They tried to do this song live, at least in rehearsal, fairly recently. They can't pull it off anymore. They're too slow. I remember in 2005 they did Get Off of My Cloud and it sounded like a waltz. Face it, they've aged past many of their numbers.

The run of UK singles from The Last Time - Honky Tonk Women is grade A stuff.
Have You Seen... is a bit meh, but still 65 - 69 is wow!
Brown Sugar belongs in there really, but it was on an album so I don't include it.

The case of "Satisfaction" is a bit different since it is their 'signature song' as Jagger has admitted - so they have to play it (even though they survived almost the whole 70's without playing it). Their versions of it in early Taylor days speaks volumes what they thought of its most famous component, The Riff: first they tried to update to a bit more complicated and technically demanding form (1969), then getting rid of it almost altogether (1971) by giving the whole song a Otis Redding reading. In 1981 the riff made a return, but its rushed uptempo made it sound almost like circus caricature of it (and the weavers were in fire). And then there is Mick: he's been always struggling in how to deliver it since its hey-day. First (1969) trying to treat it like some kind of hippie 'get together' anthem, then (1971) make it more Otis-like soul number. In 1981 he treated it almost like a joke. None of those vocals are touching, or are meant to touch, that dramatic, sexy, frustrated authentic feel of the original. Mick's way too clever and professional even trying that. Since 1989, for sure, they have tried to be more fair to it, play it somehow seriously (compared to 1981/82), but it is still, thankfully, an anomaly in their set lists. It is a 'road version', clearly differing from its original version unlike most of their songs. But as it is a triumph-like last song in the set, and everybody in audience in ecstacy and sing-a-longing and clapping hands, so how to deliver it, doesn't really matter.

No wonder one can hardly hear Brian Jonesn this mix, he's not in the band! They should remove Bill Wyman as well. Let Darryl Jones, Bernard Fowler and Blondie do overdubs, brickwall the mix even further and then we're talking

it was recorded in late 1965 and released as a single in February 1966.
It reached number 2 on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and Britain's Record Retailer chart (subsequently the UK Singles Chart),
while topping the charts compiled by Cash Box and NME.
"19th Nervous Breakdown" was also the fifth best-selling single of 1966 in the UK, achieving greater full-year sales than both Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", which had prevented it from reaching number 1 in Record Retailer, and the Rolling Stones' next single release, "Paint It Black", which topped the same chart for a week at the end of May 1966.
