I think I might just agree with that.
It's kind of a cross between the steam roller stadium arrangements and the original cut...and it works very well for me too..
That is fantastic.
Except for 1994 it's a song they've always played fantastically. Arguably with myself my favorite live version is the MSG 2003 one, which is on... LICKED LIVE IN NYC (and oddly not on LIVE LICKS, which is a rather strange choice to be the edited Twickenham performance on FOUR FLICKS).
At 3:57 Charlie reads Keith... it's subtle.
Mick has had better singing in the past, going high, getting those raging notes, but overall (the one goof Keith had has been fixed) this is stellar. Hilarious ending... it just calmly falls apart.
Which is a complete bullshit story from keith, just as about all his stories are bullshit.

In 1981 I had a little radio show on Radio Plus; I called it "ROLLMOPS".

Silly nickname but it symbolises lot of good times to me so I keep it. That is the story Big Al. I am a chef and I don't really like the sweetness, creaminess with salty herring filets.

The name is of German origin, but pickled herring is eaten in just about entire Europe: East, West, Scandinavia. In Italy, Greece and Spain they pickle anchovies and sardines instead of herring.
Fantastic with salads, and with beer on a hot afternoon.

Ordinarily I'd say, "stay on topic" but what a pleasant left turn.
I think we should create an O/T culinary thread.
Hey hey! I thought that the Spanish boquerones were also avialable in Italy....I remember eating them at the Amalfi coast, with almonds and vermentino.
The Italian scapece, carpione and saor are indeed not pickling but mainly adding vinagar while cooking.
I stand corrected my dear Liddas!
Mathijs
At approximately 3:57 Keith makes a change in his rhythm and does a rhythmic vamp that Charlie picks up on - and he acknowledges it with two taps on the hi-hat - but if one is not paying attention it's probably not noticeable.
Talk about your favorite band.

A classic, and a perfect opener, imo. A song that the band still play excellently.
However, the best live version I've heard is the one from Stripped.

A killer tune, Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out version with Mick Talor remains unsurpassed, as Taylor maintains an incredible rhythmic tension with Keith without ever wavering.
Unfortunately, Ronnie rarely does this.

“Cause summer’s here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy”
An all-time fav rock ‘n roll song, and one that’ll remain relevant as long as humanity exists I imagine

Nothing tops the Taylor live performances.As to the one on Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out, I prefer the one from another MSG 1969 show.The one seen in the movie Gimme Shelter where Mick shouts “ We gotta go”, at the end.Quote

I will link this song with the extended songs thread.
It has the best outro live and some of the jams at the end are the best jams they have.
Look at the end of Bussels. They were at the peak of their golden years.

Nothing tops the studio version, opening side-two of Beggars Banquet. For me, there's something 'off' about the U.S. single-mix, available on the 'London Years' release.
Live-wise, any Taylor-era rendition will do.

The most amazing thing about SFM is that Keith got the beat of the "Pinpon-pinpon"
from the police cars in France. Keith, a real artist/alchemist,turns ugly into beauty; what a genius!!!

Ha! How wrong I was; although isn't it a coincidence that you do happen to be a chef. It isn't entirely unsurprising that you may not like the food, 'rollmops' It's certainly an acquired taste. Oh, and I was incorrect about the origin: it's German, apparently.

I think my hot take on this song is that this is maybe the only track I prefer live post-Wyman. The 1969-73 versions and the 1990 versions are too fast and lean. The song works best when it has some weight to it, like a marching stampede coming in at full force.
My two favorite versions are Twickenham 2003 (which has the speed of the 1970s' version but sounds much tighter and purposeful) and Kansas City 2015 (a lean, mean version with the guitars cranked and Mick at full throttle).
The 2017 versions are also very good. I never liked it as an opener, this one and JJF are best when they extend it a bit and let Keith go off.
