Sounds adequate. This isn't genuinely Keith, right?

What do you mean? It's Keith. I just uploaded it and posted it

I don't think Emotional Rescue worked very well live either. It was too drawn out like Miss You is compared to the earlier tours (78 & 81).

Hairball
Any version of ER (the tune) is a bad version imo, including the live versions they did a few tours back. The bass line is annoying and childish. Another main problem with the tune is Mick really can't sing falsetto when compared to the greats - nearly every song he tries it ends up lame. Worried About You might be the exception where it works...and maybe the spoken word/sung part of Dear Doctor as that's sort of a mockery anyways...
But tunes like ER and Fool To Cry are completely forced and unnatural sounding compared to the greats - Eddie Kendricks, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Junior Murvin, et al....even the BeeGees and KC (of the Sunshine Band) are better imo.

Emotional Rescue is a bit like Goats Head Soup, a step down from the massive success of Some Girls. And like GHS, there's a few songs to pick out, like ER, She's So Cold, and Indian Girl. Lot of throwaway stuff.

A little bit lightweight for you, after becoming a Sex Pistols and The Damned fan in the late 70s?
Wish you could appreciate Where The Boys Go, though. Just like I know you love "Lies" and "Respectable" from 1978.

Thanks, DP. Got my morning tea in my nose when reading that.

Well, I am Dutch, and I read it the same way. "pick out" I would read as "select" which could be in a positive or a negative way.

To Erik Snow, re WTBG. respectable was great social satire and ofcourse e real- life exerience. Lies was a bit lightweight but unpretentious fun.
Sorry Sir, I misread you post to someone else. Will amend later. Pardon.
WTBG was silly because it was MJ doing a Jimmy Pursey impersonation and is totally unconvincing. Nor is it it convincing that he's one of the lads, atage 36-37 and recording out in the Bahamas. Same for Summer Romance really. Neither are musically that great either.
Put this in context. Look at Sticky Fingers .....and see how far the standard had fallen. It's just a totally different class. Some Girls was a very refreshing and promised more. But really their best days were over, in the studio. It had become a business by then, for Jagger at least.
Nick Kent reviewed ER album in the New Musical Express. A lifetime fan and close friend of Keith. But his assessment was of a general malaise. Accompanying his review was a picture of the Stones in a dinghy cast adrift and with only one paddle, which Keith was holding. Casta drift with no direction. Remember he did love the Stones ( but not by the end of the 80s).
He said that there were three tracks of Exile quality but that the rest was sub-standard and not really that good. He never said which 3! I think one must be She's So Cold. In a class apart.I think he commented positively on it. Then probably Down in the Hole. I like to think that Send it to Me is the other - but he might have meant Let Me Go or just perhaps All About You.
No idea if Nick Kent is still 'going'.

I've often been a bit mystified that Where The Boys Go and Summer Romance, the latter of the two the best and a fantastic snarling song, get so much shit. I like that they're "different" from anything before. They certainly would do some downright afwul tracks much later.
It seems that there's some standard that hasn't been accomplished - what standard would that be?

No riff, no melody, no groove, no rhythm. Just dumb polished punkrockpop.
