TrackTalk
This was one of my groove
riffs. Nearly all of
our tracks are recorded like this, with everybody there playing
together
in theroom. After 5 and a half years, Mick Taylor had suddenly
disappeared
and we were auditoning new guitarists, Harvey Mandel of Canned Heat
played
on this track.
Keith
Richards, 1993
That's just a lick, you know, just
one of
those licks, licks with no words – and that's your 'disco departure'
you're talking about. We opened with it because Hand
of Fate or Crazy
Mama
would seem too familiar, you know. So we thought it'd be nice to open
the side with something that wasn't sounding quite exactly like the
Rolling Stones... (The singing is n)ot really (like Dr. John). It's
supposed to sound more like . . . the Ohio Players!

Mick Jagger, 1976
That sucker felt good that
night. It really came
together that night.
