When Mick is playing guitar is he actually playing anything?

Did they play in in '89/90? This is another number that Bill is really important on.

My first Stones gig was Philadelphia '78 at JFK. I dont remember many things anymore. But I do remember that 'Imagination" rocked. It went on and on, and I really felt like I went to another plain during the song. ( I was also pretty loaded)
My 1st Stones show too.
And I clearly remember the great vibe that went through the stadium during that number. After all the waiting, the rain, the pushing & shoving I remember how good they sounded. A plane passed overhead during the 1st guitar break and I turned around and looked back and saw 90,000 fans swaying to a Motown cover that was barely a week old.
While that show had problems (they messed up a great version of Respectable halfway through, Foreigner played too long, rain, no security, etc,), the show had plenty of high points like Just My Imagination.

Is there any audio from that Mexico show?

Nothing holds a candle to the nearly 10 minute 1981 Hampton version. Keith and Ronnie would not let Mick end the song, they just kept jamming. A solid rocking version. I've yet to hear anything that rivals it.

He's just playing A & D open chords during parts of the song. The verse & chorus just rocks back and forth between those 2 chords.
Very simple, but helps drives the rhythm a bit while Ronnie & Keith play little riffs and different voicings (variations) of the chords.
You can see & hear it here:

I think he said at one of the 1978 shows when he strapped on his guitar, " Keith said I can play this if I play quietly."

Oh wow. I was not expecting Prince (MN fan). His vocal, breathtaking. What a range.
ETA: I'd never heard that before. Unbelievable.
