That version of MY is not a train wreck; it's not like it's riddled with mistakes or anything. It's just that MY live has become way too slick, perfection at the expense of feeling. The studio version was a masterpiece. Much more than disco, it also had elements of soul, blues, and rock mixed in. It made you feel something. In 1978 and 1981 it had some magic on stage. Since Steel Wheels, like a lot of things, it lost it's feel to the harsh master of perfectionism. Some songs just suffer when a band tries too hard to recreate the studio version. Just my opinion but many Stone songs have lost something at the altar of studio replication.

Even when they do seem to put some work into a warhorse at rehearsals it seems to misfire. What I love about the original version are those harmonies. One of the few times the Stones stacked some beautiful vocals on top of each other. And it is THEIR vocals too. With all the firepower on stage they can't seem to get even close today.
Another is the Bass. W/o getting into a DJ debate, his sound doesn't have the warmth. They try to take a short-cut, and jst get the Bass issue out of the way by adding a Bass solo. IAW Rollin92 to Bass solo.

Bass solos do not belong in Stones songs. I think when Daryl does it, as technical as it is, it sounds out of place and tacky.

Well indeed he did a harp solo in the middle part but thats not what i talked about. Jagger plays rythm guitar where he could play the sugar blue harp

For me, it has been since VOODOO LOUNGE. I love the song, but they don't do it justice. For it to work, I need to hear guitars carrying the song with the keyboards. For 23 years it's been Chuck's big moment with Keith and Ronnie playing around the edges. Keith did the same when Paul Shaffer played it at the 9/11 benefit. It's a real shame. I loved the song in 1978-1990. It used to be a highlight of the set. Mick and Charlie still give it their all and so does Darryl, but it just isn't the same without guitars. The Rolling Stones are supposed to be a guitar band. You wouldn't always know that on stage.
