Was "Connection" criticised? Never saw it; is my favourite song from SAL.

I realize that he can't play slide anymore but I don't understand why he doesn't play guitar at all on this song anymore.

First performed during a tour, yes in 1999, but it was also played in 1995, at an impromptu concert held during the September video shoot for Like a Rolling Stone in Kingscross, London.
Mentioned on the Rolling Stones offical website
Always loved the performance of the song at Wembley in 1999.

I actually think so, remember something like that. I tried to find the thread with the first reviews of SAL, but it is burried somewhere deep.

You think Connection is brilliant from Shine A Light? Have you actually listened to it on the record? Keith sounds like he's being strangled. It should have been kept off the album - it's embarrassing to play with other people - Stones fans even - around.

In all fairness, Keith's performance on Shine a Light should have kept off the album...I reckon the two Beacon concerts are the worst recorded performances by Keith Richards with the Stones.
Respectfully disagree. You Got the Silver may not be the best version Keith did on this tour, but I found it more emotionally resonant than most of the other songs in the movie. Certainly, I'd put it in my top 5 songs of the movie...
