Honky Tonk Woman, only because before 1975 it was probably the best song, but in my opinion the Stones never played it well again.
This reminds of a funny faux pas I once made, at a wedding about 20 years ago a friend of mine danced his wedding dance to HTW, in my drunken state I mentioned to the brides mother that it was a song about a hooker, as you can imagine this didnt go down well.
Miss You and Tumbling Dice I can hate one day and love another day. Well hate is not the right word. They have ups and downs vs. my mood. When I get them in concert they are great every time. But listening to them on bootleg is some times boring. Don't know why.
I have the same problem with satisfaction for a couple of years now, most of the time when i hear it on a bootleg i skip it, but when i see them performing it live or on dvd, it`s get me. Strange but true.
Miss You, Satisfaction... Tired of those ones... Miss You is far to long and no rocker or a good ballad, its disco.... Satisfaction is also out played!
But "Miss You" sounds great when people sing it after the show. Like waiting for 1 1/2 hours at Leuven train station for the train to leave for Brussels after the Werchter shows. Or after any other show. Some things just stick in your mind. I sing it after every show. It's just great!
Tumbling Dice is THE quintessential Stones and RnR song IMO. I was just listening to the Fenway boot. If JJF is a rock anthem... then TD is a "roll" anthem. I love the final guitar notes from Keith, they sound so incredible sweet, so full filled. Great song!

If You Can't Rock Me although hate is a little too strong. This song sounds like a great rocker on first impressions but like most songs off It's Only Rock 'N' Roll it rings hollow after just a few listens.
Mixed Emotions needs a modern re-do.This is a very good song ruined by the 80's sound.I wish they would play it just a few times this tour if for nothing else,to give us a better sounding version to listen to.
Definitly HTW... (But its not the Stones“ fault, its all geeks playing air guitar at early Friday or Saturday night shows "Guess than song/Sing-a-long @#$%& shit"...) But then I listen to the latest available version (Fenway) or Brussels Affairs, and thinkin "Well, this r-o-c-k-s!"...
Well, 2 songs that i don't hate now, it's just that they seem very "tame" and not very musically interesting compared to what they did after, I guess...
