Gimme Shelter
Midnight Rambler (live versh)
~~Satisfaction~~ "2,000 light years from home"
~~Little Red Rooster~~ "prodigal son"
~~Bitch~~ "emotional rescue"
Brown Sugar
~~Honky Tonk Women~~ "she said yeah"
Casino Boogie

"Sway" rules with a mighty hand. Alejandro Escovedo's cover is also pretty darn good.

"Sway" is probably my favorite Stones tune, it really is.

Just Mick's phrasing on the whole thing "THERE .. MUst ,, Be WAYS" or coming out of the solo, "hey HEY!!! one DAY I WOKE UP too Fiiiiind". plus Charlie is just freakin' phenomenal across the whole thing. I mean, it's probably the best studio performance by one of the great rock drummers.

I may have mentioned this elsewhere, but every time I hear the first bars of "Sway" I think "my god, has any album by anyone ever had a stronger opening than this?" and then I realize that Sticky Fingers opens with "Brown Sugar." Foolz.

Other things about "Sway" that rule:

- "cone-uh-uffer-SMAAAHL"
- Nicky Fucking Hopkins

the fact that RIP THIS JOINT only appears on ONE list is an absolute tragedy.

― reynard the fox (Pearl Hooch), Saturday, 8 July 2006 19:47 (seventeen years ago) link

No, the omission of Dirty Work finalists is the real tragedy.
