If everything is good again I wish they kick of slow with this one...number one in the US....lets well I still love the intro after all those years!!!

yeah! and what about the LYL version? with that poweful intro and that sweet keith singing!!!!

Whatever.

Are you high, rooster? I can just tell.

Right!!!Bring back Ron and Keith...on vocals!!!

Well, at least you're not gonna get lung cancer.

Must admit nikkibong's thread really was a relief to me!

i changed idea. Now WOZ GONNA STOP ME?

LOL!!!

Honky Tonk Woman.....the best way to recover!!!!

LOVE the song, but don't like the way the chorus has been song since '75 - should be HOOOOOOONktonk women! not honky tonk, honky tonk women.

loses some of its power in its current incarnation IMCO

Interesint to hear differnet takes on this song. I thougth it was really cool how they broke up the chorus like that the first time I heard LYL. the way they do it now is mick sings it as one hoonkey tonk on the first couple of verses then splits it up later. they aslo add an additional chorus. I guess that started in 89
as far as how it sounds today, I would say that it depends on what night you catch it. and what mood your in. I thought It rocked when I saw them on this tour.

anyone dig Cocker's version on Mad Dogs? i dig

I aint neva I aint neva I aint neva I aint neva I say I aint neva heard it.

I dig the 78 version and the studio version is just the best rock intro ever.Period.

Wanna say that the 78 version rocks like hell!!!They play it slow the intro is very long(Ilike that!!)pfffff their are so many versions of this song..and we also have Country Honk..I just never get tired of it..what I like to..is on somelife shows..on the end WHoAAAAA!!!thats great..I think they now play it a little to fast.I rather hear them play nervous faster and HTW slower..so we really can taste the groove.

I agree. The 78 version is a killer. And Mick's singing is sharp as a razorblade.

Nowadays he's changing the intonation arount as if he's getting bored with it. He kind of chews the words. There's a boot from Yokohama 2003 where the singing voice is way upfront (they call it "Mick's Monitor Mix"). There you can hear the whole mess (very interesting, though, like being under Mick's helmet).

That 78 version was so cool almost like they were a band from kingston ..and you can hear the frustation in jaggers voice..top..nowadays its just a circus act.

Indeed: more frustration wanted! D'd'y'a hear tha' Jagge'!?

1975 was the best for HTW,as the first song of the show,as soon as the crowd hear the first chord, insanity............

Honky Tonk Women worked great in the entire 70s.....but the 75/76 version was not a success, they should have chosen a different opener.

I can only say one thing to that

BOLLOCKS

Should I focus on the "bullocks" or on the smiley?

Check this link for related tee shirt of the year

And Erik yes you can focus on the Bollocks

Say hello to mister fist ! BAM!

Do you like fisting? I thought this was a RESPECTABLE board !!!

No, it's just a cool phrase....have a nice weekend!

couldn't be more wrong if your ass was screwed on backwards, Erik...

Speaking of "fist", I wonder if BeelyBoy and Redlight went through with their fight last night. The thread's gone, so I didn't see how it all ended. Anyone know?

I'm shocked.

yeah im with stones todd and humanriff77 on this one

It was a brilliant opener in 75-76.

I'm not saying that it's not a good live song,
I just think they should have a faster opening song,
as they did this very slow in 75/76.
A rocker like BrownSugar in 72/73 or Let It Rock in 78.
