The RS messageboards were going a bit nuts when the band unleashed Sway during the last tour and I was excited to hear it too. I have one other version from the Stateside tour, but the Glasgow version is superior due to the bigger guitar sound that I think the song needs. It has more swing in this version.
I know that my Rolling Stones writing output has been sporadic at best throughout 2008. I never followed up on Shine A Light, but it was an amazing experience I should have written about. I really felt like I had seen the band after the film was over. I saw at the Imax as I imagine it was meant to be seen and I wish I had gone back.
At the same time, the film made me a bit sad. Although the band always tries hard to come across as very "now" it felt a bit like a swan song for their live act. I always feel like this inbetween tours when it seems impossible that the beast could come back to life, but I wonder if it will really happen again or if I will see it when it does. I hope so.
