Rolling Stones : Wild Horses - Knebworth 1976

"You wanna hear a sad sad song?" asks Mick to the crowd at Knebworth, as they headlined the Knebworth festival in Hertfordshire, UK, on 21st August 1976. There were 200,000 in the crowd that night, amongst them Paul and Linda McCartney. Also on the bill were Lynyrd Skynyrd, 10CC and Todd Rundgren.  The question of whether the song is genuinely sad is debatable. It started with riff and a phrase from Keith that fitted, because he was 'doing good at home with his old lady'. Undoubtedly poignant and wistful, almost to a fault, it turned into one of the great love songs of all time. In an awesome performance, the question occurs: is this one of Ronnie’s best solos ever? Many think so.

This is something that I found on the stones website that I thought I would add to the archives.
