This one. The 'other' - not the official - Brussels version.... Perfect! The way Taylor backs up the opening riff, giving it a certain roll... (later years they would have called Keith and Taylor's interplay as 'ancient art of weaving'); each element and nuance by each player spot on thru it playing- and arrangement-wise... but especially the whole chorus that is a total triumph: Mick and Keith at their peak voice singing their hearts out and the whole Rolling Stones Dream Team all cylinders on.... The whole performance is just so tense, tight but joyful!

Never really liked that song all that much, sounded like it was falling apart and didn't have any flow. Live never improved on it either, although I do like the percussion intro on the studio version.

I am with Doxa - Brussels 73 is I-T!
That said, the version from Hyde Park 69 is really cool, and Sam Houston Col. on 7.19.78 is killer!

The Astoria 2003 (I was lucky enough to be there. HTW came as a surprise - I don't think it was set listed but it kicked ass. i was part of an ecstatic crowd singalong down the front)

The Hyde Park-version has a groove similar to that of the studio version, something they never managed to do again.

Whatever, it is amazingly good! That is the version from the NASTY SONGS bootleg, isn't it?

Hmm.. I don't know the origin of the youtube clip, but it is familair from all the old BRUSSELS AFFAIR and BEDSPRING SYMPHONY bootlegs (I am not familiar with NASTY SONGS). For some reason, the Stones picked up the other (clearly waeker me thinks) version for an official relaese (I guess the reason was that they wanted to offer versions not so familiar from the bootlegs - but the result is that the official version of the famous bootleg is not as great as it could've been... thankfully they did include THE version of "Midnight Rambler", though).
As far as the official version Brussells "Honky Tonk" go, Mick and Keith screw up big time the first chorus... sounds hilarous though, on with the show!

I have got no certain knowledge about these things, I seldom have. But apparently (by virtue of a libel number) my bootleg NASTY SONGS is to be identical with another bootleg, denoted as "SODD 012 Rolling Stones NASTY MUSIC".
Googling the said denotation (everyone can do so) leads to a site, where the sources of that bootleg are presented. Some songs are from the Brussels first show, others from London (Empire Pool Wembley) and, what I have always known more or less, four songs from New York (Madison Square Garden) 1972.
And yes, according to this, "Honky Tonk Women" on this boot is from Brussels 1st show. I obtained the official release a little delayed, when I bought GOATS HEAD SOUP reissue (the first reissue I have bought, in fact), and have not even now started to listen to the official Brussels affair yet.

And I don't like you, but fail to see what that has to do with the subject at hand.
