I finally heard it. It is laughable; no doubt the most rediculous thing the Rolling Stones have ever done; absolute crap.

The new 19th?
Listen again.

ouh la !

I listened again. It still makes me laugh. They turned one of the top five songs they ever recorded into a pitiful joke.

maybe you have nervous breakdown

To each his own

You´re right as so often, Erik.
But maybe they should call the new, flegmatic
yet cocky version "20th Nervous Breakdown"....
I just wish people could stop comparing 1960´s & 70s
with what we have now. It´s a new dress, that´s all.
They still could play the original song if they and we want.

i admit I prefer the previous version played in 97.
this new one is a bit surprising but finally ok with me

The Re-made version isnt bad..but i still prefer the 97 version also...
just doesnt have the same feeling to it...

They tried the same thing with It's All Over Now years ago and every time I hear that it makes me think 'what the heck were these boys thinking?' I don't remember which tour that was. It's like an April Fool's joke or something. McCartney tried the same thing in the early 1990's with Can't Buy Me Love. That one didn't work too well either, but at least his has a nice bouncy Cajun rhythm.

They played It's All over Now in '94/'95 wicj i thought was a great version.

I only heard the new version of '19th...' yesterday and I was surprised at how great it sounded and how well it worked! They really updated it and it sounded fantastic! I'd love to get this on boot....

Also, as Wuudy said, the VL tour opener of IAON, was inspired and a top version to boot!

I really dig it. You're allowed to bash it all you want but I REALLY dig it. My only complaint was that Daryl (who is normally flawless and I have nothing but mad props for) seemd to play the final bass part doubletime. He should have stuck to Charlie's cadence better.

mick whipped this crap up , im glad i got some great 97 versions thou

Wuddy: I was not talking about the 94-95 versions of It's All Over Now. The one they re-arranged in a strange way was much earlier than that (maybe 1973). Help me out Gazza.

BOBM: You don't need Gazza. The It's all over now version you're talking about was from a show at Honolulu Sports Center January 21st 1973. And it's absolutely GREAT! I love that version.
As far as 19th is concerned I heard it at MSG some weeks ago, and it rolled and it rolled and it rolled.. FANTASTIC!
I love that they are creative about some old songs, and not just making new ones. And for a fact they are constantly making new ajustments to all the warhorses as well. Just compare, let's say Satisfaction, over the years. It's very very different at some of the tours. The tempo, tha things Keith plays, and so on. It's what makes the songs feel fresh, even after 25 - 30 years.

maybe someone can set up a link here so everyone can hear this version?

The version of Its All Over Now on that benefit concert (same one with Route 66 etc...) I believe it was the Nicaraguan benefit show that you're refering to BOBM... that version is KILLER. Like a rollicking berry tune. The voodoo version was hoping. Jagger was skipping all over the stage on that one. But on the version from 73 that you're talking about, it kindof sounded like a slowed down version of @#$%&. Killer stuff.

could not disagree more. one of the coolest things they've ever done on stage. they ruined this song in '97 when they'd tried to stick with the original arrangement - they were smart to come up with something new - this absolutely cooks bigtime!

I am all for them rearranging old songs but I don't like this one. It is slow and boring and adds nothing to the original IMO.

I love the fact that they're trying rework an older song like this and whether you love it or hate it (I happen to really like it), they should be applauded for trying it. Dylan does even more radical reworkings to his old songs live and it keeps it interesting. 19th Nervous Breakdown, Mother's Little Helper and other songs from that period are dated and doing them just like the record 40 years later doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
