Are you sure it is official? Normally they do not mix studio versions with cheers from live recordings.

Looks like someone just took the official St Louis 1997 version and cut in some other tour footage.
Flip the Switch - St Louis 1997
I never really appreciated this song, but this version is great. Keith really shines.

Flip the Switch - Live St Louis 1997

This version, the studio version?
There are quite a few live versions where he shines more, imo.

The Worst.
I remember that promo video well from 1998, when it was broadcasted in Norway combined with a great Charlie Watts interview. I have it on VHS somewhere.

No this is a live version from the 1997 St Louis PPV. Never loved the studio version and didn't really give the live version a proper listen (although I did see the 1997 NJ show).
And I agree -- the live versions are much better than the studio. The whole band is tight here, but Keith is really spectacular.

What a waste. It's kinda You Got Me Rockin'. Kinda this, kinda that. Like most of the Post-Wyman era. Very few original sounding new songs in the second half of their career.

The song had had a chance to swing live by the time the PPV happened, especially how Keith moved the cadence around with the lick. Excellent performance of a very interesting and good song.

Dandy - Are you looking at the link I posted? Flip the Switch - Live St Louis 1997 (not the original post).
I really respect your opinion, but I do not think this is the album version and the video is all St Louis PPV footage (unlike the original posting version where other shots from the tour are cut in). It does sound too clean to be 100% live, but vocals, guitars and drums are different (and better in my opinion) than the album track.

But this is the studio version with some St.Louis footage.

The original link, which is the promo video we're discussing, right (or did the thread take a detour that I missed ?
EDIT: I see now that you were talking about St Louis all along. I missed the link. My bad

My post was confusing and should have made clear this was a different source video. If I confused anyone -- sorry about that. But if you're a fan of Keith's playing, check out the link I posted above.

Flip the Switch, 1997, Saint Louis is even better than the official version. The guitar work by Keith is incredible, and you can see the Stones standing still instead of jumping around all over the place. But I think we can agree that Flip the Switch is a great song and should be included more in future set lists.
