I think the guitar driven live versions of Sympathy for the Devil from the '69/'70 and '75 tours are far superior to the post 1989 drum loop track / piano thing they do now.

It didn’t last very long, but they technically did the same thing to JJF in ‘89 by adding the studio intro.

I wonder what SFTD would have sounded like live in '72 with Nicky Hopkins.

Good post. A song like Sway could ONLY be a letdown...Mick would never risk his voice digging deep for the emotion necessary to nail it onstage.Quote

What OP says is a major point. And it has a lot to do with why my interest in late era Stones has dissipated; has fallen away.
I always thought that one of the best things about the Stones was how they re-arranged, and re-thought songs for the live stage. Many tracks didn't even find their true identity, until they'd been slapped around on a live stage for a couple of years.
"Midnight Rambler" - mic drop.
In '78 they took the entire SG album on the road and played the hell out of those songs.
In '81 they overhauled a major portion of their catalog.
And in '89 it was very intentional that they put much effort into recreating the studio effect again. It was the era of new stage technology and sound.
And even with VL, and more so B2B they took those albums on the road. And obviously worked them hard. But by then it was only Keith and his songs where there was some out of the box approach.
But anything with Jagger was getting a perfunctory deal. This is why all the requests for "Sway", or "She was Hot" etc. are kind of a joke. They were all massive let-downs. Jagger is mainly concerned with saving his breath for running those stadium laps..
And even all those guest star slots became a super awkward 5 minutes that you wish you hadn't seen. Tom Waits up there for "Rooster" should have been legendary.

Fascinating, they talk rarely about their musical arragements. Is there a link to the interview or a magazine name?Quote

In a (recent?) interview, Keith explained they wanted starting the Steel Wheels tour to give a rendering of the songs which was quite similar to the studio versions. [...]
