Sorry but maybe we have been at different shows. The crowd loves this song and it always gets a massive reaction. I think it was their biggest hit. Even more than satisfaction.
I remember coming out of Hyde Park when thousands of fans singing miss you. Great atmosphere.
I love this song and always will. Same with tumbling dice.

I have not seen much crowd reaction in a long long time. Now you take like HTW. I hear what seems to be the whole crowd singing that song.
And I am not saying HTW is one I like. I just know my last Stones show was Desert Trip weekend 2. Very little crowd singing with Miss You...Nashville on Zip Code Tour....hardly any either. It is to long and been done too too many times...try something new. Ruby Tuesday? or what ever....there are way too many great Stones songs to settle for a 20 song concert and 17 songs being played over and over tour after tour.

To be honest,in the last years i've not seen much crowd reaction generally,not only during Miss You. I don't know if this is because of the avarage age that is not that low,but it's really boring seeing people almost staring during the gig, apart for argentinian or spanish audience.
Phones and other mobile media are killing real life experiences.
I do wonder if perhaps European audiences are different based on these comments. My impression at Hyde park was that it was a very popular song and got the crowd really going.
That said, I sometimes wonder if the audience are actually watching the gig at all looking at the clips and number of people using their phones! Makes me miss the old lighter in the air days.

With all the Miss You bashing going on around here I thought I'd start a MY appreciation thread for all people who love this masterpiece as much as me!
I read comments of people calling it the toilet break song and that the Stones should drop it. That's so much negativety. In fact MY is not just one of the greatest RS songs - it's one of the greatest songs ever written! I could do a concert without YCAGWYW or PIB but if they would not play MY these days I would be hugely disappointed! It has one of the catchiest melodies ever (I bet every Stones fan has an earwig of it once in a while) and when the whole stadium joins during the singalong part it sounds almost like an anthem. And because MY is such an awesome song Some Girls became the greatest selling album of the band in the US. MY is able to turn a whole stadium into a nightclub for seven or eight minutes. I often wish it could last a bit longer. It's a pity they don't play it as long anymore as in the '90s.
Also Miss You is one of the few songs that profits from being played a bit slower just as they do it since Hamburg. While some other songs tend to drag a bit (HTW for example), Miss You sound even more sexier and groovier.
The only thing that bothers me a bit these days is that Mick does not shout anymore "EYYYY! WHAT'S THE MATTA MAN? WE'RE GONNA COME AROUND ABOUT TWELVE WITH SOME PUERTO RICAN GIRLS THAT ARE DYYYYING TO MEET YA!!!" but sings it rather quietly. But that's also the case with other songs...

Great studio song - the first 1000 or so times I heard it. In fact, me and mu friends all went nuts when it first came out.
Never really worked live for me. (The 1978 versions sound great though).
I think this is the opinion of many - although some just hate the disco vibe of the song.

I love the song....when I hear it on the radio I turn it up...it is a great song
It was great live in the 80's
It is now a buzz killer live...it is tired....the crowd does not participate in the sing along stuff much at all anymore ...it is way to long and needs to be DROPPED
Add 2 songs in its place.

Always loved it - both studio and live. 
I mentioned this regarding Midnight Rambler (and obviously that's an entirely different vibe), but when Miss You is played live there's the opportunity for some improv which is missing from most all of the other tunes being played live these days. The only negative I can think of is Darryl's bass solo, but he seems to be enjoying himself and it's the one time he can show his chops. Rather hear him do it on Miss You than Emotional Rescue - those live performances were horrible and embarrassing.

Sorry but maybe we have been at different shows. The crowd loves this song and it always gets a massive reaction. I think it was their biggest hit. Even more than satisfaction.
I remember coming out of Hyde Park when thousands of fans singing miss you. Great atmosphere.

I always liked the song, especially the bridge and the sax solo.
Soundwise the whole album is perfect.
And I LOVE the 10+ minutes outtake...pure magic.

its a good song and after a few beers it sounds great, but miss you is no where near the level of so many other stones songs.
i agree the stone have made so many great songs for them to choose the same 17 every gig for years.

Nothing wrong with the song. The Stones best take on disco. But since it became a warhorse it also started to become boring. And it was a while since disco was on the table.

It was nice in 1989-90 because it was different. Since then it's been drab and way too long.
The studio version is stellar, of course, so perhaps the title of the thread should be specific - The Miss You Live Appreciation Thread seems to be more what it's about than the LP version, right?

Miss You is one of their most important songs. It's in the same category as Satisfaction, Jumping Jack Flash, and Start Me Up. Miss You revived them as a relevant band. They hadn't had a world wide smash since Angie in '73. It was much better of course, when Bill played on it live, but even today it's a real crowd pleaser, especially for the women. I'd rather they drop Sympathy and Tumbling Dice.

What a great thread! My MY story goes like this: when I am away from home (call it "vacation") I have my own personal soundtrack with me. Either on my headphones - or simply in my head. Strange? That´s what the doctors at Arkham Asylum think as well... When I spent parts of my honeymoon trip in NYC in 2012, one afternoon my wife was too tired to walk around any more that day, so I went by myself. No headphones, Manhattan in August, afternoon time. The beat and groove and swing in my head in that very special situation came from two sources. One was the debut album from Vintage Trouble, the other one was MY, I wouldn´t want to miss that experience!
Live I like it a lot as a song, but not quite that much as a part of the show. In Werchter on the 2014 tour in Europe in found myself lip-syncing MJs whole talk ("...sometimes I wanna play the bass just like Darryl..."), word by word. Not very unpredictable, for it was only my fourth show on that tour.
I take my p... break during another classic, cannot tell which one. Some here would tar and feather me...
But I´ll be flying to JFK tomorrow. Vacation. Guess what´s in my head...
I´ll be back for "Edinburgh".

Is this thread about the recent live version or the studio track???
I guess it is about the recent live version.
I think 99.9% would agree that the studio track is a classic.
It also seems that the consensus is that the live versions of the past 15 years aren't a favorite. Bass solo, long extended performances.
I love the tightness of the original album track, and even the remix they did back in 1978.
It's a raw, rough track that needs to be played like that. I am not sure why it doesn't sound good live on recent tours. Even the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tour gave us a less playful, less rough Miss You.
The same can be said about Start Me Up. It was never as good live as the studio track. Billy Gibbons said this about Start Me Up: it’s very difficult to find the downbeat in the intro until they finally kick it in. So true. Perhaps this downbeat is missing in some of the live versions?
Anyway, this thread is a bit pointless. Nobody hates the original Miss You. And yes, in recent years it drags on and on. It's still catchy, but that's not good enough to make a song work, and not enough to do justice to the original cut.

You're right on both counts, Frenki! Even more so on Start Me Up. Which is a pity since Start Me Up is their latest smash hit. Still played frequently in sports arenas around the world. They have never made justice to it live.

It was a highlight in Stockholm last year, I love the extended bass and sax solos.
I really want to see it in London on Friday!
