3.0 out of 5 stars curate's egg, 20 May 2008
By freewheeling frankie (north London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
As a Stones fan who's not very enthusiastic about most of their post-Some Girls output, I wasn't exactly drooling in anticipation of this album. But it's safe to say that while it's hardly essential, it does prove, if proof were necessary, that they can still be a very fine rock'n'roll band when they put their mind to it.

The trouble is that when they take their eyes off the ball, as they do several times here, they're quite embarrassing.

Good things: Ronnie Wood's guitar playing, almost throughout. Charlie. The backing musicians. Keef's rhythm playing. Keef's vocals. Mick's vocals when he stops trying too hard. Shattered; All Down The Line (near perfect - what price a whole set of this quality?); Loving Cup (effective guest appearance from Jack White); Some Girls (better than the original); Champagne & Reefer (superb guest appearance from Buddy Guy); Tumbling Dice; I'm Free. The fact that they clearly haven't overdubbed one iota.

Bad things: Keef's lead playing, pretty uninspired most of the time. Mick's ridiculously mannered vocals on quite a few tracks, all the more annoying given there's nothing obviously wrong with his voice - though notice the absence of any tracks requiring falsetto. As Tears Go By. Christina Aguilera - she can sing, but Live With Me isn't a duet. Sympathy For The Devil - staggeringly inept compared to some tracks here. Brown Sugar - sounds like they've played it a few hundred times too many.

Overall they make a pretty convincing, if not often brilliant, noise much of the time, certainly they don't sound like most of them are over 60 - but more than any other Stones live album this is a warts and all recording and there are plenty of warts. For the most part the stuff that comes off best is the better songs among the less famous tunes. Also worth mentioning - Ronnie and Keef's guitar lines have often been hard to separate; here, Ronnie's in the left speaker and Keef's in the right speaker and you can tell who's doing what.

Worth buying if you enjoy latterday Stones, a long way from being their worst album (or live album) but I'm not in a huge hurry to see the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars and finally a great official Stones live album, 9 April 2008
There have been good, bad and ugly live Rolling Stones albums, so finally in 2008 we get a great one. In the past, Stones live albums have effectively been compilations of several different live shows. There have been highlights (`Midnight Rambler' from Get Yer Ya Yas Out', `Factory Girl' on `Flashpoint', `Beast of Burden' on disc 2 of `Live Licks', `Out of Control' on `No Security' - all awesome performances) and there are lowlights, such as the first live album from 1966 and the entire `Love You Live' album. Now the `boys' get bright idea of releasing a show from start to finish, and it really works. The opening four tracks tell you everything you need to know. At about 2:05 minutes into `She Was Hot', track 3, the band sounds like the best argument for rock and roll as the soundtrack to the best time of your life as any. Credit should go to Bob Clearmountain's mix - I always liked the job he did on Morrissey's long-forgotten `Beethoven Was Deaf' - it's got real punch and drive. Oh and Charlie Watts has never sounded better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely the greatest band of all time ... but..., 9 April 2008
By John K. Gateley "johngateley" (Bracknell, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Stones are basically a great garage band at heart. No fancy productions, just great, dirty rock and roll. They even make Oasis seem like Pink Floyd! This album is a strange mixture of old and great plus some less well known numbers. Where they struggle is the muddy production; it sounds like it was recorded at a blues club somewhere with a sock over the microphone. They may be dirty but the sound shouldn't come across as so 'cloudy' in this day and age. True, there are wrong notes etc. but it's the Stones. Versions of great tracks like Jumpin' Jack Flash, Tumblin' Dice and Satisfaction are workmanlike. If you see them in a big stadium, the sound is bigger and better but here it is almost as if they wanted a small club sound instead. Definitely worth buying. If anyone out there can sound like this when they hit 65, please step forward!
