Stevie and Rick, Chris and Billy

Did you ever hear the version of "Are You Mine" they recorded together?

Don't take me wrong, I like Rick Vito, really. Still, a band with just Mick, John, Chris and Billy would maybe have worked better...or at least a band with a non-vocal Rick.

Yes, I know where you are coming from- probably 'too many cooks' lost them a bit of identity. Perhaps just three voices would have been in keeping with their identifiable recent past. Also, they looked and sounded really good for Love Shines- I'd have taken more of that, with or without Stevie.

No, but I have now.

That's exactly what I'd have imagined. Why didn't they just put that on Behind The Mask? Beats the hell out of The Second Time.

I have always loved that duet. Stevie's voice is stellar!
