I prefer Hot Stuff for it's funkiness. Maybe just too burnt out on Miss You. Hot Stuff sort of set the disco stage for the mass success of Miss You.

Hot Stuff by a country mile. That was clever

<- Disco still sucks !!

Yes disco does still suck.Which is why I despise both of these songs. As well as Fingerprint File. Because of that faux disco type sound. Either give me a lovely beautiful ballad. Or give me a balls out rocker. You can take the disco sound and shove it up someone's Kiss my undercover ass

I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye
So gimme just a minute and I'll tell you why

Funny, I never thought of HS as a disco tune. Sounds more reggae to me, but I suppose I can hear some disco in it.

ah Zack - must disagree - i thought the straightfoward 4/4 beat of Miss You was not that original or exciting - i love sugar blue's harp - now i agree that was an original sound (ha! - tell that one to Larry Adler!) - well at least a break-away from mick's more or less blues harp stylings

HS on the other hand, while JB derived - to a degree I would say, not "pure(ly)" - for me taps deep into keith's own brand and idea of funkiness (for want of a better word) - the (hot) stuff indeed, which sets him apart from all others and HS is where it emerged fully formed, practically without warning - i can think of no other track released before it (ok - maybe Luxury at a pinch) that - overtly at least* - predicts it

* the fact is compared to his peers even keith's rock and roll eg JJF RO MM has an inherent "funk" that none of his peers (excepting Jimi, if you consider him one) could come close to

Miss You by a mile. Especially the longer version. Its simply a GREAT record. "Hot Stuff" is merely a really good groove.

That said, I never wish to hear Miss You in concert again. Theyve never been able to do it justice live, especially after 1982. Hot Stuff has been badly overlooked post 1976. They did an absolutely smoking version of it - with a great horn arrangement - at the opening Voodoo Lounge show in DC in 1994, and then unforgivably dropped it from the rest of the tour. Its hardly been played since.

I'd agree, Miss You is almost seminal, whereas Hot Stuff is an experimental groove that points towards Miss You and Emotional Rescue,
I'd say that the St Louis 98' version of Miss You is awesome though What the fuck?

I try to skip it on the DVD. The real question for you masochists is, what's worse: Miss You live (after 82) or Rain Fall Down live??
