That was in another time forgotten space never to be duplicated. As far as live, Mick should just sing it.

Like Holden stated...GaGa live...I guess because it was fresh and she has pipes that won't stop...
Lisa has been wonderful over the years...however predictable...would love to have seen her features in a few other songs...
Merry...well, what happened in that studio was magic...as you can hear mick a few times WOWED in the background of the song...wasn't there a "Fuck Yeah" somewhere in there??

The studio version is the greatest Stones record ever - so its an easy choice.

Cindy Mizelle (now with the E Street Band) sang it at the televised show from Tokyo in 1990 that was released on the Stones Archive store earlier this year.

Not sure how often this happened (maybe Lisa had a cold that night or something) but she does a pretty good job on what is one of my favourite latter day versions. Jagger really loses himself in the song towards the end - marvellous stuff.
