The live version from Pittsburgh or oh right it was recorded in Toronto for the MTV Awards was fantastic, really - I loved Ronnie's fills and solo, his solo is pretty damn good, very melodic.
Charlie just pounds solidly like a cement truck pouring out miles and miles of... cement!
At 4:04 there's a bit, Mick does this back and forth dance thing, where you HEAR The Rolling Stones with their rhythmicness that is so awesome, a heaving thing for just a moment. Ronnie does a bunch of fills before and after that are reminders that he was in the Faces or whatever, that Rod Stewart thing.
The only thing that sucks, really, is that cheeeeeesy keyboard towards the end.

I was going to post that. It is much better than the studio version. I was at that Concert and they were on fire as was the crowd.

thats not better than the studio. they never did it live better. something about the chorus and backing vocals and then the "you're not the only on" part after the 2nd chorus is just never right

Live it had bounce. The studio version is like pre-op: shiny and sterile. Mixed Emotions is one of their songs that, at least for the 1989-90 tours, was better than the LP version. But as Mick talked about with Don't Stop, it will never have the patina like Honky Tonk Women etc have. They've played it how many times since 1990? I can think of at least once - and it was... tepid at best.

A somewhat embarrassing song compared with the classic rockers, although maybe better than 3 of the 4 rockers on Emotional Rescue, and not worse than Don't Stop. But still not bad. The remix is the best official version. The surprising 2016 live version was better than the 1989/90 arrangement. Not bad, but nobody needs it. That's why they play 90 % classics by now in most shows.

How did you find that version superior to the 1989/90-versions?

yes the 1 version since the early 90's that I know of is not close to good at all. it had bounce live musically but i'm talking about overall. the vocals were never right live on the chorus and is understandable because mick jagger is one of the backing voices. hard to sing lead and backing vocals at the same time live unless you are paul Stanley keith also was never the most trusted backing vocalist live to nail his part every time and he has a big part in the chorus vocal

I'll NEVER get used to Mick and Charlie's haircuts during this period.

I do not know if anyone pointed out that this is an open G song with minor chords. Not many Stones open G songs have minor chords. It also has a key change in it. Also something not done many times by the Stones.

A LOT of open G-songs have minor chords.
Wild Horses (Am, Bm), Before They Make Me Run (Em) and Plundered My Soul (Am formation) are a few quick examples.
All Stones tunes have key changes.

3 chords in a song is not a key change. The only other Rolling Stones song I can think of off the top of my head with a key change is Dear Doctor. Most Rolling Stones open G songs are all major chords. I do not think the original version of wild horses has a guitar in open G. Over the years Keith Richards has played a few songs live in open G that were recorded in standard tuning.

I didn't realise you were talking about modulation. That's correct, it doesn’t happen too often.
Yes, Keith plays a 10 string open G on the WH studio version. And he frequently uses the Am, Bm (this one is what makes the WH chord so beautiful - the open g-strings within the chord) and Em chords in open G tuning.
A song in standard tuning that became an open G-song on stage, btw, is LSTNT. In that song he plays that Bm chord again. Same with Wanna Hold You (Am, Bm).

I forgot about wanna hold you. I like that song. I also thought the original wild horses was in Nashville tuning.
