What a damn good atmospheric, dark, moody song...

I was gutted when they did'nt play it when I saw them last tour.

A song written during the Vietnam war, the gutar work is immense, played in open E

Great song for the open roads late at night when you are the only car on the roads..

Not a Stones fan by any stretch of the imagination but I do love this song.

Martin Scorsese uses it in about 3 of his soundtracks, top tune :cool:

There's a very good cover version by The Hellacopters too...
