I admit I’m mainly a sixties singles fan, but man, Steel Wheels is such a weird cultural thing. Despite the Stones only have been “broken up” a few years, people were so desperate for them to have a Triumphant Return that they managed to fool themselves into thinking it was great, even though it’s basically store brand Rolling Stones.
Also, the joke was that they were dinosaurs...They were in their mid 40s!

I really dig Keith's solo records, especially Main Offender.

I thought Illusion from Crosseyed Heart was a great song, a duet by Keith and Norah Jones. Also Robbed Blind from the same lp.

Yes, a much better rock n roll album than many of the Stones' recent ones.

Tumbling Dice has some of Keith's best rhythm work. It's sublime.
If I had to pick a #1 Stones song, that would be it
It's top-3 for me.
I like Tumbling Dice but that lead vocal is waaaay too low in the mix, to the point it angers me a little.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

But they're terrible live. I bought "Love You Live" back in the day and threw it in the bin a few weeks later.

Well, they're energetic, you have to give then that.

I do appreciate their loose (or sloppy) live stuff. At least the club shows like Mocambo. Tumbling Dice is real fun and loose as well, though it lacks those great backing vocals, so I could see that as being a legit point of contention.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
