Anyone think EOMS would not be as good if they had finished the songs that were from the France sessions that came out in 2010 - Pass The Wine, I'm Not Signifying, Plundered My Soul and Following The River?
I think Pass The Wine, Signifying and Plundered would've fit just fine.
Pass The Wine & Signifying are strong tracks, yeah. Plundered is a TD variation, Following is a 90's Jagger ballad with '71 backing tracks - wouldn't have fit I think, maybe on Voodoo Lounge.

It's unfortunate that something good wasn't put in place of the horrendous Following The River. That is pure tripe.

Sides 1 & 2 are perfection IMO while side 4 is fairly mediocre – they should’ve saved All Down The Line for Goat’s Head – it’s slightly less boring than Silver Train, but only slightly. A totally overrated tune IMO. Stop Breaking Down and Soul Survivor are weak efforts, period. Shine A Light deserved better but the released version is too sterile. That raw outtake with the raspy Jagger vocal is far superior. Side 3 has lots of goodies but I’m sorry – as much as I wanna buy the slightly pretentious argument that every song is integral to the album(in fact I myself have put forward the same argument on occasion because it sounds so cool), if I’m honest with myself I Just Wanna See His Face could’ve been a few minutes shorter or blotted out. I think that promo song Jagger did on piano could’ve been a better segue into Let It Loose.
While I don't agree with the main sentiment of this post, I think this is an interesting , thought provoking take on side 4. I "kind of agree" with some of it though. You do start to sense a drop off in Quality, like there wasn't as much focus on EOMS. But it somehow ended up being great anyways, enough to put it on the same level as the previous three albums.. That's part of what makes it so cool.
Also, I think that's an interesting take on ADTL. It's one of my favorites though.

All Down The Line is one of those songs that best shows the incredible swing the Stones were capable of producing with Mick Taylor in the band. It's a kinetic power very few bands were able to emulate.

All Down the Line has such power and drive, it's absurd that anyone could put 'boring' in a description of it.

For me it's one of their ultimate rockers - one of those songs that pops up now and again in the request spot these days that really generates excitement in the set.

I love Following the River. I can figure what people don't like about it.

Sorry to interrupt the ADTL bashing/praisal. I am all in favor of the almost-flat intro guitar, chugga chugga rhythms, splendid slide work and insane backing vocals
A momentary lapse back to "Following the River".
I find it easy to understand why people criticize it. Its syrup-y and slick, but what can I say - the romantic in me still enjoys it.
I would really like to hear the original and naked Hopkins track(-s) though, but I am thankful we got "Following". Without it I think we would have nothing at all: the solo piano-piece probably is just a Hopkins composition and without the Jagger vocals it would be left in the vaults forever.
And choosing between nothing and "Following" is rather simple. Just listening to the timber of the tone in Hopkins piano is enough to love it. IMHO.
Speaking of Hopkins´contributions.
It is said Hopkins did his work at Nellcote in the basement.
I have only seen the upstairs grand piano (featured in many images) and the basement el- piano (the one Jagger plays). Never the upright (I assume) he did this track on.
Any comments, input?

Actually I think Nicky's on two tracks. Some of it was done at Olympic, not just RCA with Jack.

Well, Nico (among others) think it's Nicky. I suppose it's hard to know if it's just speculation. Just out of curiosity, why are you certain it isn't?
