What a great freaking version - you can just see them standing around in a circle and cutting a number like this - so spontaneous yet so beautiful...... nicky hopkins makes the studio version but this one is so raw it's irresistible
Woow....killer! My favourite track on the album. Amazing sound, those backing vocals from Keith and those guitars. At this point they really were the greatest rock n roll band in the world!
@cgraber The only contemporaries names I can think of (that are still pretty active) are Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan (his neverending tour) and Neil Young. Their must be a couple more, I'm sure. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey still perform as The Who, every now and then. Big question for 2011 is: what are The Stones going to do? A new album and a farewell tour? We'll see.
@robin14669 Well said and I couldn't agree more. Against all odds, Mick (and Keith for that matter) have stood the test of time. Even though the show isn't quite what it was in the halcyon days of 68-72, its still utterly incredible that they still tour given that their contemporaries are either, 1) Dead; or 2) in semi to permanent retirement (like Jimmy Page for instance, he only surfaces for special occasions and hasn't toured since 1998 with the Black Crowes.)
@cgraber Yes, I agree with you. Personally I think that Micks vocals from the 1969-1971 era were so good that any new vocals can't never beat them. There were a couple of songs like 'Plundered my soul' who hadn't any vocals at all (or only very sparse), so Mick had to sing them in for the Exile re-issue. But for a guy who is in his sixties, I give Mick credits that his voice still sounds so young! Aspecially after more then 40 years of living a pretty wild rock and roll life. Quite amazing.

You know this is a bad remaster when the bootleg versions sound way better than how super loud these discs were.

The cut on the album is perfect, but Jesus this is a revelation!

The middle eight - "Feel so humble with you tonight" - still gives me goosebumps.

The song is awesone, but this version is so much better. Dont know why it took 37 years to release it. Much better than anything today.
