Oh COOL! Never heard past the point on the single!!! That's killer.
I enjoy this version as well!!
I have the other 3 at all of mine but not TD. I don’t mind it being skipped and wouldn’t mind it more if they replaced it with some other lesser played gems on the album.
Great, thanks! Nice to hear that Jagger's guitar in the right channel is actually quite important for the total sound of the track. It's much more important that I thought it was.

Totally agree.
Mathijs
Yes. Gives it a cleaner, jangly texture that you don't notice until you *notice*.
I think I have to agree. Even the '72 tour live versions pale in comparison to the studio track. The opening guitar makes the track and has never been duplicated live.

The studio version is great, but Brussels 1973 (1st show) is far, far better. Their best rendition ever.
Mathijs
I think integral parts of the song are the „you got to roll me“ gospel vocals and the double tracked drums. Both elements are missing from live versions
The later live versions are cool because the needed backing vocals are there and Ronnie’s b bender adds another element to the song which gives it a more country feel

If I have time I will. I've been focusing on guitars. There are a couple bass tracks I want to share too.
Yup.

You're welcome.
I'll have a lot of time early next week to post some things.
Double tracked drums? In what part of the song? No Stones song has ever had double tracked drums.
Talk about your favorite band.

It is a great version of a great song. I love it that it is still in the set list every night (almost). I also like the vibe of the LYL version:

Of course the video with (nearly) all band members is staged, but warming up like this with Chuck is part of Mick's backstage routine. I witnessed them doing other stuff boogie-woogie style like "All Down The Line" - goosebumps all the way!

Oh my god I thought I know it all. And then I found this today:
TUMBLING DICE ( PIANO VERSION )
A part of this was used on the rendition of Tumbling Dice on the 1996 Wild Horses single, edited together with the Paris 1995, March 7, version.
All I found is that this was part on a interactive CDrom-addition of the first Stripped-CDs.
Hell, I want the complete take as an audio, love it so much. Has anybody any idea if this is on some boot or else?
Oh COOL! Never heard past the point on the single!!! That's killer.

I was just looking at all the songs I've seen the Stones sing live. 260 songs total, 95 different songs, 4 played at every show, one of which is Tumbling Dice (along with Jumping Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Woman, and Start Me Up).

I wonder if they were inspired by Proud Mary. The rhythm, the ”but baby, I can’t stay” - section and the lyrical hook. Mind you, inspired by, not lifted.

What can you tell me about this version of Tumbling Dice at 3:50 of this video? I have no idea about it. Is it a version found on a bootleg recording? Is it just a cover by another band? I really like it but I have no idea about it.

It's an outtake (early version of Good Time Woman), released on the Crossfire Hurricane video, together with some other rarities.

I wouldn't be surprised if all of the guitars in the coda are Richards.

They've never done it well live, and so sadly as a result for a lot of fans it isn't respected as much as it should be. But if you go back and listen to the studio track, it's perfect. The drumming, the vocals (esp the female vocals), the words, the riff... this is the rolling stones, rolling.
I think I have to agree. Even the '72 tour live versions pale in comparison to the studio track. The opening guitar makes the track and has never been duplicated live.

I love the Brussels Version (the original bootleg one), but the recorded studio version is indeed perfection, everything that I love about the funky, swampy, slightly-melancholy Stones.

Thanks TravelinMan. I love the vox in the 70s Stones - doubled up, harmonies, whispers etc. Can't wait to hear some (and those bass ones!) when you have time.
All About You has incredible backup vox
Thanks for your work!

Double tracked drums? In what part of the song? No Stones song has ever had double tracked drums.
