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

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 concer
t and 17 songs being played over and over tour after tour.

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...

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.
