1.all down the line - ladies & gents
2.whip comes down - fort worth 78
3.ucagwyw - unreleased decca live album 1972

Nothing the Stones have ever done or ever will do will touch the version of Midnight Rambler from Brussels '73 thats on Brussels Affair and numerous other titles

13 minutes of every member of the band firing on all cylinders. Absolute perfection

True.I put on that cd in my car one night & my brother,who only listens to studio tracks & refuses to listen to live material for some reason,actually made some kind of a comment like "That was a pretty good version of Midnight Rambler".

I am almost the opposite of your brother! I prefer live Stones to studio!

Only to disturb: I myself prefer the version from London, Sept 9. Sadly it's only available in audience.

[There'll be no wedding today...]

Gimme Shelter - Paradiso '95 (stripped companion)
Beast of Burden - Ft. Worth '78 (Handsome girls 1)
Miss You - Ft. Worth '89 (Handsome girls 1)

Cheers,
Wuudy

Bitch - Perth 73
ADTL - L&G

Ooooops, I'm embarrased... You're right, Erik, I mean mono SB. Anyway, I think if the quality was as good as Brussels many would be saying it's perfect...

[There'll be no wedding today...]

Mine would be

Love in Vain (Garden State/Capitol Connection 78)
Little Queenie (Sweet Home NYC 98)
Brown Sugar (with eric Clapton on Keith's birthday 1970)

Uptight/satisfaction from 72 is pretty darn good too...and I love the JJF on 'F** yer Ya Yas Out' I could go on and on!

random picks:

Bye Bye Johnny - MSG 7/26/72
Little Queenie - San Diego '98
Let it Rock - Handsome Girls - wherever Disc One, Track One is from (I ferget)

I think I'm in a berry good mood today or sumthin

totally agree -

Brussels, ? , Stade Roi Baudouin

Just My Imagination Hampton '81 (extended jam anyone?)
Dead Flowers Live @ the Marquee 71 (the vibrato gets you every time)
and as T&A said..Bye Bye Johnny (any 72 version really, I like the Ft Worth Express 6/24/72 one but this song captured on L&G is possibly one of the bands greatest live moments)

Hard one, but I'd say:
-Brown Sugar (L&G) '72
-Happy (L&G) '72
-Gimme Shelter L.A. Forum 13/7 '75

yeah, Bitch/Perth and MRambler/Brussels

you passing on a 3rd, fxc1, due to the length of MR?

Love In Vain--Handsome Girls
Heart of Stone--Toronto 2002
Gimme Shelter--73

This is tough, but at this moment:

1. Gimme Shelter (Wembley 73)
2. When the Whip Comes Down (HG 78)
3. Let It Rock (HG 78)

Can't pick. Too much to choose from. I have about 2000 songs on all those discs. Really can't pick 3 of 'em. It's like having to pick one of your children best.

It's hard to pick for me too,
the only thing I know is that Midnight Rambler from Brussels is among the top 3,
as Gazza thought too.
It was hearing this song, that made me quit playing soccer, in the early 90s. I bought a guitar instead.
And I was the top player on our team!
