I think the problem is that he mistakenly starts playing the solo for Slipping Away, which was the other song he played that night. Woody’s visible bemusement when Keith starts soloing is pretty funny and sort of confirms this. Also, I think he might have flipped the order of the two songs in the set because he plays Infamy with the guitar usually used for Slipping Away. Maybe that’s what unconsciously nudged him to start playing the Slipping Away solo. It’s a nice gig but Keith is a bit unfocused here and there.

This song never did it for me.

Slipping Away was the last great Stones song, in that it ended the Wyman Era. Slipping Away sounds like it's the end of the group. In a way it was.
In my opinion Voodoo Lounge is much better than SW, indeed perhaps one of the best works in general.Quote

Yeah, it feels a bit like The Long And Winding Road, not the last song on Let It Be, but on 1967-1970. It evokes the same kind of sentimentality - the sense of something coming to an end.
Well, in the case of the Stones it was just an end to a chapter, but what a chapter that was - creatively, they were never the same after Steel Wheels (which is not their best album by any stretch of the imagination, but could have been a fitting finale, just like Let It Be was for the Beatles).
And in my opinion Bridges to Babylon is much better than VL. While VL feels quite retrospective song and production-wise B2B feels like a fresh, contemporary 1997 album of the Stones. Which makes it much more original. Saint of Me, Out of control, anybody seen my baby, Flip the switch. All great songsQuote

Read 'Life'. They didn't put Thief In The Night on it because they needed to. They would have been 12 songs without it. They simply put it on the album because all except Mick thought the song was just too good to throw it away. So Keith and Don made it a medley with "How can I stop" last minute as it was a compromise that Mick was okay with.Quote

An album with Keith Richards as lead vocals on 3 songs can't be a good Rolling Stones Album.

As for the Mick and Keith songwriting brotherhood - while they wrote many great songs together they wrote just as many great songs seperated. Brown Sugar, You can't always get what you want, Moonlight Mile, Sway, - they were all written by Mick alone. So that is not a valid argument why a Stones album is not good.
Yes I’m still waiting. I sent an email and was told that I should receive it sometime at the beginning of AugustQuote
