Yup...their first live performance of the song was the closest to the album. Still had that groove that's on the studio cut. Every performance since then has been limp. Always sounded disjointed between Keith and Charlie...they never settled on the groove.

A bit of rehearsing (april-may 2015) will do maybe.
What about HIGHWIRE as a second song in 2015? Great lyrics again.
1. ROUGH JUSTICE
2. HIGHWIRE
3. GIMME SHELTER

The song features a clever retooling of the Brown Sugar main riff and is a worthy candidate as a set list mainstay.
If Rough Justice had been written, recorded and released in any year up to and including 1989, it would have been a top 10 hit and the band would be performing it regularly to this day.
The trouble is that the general public did not make it a hit, and radio stations quickly dropped it from playlists.
Consequently, the band seems to have almost completely forgotten about ABB overall, even in rehearsal settings.
The only reason that Streets of Love was brought back on the recent Euro tour was because certain markets there had made it a big hit single, their biggest in any market in over 15 years.
The audience wants what it is universally familiar with, and the band wants excited applause for their efforts rather than impatient lukewarm response. They draw on the energy and enthusiasm of the crowds after all.

Not the main riff, but both of the songs choruses have a somewhat similar structure. In fact, the only real riff in RJ is within the choruses ("Dam, da, da-da-da, it's rough justice on ya" ).
Brown Sugar's chorus: "Dam, da-da-da-da, brown sugar, how come you..."
RJ starts out with boogie chord variations, whilst BS starts with a more distinct riff in open G. But the effect of those intros are similar.

Oh, well I guess that's what I meant to say then. At any rate, the effect on me as a listener is similar.
