Yeah, that too.
How do you do that when you're on the road?

Well, yeah. That is a problem. Of course, the iPod docking cable helps...

Keef, from his book, "Life"
"...both "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" were done in two takes...The thing about eight-track recording was it was punch in and go. And it was the perfect format for The Stones. You walk into a studio and you know where the drums are going to be and what they sound like. Soon after that, there were sixteen and then there were twenty four tracks, and everyone was scrambling around these huge desks. It made it much more difficult to make records. The canvas became enormous, and it becomes much harder to focus. Eight-track is my preferable means of recording a four-, five-, six-piece band."
