thanks for the post, just as i thought the vegas version, damn, compare this to
the hampton or lets spen the nite version, its not even close, but hey at least its in the set

That wasn't so @#$%& bad! I mean I got to admit I never liked the 81-82 versions, they never really touched the original, not that this one have but still they just have to play it more times. I could do without the horns but it's not like they @#$%& the song up. They're alright. I just don't think Lisa should sing on this one, this song should have only male vocies. A few shows down the road and this song might be a highlight.

the old saying "be careful what you wish for" seems apropos here.....

Nice version, IMO

It's good they have it back in the set. Nice version IMO!

Not great but I'm glad hes finally brought it back into the show and hopefully he'll persevere with it

I liked it personally (though I was worried I wouldn't).

I really like some of the earlier live versions - the one from the "Let's Spend The Night Together" film being a highlight (was that the Hampton show?). I think the best live version may actually be the one Keith did w/the Winos at the Palladium.

Either way, even if the horns aren't necessary it's still a good version. Still, regarding the horns, just because they work on "Happy" I don't see why Keef feels the need to stick them on all of his rock numbers (Wanna Hold You, Thru and Thru, Before They Make.., Little T&A)

Those horns are not good. What's the point?

It sound strange with horns, but not a bad version after all.

Nice find, Keef!

It's got those cheesy "Brand New Car" horns, but I like the rest. The backing vocals didn't sound as ridiculous as I expected and I loved the dual solo, even though it was a complete trainwreck.

That was the first time the band had played it live in 24 years - it'll only get better, won't it?

Oh yeah - one more thing. Keith, you know that big piece of wood around your neck? No, not the one eating the banana behind you - the one strapped on your body. Yeah, that one.

It's not there to be held at arm's length and waved around. It's there to be played. Please try to remember that in the future. Thanks.

I hate to say this but I found this REALLY aweful! No Kieth guitar, horns, backup singers, and NO PASSION! The 81-82 versions just RIPPED! For the 1st time, Kieth really looked OLD trying to pull this off (yes, I know he IS old, but hasn't appeared or acted as such before to me). This is really depressing me.

too much keyboards I want more guitar ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Some good weaving!

I couldn't even finish listening to it ! Those annoying ass horns?! What the F were they thinking?!

horns aside - the tempo is waaaaaaaay too slow - practically a slowdance number....

It certainly came a long way from 81/82.

and it's a long way back....

Well, it looks like a pee break song after all!

how could there be nice weaving with no guitars

Well you got a banana and a cigarette.....

maybe they were weaving a basket, cause it sure wasnt guitar weaving

melillo, you don't have to be a genius to figure this one out. The guy recoding this is at the end of the stadium and in pigeon heaven,he in betwqeen the amps and speakers to boot. It sounds somewhat o.k. I was there and were i was,it sounded really good. If that was through the sound board this would be a really good version imo. Listen to the guitars it's similar to some of hampton.

the similarities between hampton and this:

both renditions were performed on a stage in the US within the past quarter century. that's about it....

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

StonesTod, That opening riff woody starts with is exactly the way he opens it in hampton. The rest of the lead is different thank god, i hate repatisous band's. Just like Jimmy Page he's never played the same lead twice on stage in his life. Iwould'nt comment if you were'nt there either trying to depict from a sh*** boot to boot is not very wise.

you know what i am going to giants stadium show, i will reserve further comments
until then, that is if we get to hear it

Check the rs.com web site they have a little clip of it from gillette is sounds way different then that quality.you can hear keef's guitar really well the couple seconds of it anyway but you can hear how good it is.

you know what its not really that the guitars are that bad, its just that
when lisa and bernard start that vegas style backup crap it just ruins everything man

I agee somewhat,that's why i tune them out. Just like sometimes i just get into Charlie for awhile then go to keef,then jagger. There is so much going on i just focus on what i'm into.
