In a way! LOL! And when everybody else started for the bathroom when Keith started his 2 songs and my friend and I heard the "All About You" begin, you could have heard us yell from across the speedway. That is one of those drunken Stones sing-a-longs... just great.

wasn't it a b stage regular in '97? i saw it twice at the meadowlands that tour.

A song that definitely wasn't played nearly enough.

Yes, it was played quite often on the b-stage during the US-leg of BtB. Saw it in Philly!

El Mocambo '77

those shows were the only time it was played prior to the BTB tour

They played it 20 times on that tour, generally as a b-stage song. The last live version to date was in Amsterdam on 6.7.98

They played it in Buffalo during the 97 tour on the B-stage. Which by my good fortune happened to be right next to my entourage of 10 seats. Blew me away.

When they started with "Little Queenie" I was estatic. Then came "Crazy Mama" and then they closed with the "Last Time" the best 3 song set I ever saw.

Like "Hand of Fate," they seem to get lost when they play it now.

They don't play it live now.It has been more than eight years since they did.It's easy for Jagger to get lost with the vocals with all of the similar lines : "If you don't believe I'm gonna do it" / "If you really think you can push it" combinations with "Wait 'til you get hit by a bullet" /" Wait for the thud of the bullet" etc. in different verses of the song.

Yeah I sat close to the "center stage" in charlotte that tour (1997).
They did Little Queenie, Crazy Mama and You Got Me Rocking

Madison, Wisconsin, 1997, B-stage

Really? That's the only time I saw it. The sound sucked but we didn't care, it (and we) rocked.

How could they, when they havent played it since 1998?

I caught it twice at Giants Stadium Oct 16 & 17th 1997.

PECMAN

You caught Factory Girl and It's Only Star & Star too, then.

Winnipeg 97 b-stage.

Guess I'm grouping it in my mind with "Hand of Fate," as I suggested. Both from B&B, both rockers without a standard structure that get turned strangely country by the current stones.

I remember a funny clip I saw some day on the net.
A video cartoon of the Stones playing Crazy Mama
Would love to DL it, but can't find it anymore. I remember it was a flash demo made by an advertising agency.

Mick's awful lazy singing on Crazy Mama '97 may account for it's country (?) sound. I mean, His voice is what really made it cook on Black & Blue. Tepid & Weak on any 97 boot I've heard.

As for Hand of Fate - I was so excited to get in on Four Flicks - until yet again, Mick kills it with a passionless reading with forgotten lyrics a-plenty.
(The coda of Stray Cat Blues on the same show gives me chills, though).
