There is nothing bad about the Glastonbury version.
I felt proud they could still pull it off like that when I first saw it.

The best thing about the 2014 versions is how Dave Natales pushes Keith's guitar up after every chorus.
'I'm jumpin jack flash it's a gas gas gas - BADABAM!!! BADABAM!!!'
Absolutely great!

Too bad he makes the snare sound like a tom that hasn't been rung out! On a positive, I give thanks for the same deal on Sympathy. Keith hits that opening riff and having it at a proper loud volume is great. I just wish he'd leave both Ronnie and Keith at that volume for the whole show. I wonder if its in Dave's contract that he is never allowed to mix Ronnie louder than 60% of Keith's volume, aside from the occasional solo.

72/73 is crap compared to the original. Toggle switching and barking. Pfft!
That's Taylor toying, I like it, the heat of the moment. They rape that song, no church choir. That's the Stones on dope
You like Taylor

"Welcome to the breakfast show" works for me. For my taste the '69 performances show the band at its sexiest. The performances were confident, effortless and almost restrained. The SAL version found the band working way too hard for opening song excitement. Despite the effort or perhaps because of the effort the performance feels flat and way too long. The performance feels ponderous.
My favourite version as well. It may be a little bit out of tune, but who cares. It swings, it has the groove, here's a band just playing, not at work. Then those short solos to finish it. Way better than the Ya Ya's version. I also prefer it to the studio version.

That GIMME SHELTER version, or at least the way they played it on the 1969 tour, is the best, in my opinion - better than the studio version even. The version on GYYYO! is pretty damn good even with the stupid vocal overdubs.
They've not played it with swagger (nor has it been sung with swagger) even remotely close to 1969 since, and with exception to 1978 being pretty damn good, they've played it either as fast as possible or as long as possible and sometimes both. It's lost its essence of being a in your face rock song and has turned into some kind of anthem. In a going to the dentist and having teeth pulled kind of way.

What people should remember from the 1969 tour was the fact that when the Stones hit the stage most of us had no clue as to what they would play given the fairly long interlude of being away from touring in the States, and having a massive catalogue to draw from. Many of us had kind of grown up with the Stones from being just very young kids, so this was for many that post here the first time to go out and see/hear this band we loved without mom and dad telling us to turn down the music.

IMHO, the last time the Stones played Jumpin' Jack Flash with any bite or balls has been since the Steel Wheels tour.

The stop and re-start thing they did in 78 was genius!

I said ~YEAH~!
Great, great, great.
Which, of course, does not mean I think of other versions as not being the real deal,
but this one is sure up there in the pantheon of JJF's.
