Did Jimmy Page really play on this and if so, why?? Keith is perfectly capable of playing the opening riff

Jimmy Page played the solo on One Hit (To The Body) because supposedly Ronnie, Jimmy and Keith were hanging out jamming and Page wanted to hear what the Stones were doing so they invited him to do some overdubs. It was done AFTER Live Aid in Manhattan.
Keith does play the opening riff so being "perfectly capable" is moot. Ronnie plays the acoustic intro, Keith the riff.

...I always believed Page did the intro!
Him doing a typical 'Keith'-thing, there, fitted the picture perfectly, to my ears.
that solo is sóóó 'Ronnie', imo; with that chaotic, rattling sound, and all these these nervous, feverish, agressive, 'unnecessary' high notes...
So now it turnes out Page did a perfect 'Ronnie'-thing!
Never too old to learn something new...

Great song! The interaction of the Guitars (weaving?), the acoustic against the electric is perfect

I was at that Concert and the Stones were on fire. I was expecting the same lame performance I saw in 1981 but was really surprised at how well they played. I don't remember them playing One Hit To The Body, but I do remember the Crowd really being into Undercover which I thought was odd.

It's amazing how Keith sometimes can not find the timing. Hilarious, really, considering... and on this one he comes in completely wrong and it never does anything. The song takes a bath.

Page's solos were always my least favorite part of the studio version. It just sounds like noise to me. It's sort of a Ronnie solo, but without Ronnie's sensibility and touch. I'll also have to disagree with just about everyone on this thread so far. I think it sounded pretty good live. I actually prefer that live Toronto version to the album version.

I remember enjoying it when it was played at Shea Stadium in '89. The song is one of my latter day faves by the Stones. LOVE the video, too.

<<I think it's funny we consider a 30 year old song 'latter day stones'.>>
Not really, when you consider that most of their 400+ songs were released by then. Their output in the last 30 years pales in comparison to their first 20. If they had remained as productive as they were in the eighties, an album every 2 or 3 years through to the present day, then we would look upon One Hit as "mid-period Stones".

Listened to those two versions here - the rehearsal one and Toronto - and I can only come to one conclusion: it is not a bad song at all, but just a wrong band! I had the same feeling also with the original studio version that the guys sound a bit lost and forced there, trying something which doesn't come out naturally, but the live versions make that very clear.
Probably had their played more, it might have worked better, but I am skeptical, and understand them very well for dropping the song.

I never understand why a singer would sing during rehearsels at this point. Jagger obviously has it down perfectly so there is no reason to put the 2 hours of wear and tear on your vocals for nothing. I would think they would have a back up singer for that..

Part of their very short "hard rock"-career. It started with the Too Tough-chorus, and ended with this one.
Both are pretty good songs, but I agree with you. Taylor could perhaps have made something out of them, but they were out of their turf here...

I don't know if one Taylor could have taylored it enough to work, since I think the biggest problem lies in the very core of the band (Keith-Charlie-Bill) plus the singer sounds like some karaoke singer having no clue what he is up to... I guess had they given it to some Guns'n'Roses or Bon Jovi to record, we might now have one more 80's rock anthem to get tired of... I mean, with a suitable 'modern' drummer a player like Slash might have easily could have done a better hard-rocked Keith-riff updation in a modern setting (a'la "Black Or White", or what that Jacko's song was called?) than the master himself, and Axl could have cried out loud those lyrics much better home than our Mick.
But kudos for the Stones trying something out of their comfort zone, and trying to update their sound to sound 'current'. It has been long since they tried anything to the effect.
