Discuss: Shine A Light – SFTD

Stones - Shine A Light

Hi Folks, Carmen C. sent me a mail some days ago (sorry for the delay here, Carmen).

And she raised an interesting question which we are open to discuss. As always, please post your comments and find the place to do so a little scroll down on this page… 😉

Ok here’s what Carmen is asking us:

We treated ourselves to the Shine a Light CD on a long-drive home from the Northwoods.
One, I think you can make a case that our heroes never sounded better on a live album than at the Beacon that evening, in particular the guitar weaving by Keith and Ronnie.
Anyone wish to debate?
Two, and the reason for this note, I realized that on SFTD, Mick skipped his historic “who shot the Kennedy’s?” lines.
Do we think this was deliberate?
For me, it was the most impactful and bold political lyric by any rock band ever. I would be disappointed to think Mick was pulling his punches.

And here’s the corresponding video:
