The Rolling Stones in Exile

Biography

The Rolling Stones were formed in London in April 1962 by Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica), Ian Stewart (piano), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica, guitar), and Keith Richards (guitar, vocals). Bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts completed the early line-up. R&B and blues cover songs dominated the Rolling Stones' early material, but their repertoire has always included rock and roll.

BBC Review

Your reaction to this live double album will depend on whether you see the Stones as gnarled has-beens or the greatest of all rock 'n' roll institutions. To the ardent fan, Live Licks is an essential document of their 2002/03 world tour, taking in everything from classic singles to covers and recent album tracks. But even for cynics it demonstrates how potent they remain as a live act, despite not frightening the horses as much these days.

Over three million people worldwide saw the 'Licks' tour, making it the second-highest grossing of all time, and on the strength of the first disc here it's easy to see why they're still packing them in. Old favourites like "Street Fighting Man" burst forth like sheet lightning, while "Paint It, Black" and "Neighbours" are so tight and sinewy that it's easy to believe the Stones get more skilled at performing with each passing tour.

Less famous numbers are still presented with undeniable showmanship, the effortless skank of "You Don't Have To Mean It" (from 1997's Bridges To Babylon) providing an unexpectedly sweet interlude on disc two. For the most part these aren't radical reworkings, although the omnipresent parping horns and hammering keys at times mean the sound approaches showband-esque sameyness, and a couple of tracks are marred by hamfisted editing.

More troubling is the self-censorship evident some older tracks. "Brown Sugar" is a bracing, sax-laden strut, but is shorn of its more provocative lyrical images of slavery and violence. Even the apocalyptic rumble of the original "Gimme Shelter" is transformed into something altogether more breezy and business-like, its chilling refrain of 'Rape, murder!' delivered with strangulated embarrassment.

It's telling that the unlovely album cover, depicting a girl straddling the band's tongue-and-lips logo, sells in both topless and 'clean' versions out of deference to the New Puritanism of 2004. With this incipient reluctance to shock, you may wonder what happened to the Rolling Stones of yore who urinated on petrol stations and outraged the establishment with the frank sexuality of "Let's Spend The Night Together".

Like Bowie, the Stones may no longer be churning out hits but they still know how to mount a spectacle, as this release amply proves. The blues legends they once aped performed as long as they were mobile, so why should Sir Mick and the boys be expected to throw in the towel early? --James Donohue

To be honest I was sceptical seeing the release of yet another live album. Due to my curiousity and the low price I finally did buy it (mind you- I did not get tracks all the extra tracks on DISC 2)and in all honesty- it's a fab live album. Satisfaction sounds very much up to date, Paint it Black rocks as ever, and I am very pleased to have a live version of Can't you hear me knocking. You won't regret the purchase of this cd!

Format:Audio CD
Right in time for the Christmas buying season the Rolling Stones release another live CD on the world. This time it is somewhat different - Side 1 are the "warhorses" that they must play at every show or the masses are upset. Side 2 is purported to be all songs never released before in live versions, which is not completely true because at least one, 'When the Whip Comes Down' was already on an official release ('Sucking in the Seventies') in a live version. Nevertheless, this album has a very guitar-oriented mix and the keyboards and background musicians play second-fiddle as they should to the Stones themselves. There have been complaints about the questionable editing done to some of the tunes ('Brown Sugar' loses at least 30 secs) while 'Rocks Off' has one of the worst edits ever released by the Stones (if you know the song at all you will immediately know what I mean). But the discs also have some very good performances. Witness 'Paint It Black' from last year's Twickenham show and 'Gimme Shelter' from the New York MSG show. They have emotion, pounding drums and slashing guitars enough for even the most jaded Stones fan. The songs on Side 2 are in the main excellent versions and indicate just how successful the Stones were in playing small theatres on the hugely lucrative Licks Tour. Buy this one for the casual Stones fan in your family or someone who indicated once they would like to have a live album from them - they will all be thankful.

The fact that there are two versions of this CD, one with a bikini-clad cover girl and the original sans bikini, makes you wonder about the priorities of the Western world, doesn't it?

Anyway, this is a really good live album. I've seen some people complain about the sound, but I can't hear it...it seems fine to me.
If you don't own any live Stones, you won't mind the fact that songs like "Start Me Up", "Street Fighting Man", "Honky Tonk Women" and "Satisfaction" have been available live for a long time and on several different albums. And if you do, well, then you're probably considering to buy this album because of disc two, which features a dozen rarely heard songs which have never appeared live before.

Now, I don't know why these rarities have to be compiled on a dosic of their own...I would have preferred them to be mixed in with the old warhorses on disc one. But that's the way things are, and it's nice to have them.
Disc one is highlighted by powerful, crisp and confident renditions of "Brown Sugar", "Paint It Black" and "Street Fighting Man", and disc two features a really good, bluesy "Monkey Man" and a wonderful take on the classic blues "Rock Me Baby". Other highlights include the 60s soul cover "That's How Strong My Love Is", and a driving (if slightly ragged) "Rocks Off". And of course one of my personal "cult" favorites, Keith Richards' swinging reggae-number "You Don't Have To Mean It".
You have to decide for yourself how you feel about Keith singing Hoagy Carmichael ("The Nearness Of You"), and "Beast Of Burden" could have been really good as well if Jagger would have sung it properly.

The Stones sound like they mean it on both of these discs, they're not coasting, and the large 13-man band is as tight as can be. And Jagger only slurs in his annoying faux-country way on a couple of songs.
"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out" and "Love You Live" remain the best live Stones albums in my book, but this one has a lot of fine moments as well. Still, it's one for fans rather than casual listeners.
3 3/4 stars.
