Don’t Stop

[aleuzzi]

Don’t Stop—it’s one of the first FM songs I remember (along with Rhiannon and SYLM). I have always LOVED the studio version with all of what Mick calls “the cream on the top.” The interplay of voices, the rousing shuffle, the synth playing key notes toward the end…

But it’s never been among my favorite live. I really dug Christine’s piano on it, especially that jazzy addition from the Tusk, Mirage and 1984 tours. But overall, it just never matched the magic of the studio version. By contrast, I love the raucous live performances of Hold Me from the Mirage tour…
