Should be a thread on its own. Hmmmm. I'm sure that one could drag His Majesty back out of early retirement. Heh heh.

This song is yet another that shows the Stones uniquely signature style despite being a departure from their normal type of music. When I first heard this on the radio, I knew from just the sound of the guitar riff at the beginning that this was something new from the Stones! Good stuff.

It does sound like Bill.

Ronnie has played that part since 1989. If we are talking about the guitar riff, that is
It's masterfully both bluesy and psychedelic, btw. Brilliant stuff.

Yeah, I was pretty sure of that. It sure was amazing to hear this done right in front of my face at Shea Stadium in 1989; the first time the Stones ever attempted a song like this live, and they pulled it off in great form. I had very good seats on the floor, maybe fifteen rows back. The lights and visuals were also breathtaking on this song!

It was my first Stones show in Oslo, 1990. I was blown away when they started this one. Absolutely wonderful.

I'm sure it did! My first introductions to seeing the Stones live were the rough and ragged-but rocking 1978 and 1981 tours, so my expectations were based on that....Never expected the Stones to attempt a number like Light Years on stage. Of course I didn't expect to hear them replicate studio arrangements of anything although I'd heard rumours...The whole "garage band" era vs. the "modern era." I know it's been comprehensively discussed on other threads....

COTM did not exist at the time of TSMR being released.
They started it at the very last session for TSMR.

Yes, as a long time Stones fan, I'm somewhat embarrassed to say I was never sure if opening riff was done on a bass or regular guitar. All I knew when I first heard that followed by Charlie's initial drum fills that it was the Stones. In the modern era, doesn't Ronnie play that part?

I've always considered psychedelia as just noise. Unlistenable at that, mostly. The Stones certainly achieved that with TSMR in places. The use of "different" instruments is not a qualifier for the Stones being psychedelic.
