The band was never tighter or more professional...Ronnie and especially Keith were on point, playing with some real precision and showing off lead chops.

WOW. I've read this before but this is the first time I listened to it. How many times did they actually perform it this way in '89?
That's the one thing that I dislike about the Steel Wheels tour...it is so painfully '80s. I really don't like watching Live At the Max because of how dated the show is visually.Quote

I don't know anything about this tour other than I think it's the one with the stupidest Mick hair ... but I listened to four or five songs from the Toronto show linked above ... and man that is some truly woeful shit. I take it they got somewhat better as the tour went on?
Yeah, I obviously love all incarnations of the band for different reasons, but a little professionalism and polish, especially at the stage they were at in their career at that point, was NOT a bad thing.Quote

I know a lot of people who followed the Stones preferred the raunchier, sloppier versions from earlier tours and tended to view the Steel Wheels tour as being slick and over-produced I was not one of those. I thought that this was one of the best versions of the band. They were tight, professional and their live songs-for the first time-actually sounded like their studio counterparts. THe two shows I saw in Syracuse, NY on that tour were great.

5. "Can you hit me one time" Satisfaction breakdown
Can you imagine how stuck in time THAT tour would look today had it occurred? I can't imagine what gaudy neon stage and inane Reagan-era fashion that would have been on display for that one.Quote

If they had toured in 1986, it would have been the heavy metal tour, which would have been the fashionable bandwagon to jump on then -- Mick with his extra long tour hair like in the One Hit video, the guitars extra loud and shrill to prove that they could match the worst of the hair metal bands of the time. I suppose we should be glad that tour never happened. The 1989 SW/UJ tour wouldn't have had the same impact.
