In the mid-80's, it looked like there was a fracture in the Rolling Stones. Chief songwriters Mick Jagger & Keith Richards, collectively known as the Glimmer Twins, had had a falling out, and while each released solo records (Jagger had 2 to Richards' 1), the time apart healed all the wounds, and the band was back together to release and tour in support of their 1989 CD, "Steel Wheels".
The first single, "Mixed Emotions", was a mix of concept and performance in the video. The band is in the studio with various guest musicians, including Chuck Leavell, joining them. Then, you have Jagger, dressed in workout gear, looking like he was shooting a fitness video. Finally, there is that rarity of rarities. Jagger taking a turn on guitar alongside Richards and Ron Wood.
"Mixed Emotions" peaked at #5 on the Hot 100, but deserved to go higher.
