I agree with your analysis in italics. Mick J exploring as main creator, with Taylor as his main collaborator. Yes, precursor to solo work 'ethic' - he was stil tied into Stones 'marriage' at the time. Each to his/her own. I disagree with you about the song being a gem - I'd take a lot, if not virtually al, of his solo work in preference. Good Stones albums

The vocal is overdone. On much of that album, but especially on this track, they are trying to be something else. The jagger/ricahrd team had lost its natural muse - if it was even much of a team at this time. Not sorry.

QuoteLieB It may seem like Sticky Fingers was neglected, but I think it was played as much as most of their other albums at the time. By 1971, they had played already played 7 out of 10 tracks from it on stage (assuming they did play CHYMK). That's 70%. Compare with ... - Beggars Banquet, from which they had played 5 out of 10 tracks (50%) by 1969, not counting the R'n'R C

I'm very surprised that Holland didn't beat Argentina. I think they are the only team that had a chance of beating Germany who I don't think will be troubled much by Argentina. The Dutch live in Holland but the Germans call their homeland 'Dutchland' - it's a funny old world.

I saw highlights of their Glastonbury set. Was really impressed by the guitarist. Seemed like a one-man-band to me. Distinct but very limited drum style. I wondered why the bassist too was so limited - a virtualnon-entity standing out of site behind the stacks. This thread has explained why - he is not a band member. The Stones should follow that example - maybe letting Daryl on stage fo

A reference for that would be interesting, Joker. I think that it is something that cannot not have occurred to Jagger in the present/future.
