: after this weekend my tastes have shifted once more, and i am currently deeply involved with the acoustic bliss of BEGGARS. Does anyone else think Jig-Saw Puzzle is just about the best track on the album? REMEMBER...a suggestion, not a certainty being forced down your throat.
There is an outtake instrumental version of that on a boot called the "new" RSVP. It's really cool, you might like it if you don't already have it. Same song but much more of a jam, although it isn't very long, only like 3 minutes.
My favorite song (as a song) is SFM off that album, but the album cut of that song is not my favorite cut on that album. Its Salt of the Earth and No Expectations.
However, Sympathy and SFM are far and away the best songs on the album, I just like the live versions of those songs so much more, although not so much the 90s live versions, I liked the 69-73 live versions. Mick Taylor really made those two songs move.
