Did I dream this - or did they play SSS on the LIcks tour?

They did play it on Licks Tour - Roseland Ballroom, New York City, Monday Sept. 30. 2002.

oops - too late! what he/she said up there :E
but here's a brilliant resource to bookmark for that kind of question: [www.nzentgraf.de]

Thanks - was it close to the original or a different song ? (remembering the butchering they gave 19th NB on the same tour).

I heard it somewhere - off the net I think, it was GREAT, BEAUTIFUL....

I like the Roseland version too...great backing vocals by Keith.

I love this song.

It was used on the The Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack. I bet that is what prompted them to resurrect it. I wish they would play it more often, it is a real gem.

I thought it was one of the (many) highlights of the Licks tour

yeah, absolutely brilliant live version. I expected them to do it more often after Roseland, but they never touched this gem again - one of the many mysterious decisions by the Stones in recent years, if you ask me!

I've uploaded it for yours to enjoy:
She smiled sweetly licks tour

An excellent track taken from an underrated LP. I've always prefered Between The Buttons to Aftermath.

Thanks Marco, thats brilliant - sounds excellent and they played it well.
Must've been a great concert

IMO Roseland was the best club show on Licks

It was friggin' amazing!

One of my all-time favourite songs (by anyone), with a stunning vocal performance by Jagger.

...and arguably their best-ever middle-eight.

I was there and was thrilled to hear this one. The arrangement was very close to the album version, a bit less church-y, a bit more twangy. mick played acoustic guitar.

I can see why mick and/or the others would think of a few songs on BTBs as too hokey to revive--while the "classic rock" sound they would define only a year or two later persists essentially unchanged today--but this isn't one of them.

The Roseland performance is amazing - one of the highlights of the show. If I remember correctly, Mick makes reference to The Royal Tenenbaums when introducing the song.
I wasn't there, but to these ears it sounds like it's only Keith on harmany vocals. If so, it's one of the few songs where the Mick/Keith harmonies still sound good, unlike Torn & Frayed, which was played at a couple other club shows but didn't really work that well, to my great disappointment.
Agree with alimente that it's curious that this never surfaced again. Maybe Mick saw one audience member with a puzzled look on his face and that was all it took.
