such a wonderful mess ! it's like my home, it's a mess but well organised !

Knebworth is a fun show to listen too in all its ragged glory. Hott stuff almost derails also.

This kicks ass!

I don't consider it a failed version at all. In fact, it displays an early punk awareness--from the band that pioneered sloppy stage versions of raunchy numbers.

I don't see how it can be considered a 'failed version'... This is better than the watered-down version we get now! The guitars and drums are very good, and Mick's...Mick.

yes, not a failed version at all, just completely shambolic.

It should be remembered that Keith's drugs issues were probably at their worst around this time. The Toronto bust took place a mere 6 months later. A couple of months before this show he famously fell asleep on stage in Germany somewhere (Essen?) whilst playing 'Fool to Cry', then their current single. Delays to showtime were frequent in this era !

Also around the same time he pranged his Rolls Royce in Leighton Buzzard with Anita in the car with him.

Didn't the Knebworth show not begin until extraordinarily late at night ?

Sounds cool

If they could only "fail" so much now...

Wow, some real problems with this one. It's one hot hilarious mess! The lead guitar parts are particularly rough and Mick's voice is terrible. Sounds like a coke head garage band....but I still like it. I like the harder rock approach to this pop tune.

The Rolling Stones showing some true vulnerability, some true human mistakes and some true effects of hard living. peace

it's panic on board from 2:02 to 2:27 but then the boat is on the good wave again.
quite punky version !

The thing is they were so rock 'n' roll back then even their trainwrecks sounded cool and it became part of the Stones.

It's still part of the Stones to sound sloppy, but when you're sounding sloppy with two backup singers, a brass section and Chuck Leavell it's not so cool anymore...
