You're so right, gomby! Steel Wheels was a great album and "Sad Sad Sad" is a great song for live shows. I always wished that they'd play songs like "Blinded by Love" or "Almost hear you sigh" live.
"Rock and a hard place" or "Mixed Emotions" where also great live songs back in 1989 / 1990! :-)
Great song from a great album! I loved it right from the moment, Mick and Keith were recording it in the studio in Montserrat (from "25 X 5").
Love it!
