... is the one on "Stripped". Acoustic guitars, like on the original. Ronnie & Keith are on fire, the rhythm is perfect, and nothing goes over the top. This one seems to be the best re-interpretation of the "Beggar's Banquet" version.

Yes, indeed, the Stripped version is one of the best.
Actually, all versions from 1994 on were pretty good.
The Voodoo Lounge-stadium version was great, think about "Nippon Voodoo" (Tokio 1995). The three ones from Bridges To babylon, for example Berlin were pretty good, but the burners were the Licks-indoor-arena-versions, my favourite here: Chicago United Centre September 10th, 2002....hell!

The Rolling Stones in Paradiso, Amsterdam, playing Street Fighting Man, the version that ended up Stripped:

Yeah, I could see this sometime in the future. Keith starts the opening song playing an acoustic, sitting in a chair, and then stands up, kicks the chair to the side, and starts power-chording on the electric.

The Stripped version is my favorite.

Great setting, awesome performance.

Brussels 73, hands down!

a tossup between Studio and Stripped . . .

Original 7" mono version...

Hell ya fight King Kong in a dark alley for that one....Biff BAM.....Gimme that single ya over-grown monkey

Can be found on Singles Collection - The London Years 2002 release..



ROCKMAN

Hey Rockman, I did not realize 2002 was different from the 1989 release.

Yep only place you'll get the earlier 7" mono....May 1968
Slightly different lead vocals mix..Dave Mason on shehani

Beggars and all other CD releases later mixed Sunset Sound Studio June - July 1968



ROCKMAN

Are there many other differences between the two singles collection releases other than the remastered sound? When the 2002 edition came out I don't recall hearing about alternate versions of songs compared to 89's.
(my apologies bassplayer617, didn't intend to hijack the thread)

How about No Expectations?

In reply to the thread:

I prefer the studio version of SFM, just because...

Well the other gem that comes to mind is
The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man

1989 release is 3.18 version with the lyrics....
" I have two clerks I break my ass everyday"
...where as 2002 is the 3.06 version with that line edited

London 73 from "Heading for an Overload"

I have never heard this before. If only the backup singers would stay in the background, they're OK. It's when Lisa gets all lead vocalitis that I get cheesed off. It' because the Stones are taking their music seriously and not racing through it, coked up speeded up drunked out fagged out.

"The wonder of Jimi Hendrix was that he could stand up at all he was so pumped full of drugs." Patsy, Patsy Stone

Hard to argue about the famous Wembley '73 performance, but I would point out that it was the show closer for that era and designed to be wild, psychedelic and make the audience feel like they've been run over by a truck. It is a performance suited to the song's purpose in the setlist.

I would mention the JJF>SFM from Frankfurt '73, 2nd. Listen to Taylor sitting on the "wah-wah" and holding that high note during the transition from JJF. Another nice spontaneous one of a kind Taylor touch. A video of that performance of SFM is available. It's shiny. :-)

The version on Gimme Shelter. Is there a clean version of that recording from the film ? ( no DJ chatter )

Unfortunately not.

My, my, my. The closest to the original studio version, kids. I didn't mean the balls-out electric versions.

If you wanna go THERE, then Wembley 73 is the ultimate ballzout version. For a variation on the original acoustic guitar idea, "Stripped" is all we have.

Big T

The studio
version!!!!Is the champ for me.
The 76 version
the 78 version.
the Stripped.

I just love the Stripped version!

W

Best version is the ones from Licks for sure.

JumpingKentFlash

I like most of them.London '73 from Nasty Music 2006 Edition or the Licks Tour b-stage versions are probably my favourites.'81 or Lakeland '78 have to be the worst.

are you speaking of Newcastle '73?

As far as I know,the only soundboard quality recordings of "Street Fighting Man" from the '73 European Tour are from Wembley 9/9/73, Frankfurt 9/30/73 2nd show, and Brussels 10/17/73 1st show.........I might be missing one but I think that's all of them....
