Midnight Rambler- Shanghai- mother 'o mercy!

It's a tough slog to get through all the near identical smartphone videos of near identical Stones performances to find a real gem, but every once in a while one deserves to rise through the clutter and be heard.

This came to my attention via kleermaker on the IORR site,
and it jolted my complacency regarding Midnight Rambler on this tour, once the initial novelty wore off.

The fun starts around 2:40 with a remarkably fluid MT solo, but the hits the next level at 4:20 where MT gets a rare (these days) second solo that is a masterpiece of tone and sustain.

Very nice. MT is finding ways to make it interesting for himself, at least!
