Just Wanna See His Face. The way it emerges out from under Ventilator Blues. Jazzy, impromptu, gospel perfection; it sets us up perfectly for Let It Loose. A beautiful segue way and a one-of-a-kind slice of Stones magic.
Well I know what you mean, it depends on how you understand underrated. I think that Let It Loose is underrated in a way that the hardcore fans love it, but it isn't as known to the public as it should be. Underrated by the labels to not put it on any compilation and by the band to not play it live. It's a gem that does not get that much attention as it should get, that's why I think it's underrated.Quote

Haven't heard of anyone who doesn't like Let It Loose? How can it be underrated, except by the band themselves?

Though I also love Sweet Black Angel, it sound like sitting at a campfire with the Stones around you playing that song. It has that really intimate feeling
I think the problem with Rocks Off is that it never worked that well live. They try it now and then but the problem in my opinion is that Rocks Off is a Mick and Keith vocal duo song. Even with two background singers it's just not the same.Quote

I'll go out on a limb and say that Rocks Off is the most underrated song by the band themselves. It should have been the leading single off the album. A powerhouse of a rocker, but with clever parts and great dynamics. Fantastic vocals.
They play it on one tour, try it a few times in 1975. Then they wait till 1994 to pick it up again. And after that they only play it sporadically. It should have been a staple in the warhorse-section, imo.

It would have been interesting to hear a good mix of that live take, with the guitars down in the mix and vocals and horns up.
It sounds good.
Sweet Black Angel was the first song The IORR Band played together on stage (during the soundcheck), after we met for the first time, btw. We played it in the show as well

I have a hard time writing about Exile.
All my words are trite and I struggle.
It’s my favorite album.
When I heard ‘Sweet Black Angel’ live for the first time it was a moving experience I’d listened to the recorded track literally, that same track,
Xthousands.
To get it 1972 live with the same horns- golden. That single live track is rare.
‘Let It Loose’ that’s what Jagger does on 1 of his best vocals of all time.
The ? underrated song hmmm
‘Just Want To See His Face’ or
‘Soul Survivor’

Don’t think I’ve ever heard that live version, it’s ambitious. Could have also been played acoustically in the asweet Virginia slot.
Most underrated?: Turd On The Run for me
