Re: Remake some old albums?

XM Radio has a great series called "Then Again...Live" where an old band goes in and performs an entire album live in the studio. Usually it's kind of a novelty thing with the likes of Alice Cooper or Cheap trick. The most notable exception is The Allman Brothers Band performing "Eat A Peach". They deliver a flawless reproduction with some new twists. Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks put their own stamp on variations of theh classic Dickie/Duane solos, and Greg even sings "Blue Sky". It is one of my favorite performances of the year!
That being said, I was wondering what album The Stones should attempt in that setting. I think "Let It Bleed" would probably be their best bet since they have done so much of it live recently, and that the absence of one Mick Taylor wouldnt be quite as obvious on that one as it would on their other "golden era' albums.
Of course, they could get really wierd and do "Now" or "England's Newest Hitmakers". That might actually be more interesting!
So, what album do we want tho hear the Stones do on "Then Again...Live"?
