Sympathy For The Devil (Time For A Rest?)
Date: June 22, 2005 17:23
In my boredom, I have been pondering. Should the boys drop Sympathy for the next tour, or at least play it more sporadically? While it was a joy to hear it on the last tour, I felt they were having problems with it. Ronnie doesn't seem to do a great deal of guitar and after listening to Keith fills on the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tour versions, I can't help but feel he is really struggling. I'd go as far as to say that his solos were quite often feeble on the last tour.
Maybe they should try to recreate the studio version? Despite his dodgy digits, I really don't see why Keith couldn't pull off that 1968 killer solo live.
