I have been wondering why Out Of Time has never been played live by the Stones.
It was a number one hit in 1966 and one of the really outstanding tracks on Aftermath.
They have often played Under My Thumb over the years from 1966 onwards and it is a song with similar instruments to Out Of Time.
It also has a great chorus as a "sing along song" which audiences would surely pick up on. The Stones are not averse to "sing along" from audiences, for example, whoo whoo in SFTD and the whoo s in Brown Sugar and the chorus in Ruby Tuesday.
It would be interesting to hear other peoples opinions as to why the Stones have never played this live when it is such a great song and still played on the radio.

It was in Scorsese want list for Shine A Light. I believe Mick made a comment on that list in the movie.
Surely they made wise choice and played a couple of warhorses instead.
I do not remember. Need to watch it over again. I remember he was in a kind 'primadonna' mood while checking the listQuote

It's a good song. It never went anywhere in America, in any version. Very few people in their audience would even know the song, let alone know to sing along with it. At any rate, I believe Mick is too timid about setlists to allow Out of Time a chance.

I would say it is a much better known song than "Play With Fire", which we got this summer.

It was a number 1 in 1966 but for Chris Farlowe, a record that Mick produced.
The fact that it was such a huge hit meant that, effectively, the Stones had given Chris "ownership" of the song which might explain why the Stones never played it live.
Mick and Chris at 2min 17 sec in this gem of a movie.
