Hampton is perfection for me.

I'm not even that keen on the song, but love the live Hampton version. For me it's the Stones at their raw, rocking best. Love those loud, fast guitars

The vast majority of Jagger’s live vocal performances are bad, embarrassingly bad, when compared to the studio versions but as a young man the bootleg shows were magic to me. But the magic didn’t last, at least not for their live performances. In other words, I’ve heard enough. I don’t understand why long-time fans who have heard Brussels, Hampton, all the bootlegs etc. countless times feel the need to revisit them. The studio recordings are far superior. Now I can understand watching Ladies and Gentlemen or CS Blues or even the horrendous version of Shattered on Saturday Nite Live because the performances of that era are riveting but I would never think of merely ‘listening’ to a Rolling Stones concert these days.

There is no such thing! Seriously, I cannot see what anyone sees/hears in this track. A monotonous dirge. To each their own, but to me this is one of The Stones worst ever releases!

Rhythm, groove, a cool sound and observant lyrics?

I can find more of all this on tracks like Fingerprint File, Hot Stuff, Hey Negrita and countless others.

Hampton remains one of my favorite ever live tracks by the Stones. Pure perfection.
