Yep, Oakland was great, can't remember which night I was there out of the four, the third one possibly, best stadium show ever, the excellent row 11 seats Chelskeith had gotten for the UC gang didn't hurt of course!

I've always maintained that Waddy's guitar coda at the end of 'Anybody Seen My Baby' is the best thing on the whole album. Absolutely beautiful.

Need to give that another listen, is it the solo part that Keith is playing (miming if that's the case ?) in the video when he's on top of that skyscraper? Huh!

Yep.

The Chrysler Building if my memory serves me well.

From 4:10 on the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48M1M-0LUJY&feature=related

On the record, it goes on a bit longer - (from 3:46 for the remaining 45 seconds or so)

I'd totally forgotten Angelina Jolie was his baby in the video, that was right before she got famous. Very nice brassiere Perverted Mick

I've always associated the right channel with Keith's guitar. Keith gets my vote, with Waddy a close 2nd. I think if it was Ronnie, they'd mix it to the left channel.

The too tight solo is most definitely Keith, no question about it. All it takes is a listen to how he slides into the pentatonic box. And it only bleeds more Keith as it goes on. That and the tone give it away. That's probably my favorite track on the album. I love the way Keith finds the groove at the beginning and Charlie crashes into with such conviction.

I recall a J.D. Considine review of B2B where he said, on "Too Tight," the Stones were imitating Husker Du. I thought at the time, there's no possible way Keith had ever heard of the band, let alone took care to nick one of its songs. Maybe one of the most asinine claims ever made in a Stones review:

The article was off to a good start but very bad review , the guy grossly exaggerates some aspects (AOMe) and misses SOM and OOC. 1997 was quite year though for the ol'guys, Macca, Dylan, Stones...like 89 had been...both good years for me too incidentally!

Flip The Switch ~ Great opening riff and a tight little tune, I enjoy it!

Anybody Seen My Baby? ~ Essential Stones tune and one of my faves. Love the video with young Angie too. This was also MICK's intro into 'Rap music' We came to rock for Brooklyn, And Queens, And Manhattan, And The Bronx, And Staten Island, I can't forget
New Jersey
, and Long Island, And all over the world, we came to rock for everybody like this.. Shout to to New Jersey always makes me happy!

Low Down ~ I like it, it speaks a having an honest relationship I know that you won't lie to me, But you hold back the truth

Already Over Me ~ TRULY love this song! I've been hurt, So confused, I've been burned, I've been bruised, Are you already over me, Are you already sick of me

Gunface~ it took me a while to like this one, I'm not into violence and revenge.

You Don't Have To Mean ~ don't like it, because you DO have to mean it or dont say it! Whay bullshit yourself, it makes no sense.

Out Of Control ~ LOVE IT! I remember the first time I saw it played live, MICK builds it up from slow and soft to hard and fast. Yeah this song ROCKS!

Saint Of Me ~ LOVE IT! I thought I heard an angel cry, I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye, I thought I saw an angel cry A beautiful image, and a great tune.

Might As Well Get Juiced ~ Sometimes I dont like it and other times I do.

Always Suffering ~ MICK has some sweet vocals on this song but it's not one of my faves.

Too Tight ~ This song is amusing. Instructions to a new girlfriend!If you try to chain me up, I'll vanish like a broken dream

Thief In The Night ~ Absolutely great tune. Great when I saw it played live too. This is a very sweet song, KEEF wants to be with a woman who must be living with another man who, according to KEEF, isnt right for her. He's very persistant in convincing her to let him fvck her! He wont give up and it would be enough to convince me to open up and let him in! OK KEEF! You win!

How Can I Stop ~ Beautiful song. This song is about a KEEF contemplating an affair, but he knows that once it starts, it wont end. So I think what is he saying is it is better not to start at all, for the sake of his marriage. At least he is thinking ahead of the consequences. You tell me baby, Once I've started with you, How could I stop, Once I start
