This is the best chance to hear what the stones were like live in the 60's (except for the DVD, 'stones in the park') as the sound on 'got live if you want it' is not too good. To be totally honest i think this is one of the best live Stones shows ever recorded. It is very different to more recent live albums such as 'No Security' as it is totally raw. No backing singers, no jazz band, just the band on stage playing their classics.
Recorded in 1969, Mick Taylor replaces Brian Jones and does a fantastic job.
The highlight, in my opinion, is the excellent version of 'Love in vain'.
They perform a version of 'Sympathy for the Devil' which is very different from more recent and they finish off with 'street fighting man'.
Although only ten songs long, it is a true classic. Ofcourse the sound is not as good as newer live albums but what the hell. It Rocks!

I've always loved this album but this remastered edition just blew me away. It's the Stones' best live album by several light years, both because of the songs they play and because as a live band they were at their absolute peak, with the newly recruited Mick Taylor firing on all cylinders and Keith ... well, Keith does what Keith does, arguably better than on any other Stones record - check the solos on Little Queenie for starters. The real revelation of this remastered version, though, was Bill Wyman, whose bass playing is far more creative than you'd think from his reputation as the boring quiet one. He simultaneously locks in with Charlie Watts to provide rock solid rhythm while playing some fascinating and at times quite leftfield variations on what you'd expect him to be doing at any given point. Did I fail to mention Mick Jagger? Well he's on pretty damn fine form too.
The selections from the then new Let It Bleed (Love In Vain, Midnight Rambler, Live With Me) equal or improve on the studio versions, the two Chuck Berry covers are an easy excuse for Keith to do what he does best, the opening Jumping Jack Flash is superb ... really, the only bum note is the (to put it mildly) politically incorrect lyrics to Stray Cat Blues, wherein Jagger reduces the female protagonist's age (15 in the studio version) to 13. I don't imagine for one moment that he'd write a lyric like that now, but it is a bit cringeworthy. Maybe it was about Bill Wyman ...
This superb album is a worthy member of the sequence of great Stones albums running from Beggars Banquet to Exile On Main Street and is as good as any of them. In fact it's one of the greatest rock albums ever made.

Before the Stones became showmen and when the music was still of great social significance, this is one of the greatest live albums ever. if you've ever seen the movie GIMME SHELTER and loved this wonderfully raw and dangerous Stones period then this is the album to get as it comes from the same tour which climaxed at Altamont with the tragic murder of someone in the crowd. Keef plays a savage buzzsaw rhythm whilst Mick Taylor plays lick after lick of classic rock guitar play. Street Fighting Man actually is my favourite on the album and for me is far better amped up and rearranged than the predominantly acoustic version on BEGGARS BANQUET. this CD is not to be missed. dont be put off by LOVE YOU LIFE or STILL LIFE, this is rock music and the Stones at their best.
