I listen to almost everything from every show - bits of most of the songs anyway. But never, never Miss You. Sorry, just not my cup of tea anymore...
Same here, listened to it on the Hal Ashby VHS tape years ago from the 81 tour, hated it and always skip through it, absolutely can't stand 30 seconds of Miss You, Micks obsessed with it, its his chance to be a Redcoat i guess, audience participation time, it's that great old working class image born out of insecurity, gauging a song by a clap-o-meter

I haven't been a big fan of Miss You for a long time now, either. Yes, Mick clearly does love that song, so we shouldn't expect for it to be "cycled out" of setlists.
Here's my way of still appreciating it, though... or appreciating part of it, at least. The 1970s saw the birth of disco and punk, but was the decade funk exploded as well. I've always enjoyed the funky bass in Miss You... that's the part of it I've never tired of. And when Darryl took over on bass, it just got funkier.
The Miss You bass solo has become Darryl's biggest moment in the spotlight during concerts, in fact... and I do enjoy that. I think Mick's not going to drop it from shows for that reason, too: Darryl deserves to be featured.
And now with the addition of Steve as the other half of the rhythm section, Darryl's already funky Miss You bass just got even funkier. It was fun before, and just got a little bit more fun.
All told, I'm okay with it staying in. And I'm glad there's an element of it I like, because Miss You's not going anywhere.

Jeez, what a crap (sick actually). Because one doesn't like one particular song, one postulates any king of pseudo-psychological shit against a Rolling Stones member and seemingly thinks any person who might dig the song - there are usually a stadium full of them - are idiots. I guess it must be hard for the world's biggest hardcore fan of Keith Richards (hi Mark Chapman!) to enjoy the Rolling Stones.

I think Keith when he was younger would have tried to tune the string while the song was going, or tried not to hit it while playing, but at his age I think it's understandable if he just keeps on playing like nothing happened.
Nowadays most guitarists have a tuner pedal on their pedalboard, so they can mute their guitar briefly while tuning it. But Keith is old-school and doesn't have a pedalboard in front of him.

You're such a Drama Queen, try to calm down its only rock and roll
I don't have a problem with people liking Miss You or voicing that they love hearing it, so why should it be a problem for me to say I'm done with it, i love all the rest of the setlists this tour.
There are so many other songs that could be played, like Rockman just suggested, Too Much Blood would be fantastic.
Try to chill out man, we were having a discussion and many posters agree with me, I'm not the first in this thread or others to show my disapproval of Miss You.
If you enjoy hearing it every show I'm happy for you, i happen to dislike it.
