QuoteTravelinMan There are some pretty hot versions in 1970 and ‘71 as well. I admit I'm not nearly as familiar with 1970 and 1971 as I am with the other tours. But I do like the version from Leeds 1971. A nice laid-back country porch feel. There are some good versions from the 1973 Pacific tour as well.

My all-time favorite Stones song, and the one live war-horse I can't go without. It's literally the same thing to the Rolling Stones that the Force is to Star Wars: it's like a damn energy field that surrounds the band's entire catalouge and binds together "Satisfaction," "Get Off Of My Cloud," "The Last Time, "Under My Thumb," "Pain

QuoteLeonidP I almost agree. I prefer 1972 over 1978, but yes, 1978 also tops Ya Yas ... and don't get me wrong, I also love Ya Yas version! It's just a great song, studio included, and it was probably their best ever choice of a cover! Thanks LeonidP!

I know the version of LIV on Ya Yas is the one that everyone knows and loves, but to my ears the Stones simply played this song better in 1972 and 1978. Whether it was Mick Taylor’s more adventurous leads and Bobby Keyes and Jim Price’s killer Stax-style horns in the former, or Ronnie’s down home steel guitar and Stu’s country piano and Mac’s gospel organ (not to mention Keith’s gloriously ragged

I just saw. Man, talk about a loss. ZZ Top was one of the few bands who were right up there with the Stones and The Doors for me: I wasn't a fan, I was a die-hard superfan. Researched as much as I could about these guys; "Tush" was one of the first songs I learned on the guitar. Just listen to how he weaved musically with Billy and Frank: those three men sounded HUGE together.

Thanks for all the responses everyone. Really appreciated it. In the end, it looks like two factors ended any plans for the Stones to come back to the U.S. and Canada in 1976: (1) Keith's Aylesbury arrest for DUI and possession of coke and LSD following the Stafford UK gig, which would have caused problems with getting a Keith a visa to come into the U.S. And then, far more likely, there
