I like the song a lot, I really like the lyrics, but regarding the question "so what's wrong with that" …..maybe it's already been pointed out in this thread(?)
"I was a pitcher down in a slump"
Makes me smile, the lyricist is British after all.
In Major League Baseball, batters get into slumps, pitchers don't.
No announcer or knowledgeable fan would ever say that the "pitcher is in a slump"

So what´s wrong with that:
I was a butcher cutting up meat
My hands were bloody, I'm dying on my feet
I was a surgeon till I started to shake
I was falling but you put on the break
I was a pitcher down in a slump
I was a fighter taken for a sucker punch
I'm feeling bad, guess I lost my spring
I was the boxer who can't get in the ring
I was a hooker losing her looks
I was a writer, can't write another book
I was all dried up, dying to get wet
I was a tycoon drowning in debt
Very fine lyrics.

What about a cricket pitcher?

One of the few modern Stones songs that is played on stage on a semi-regular basis is unfortunately one of their worst from the era. Flat and uninspired. When it is played at their gig, I feel, “tonight is off”, “a miss”, “I’m lost” etc. I wish their choice from VL was Love Is Strong instead.

No such animal. Cricket balls are bowled, by bowlers.

Hands down in my top 10 favorite Stones songs. My favorite latter day rocker for sure. Haven't gotten to see them play it live yet but hope so one day. I love the main riff Keith plays on here. Anybody have a favorite live version? I personally love the version from Rio de Janeiro in 2006. Absolutely rocking!!

So early in the show?

They did it live too often, and Mick just 'talks' the lyrics as if he just wants to get it over with. This always makes me think I don't like it, but then if I go back to the studio version, it is pretty damn good!

2002-03 saw pretty good tight and errr... rocking versions (imo). Back in 94 (after a few months of touring) and in 95 IGWild locked in a groove that was tasty (imo again).

There is, perhaps, a contradiction here. The song is a bit cliché. Stones by numbers. But they seem to have a natural feel for it. They are very comfortable with it and deliver it better,
and more seamless, live than some other songs. Always in the first part of the setlist.

The thing is, which I mentioned earlier, that YGMR is their premier post 1981 (TY) song. In fact it's their 15th most played song live ever. The only post 81 song on their 20 most played, live, list.
Out of all material post Tattoo You they have chosen this one as their favorite. That's a fact...

There are many post TY-songs that are way superior. However, are there really any songs post 81 with a better 'stadium chorus'? Add that to the fact that they love to play it, and we might have the reason.

Uhhhh... I love scream grunting AH FLIP THE SWITCHH just how Mick grunts it out live!
Does that count?
Or screaming SAD! SAD! SAD!? That's gotta count! They played that in New Orleans last year. It was solidly good.
