Miss You - The Rolling Stones

Love is the Drug and Shakedown are two faves, but Miss You is a blatant statement by a standard bearer of Rock and Roll, that “We are making a disco song”...It’s not corny or contrived (Rod), and, it stands up 40-plus years later.

Yup. Some Girls was the greatest response by aging rock dinosaurs to punk and disco. Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps is right up there on response to punk albums.

I’ve run across some rehearsal / out-takes of it, extended jams, that are much better than the take on the album, for me. Charlie and Bill kick ass here...

That’s funky. It’s not disco.

You guess are clueless when it came to the gay 70's disco era standards set to the rock genre.

Gloria was disco not disco rock. Cake took a disco track and made it not disco.

Another Brick In The Wall Part 2- Pink Floyd

That was comically hard. I could have gone with 5-6 of them. Including Rod (didnt actually consider as I'm still protesting the injustice last year).

This ain't no disco @alumni94 . It's not a show, it's a party.

I find interesting how they changed the song throughout the years.

Dick's Picks Vol 4 is in my view the most essential truly "live" Dead album. Europe '72 had some studio overdubs. I love Cornell '77 but that's not my favorite Dead era. 1970- 72 is peak Dead.

You should look into this. I'm starting to get all of these.

I've listened to many of them on Spotify. They do have a Europe '72 Vol 2 on vinyl now but it's hard to find a copy of (sold out early).

When I saw the title of this post, the first song that came to mind was "Miss You".
