One of the best songs the ABB-sessions have produced. It´s a pity that it isnt on the album. Very good song indeed and Mick´s vocal performance is outstanding brilliant. Who says the Stones havent written a great song in decades? Listen to THIS. Under The Radar is perfect, a real treat.

Haven't hear this one for ages, and no recollections, so it felt like listening a brandnew Stones song...
Well, something positive - usually they recicle the A-side of that groundreaking 1968 single, so it is nice to hear a glimpses of B-side...
But but... pretty difficult to find a song from their catalog that is so uninspired and half-baked as this one (and there is no shortage for that from the last 30 years or so). Can sounding like the Rolling Stones be so damn dull?. Boring as hell - and I am sure they realized that as well. I can understand why it didn't make the original album - not that there was any hard competition... (they released almost anything, right)
Hearing things like this doesn't make the expectations too high for the upcoming album... (but the 'song' gives a rather good indication why they hadn't been too eager to hit the studio for ten years or so...)

Useless and boring song.

A glorious latter-day Stones track, and easily one of their best from the past 25 years. Those sustained, bluesy guitar chords are a thing of beauty. The lyrics are cutting and hilarious at the same time. Jagger’s sneering vocal is delightful.
Under the Radar takes me away from all my worldly cares and sets me free. Why they decided to leave this baby off of A Bigger Band is completely beyond me.

Plus We don't want to go Home, two numbers that should have been included. Both fun Stones rockers

We don't want to go Home should have been included? This is where you and I must part ways, my friend.

Neither should have released in any form - as many of the tracks that actually made the album... But then again, that is just me, and I don't need to listen them (and I won't)...

The «original» (Child Of The Moon) was written in 1968, though...

I wouldn't recommend getting your hopes to high...
I never went out and got A Bigger Bang Deluxe... I'm pretty sure I never heard the song before today... After reading some of the posts above, I did a search on youtube... I pressed pause at 1:28 and haven't felt the need to finish the song though there is a chance as it's still there in the browser window... Safe to say I'm falling on the side of the discussion which feels there's not much special in the tune... Glad others like it though!
Peace,

I got it. I was bored. I enjoyed the interviews and Keith's gargantuan moment of lying bullshit about liking Streets Of Love!

And yet... they managed to put something worse than Under The Radar on the album, the horrendous Sweet Neo Con. One of many bad decisions by Jagger. Not amazing anymore.
