I truely love it...the intro...and than some pretty good rocking on side a....Side b...Tumbling Dice...You gotta...and Fingerpr....Side three...the best ..they ever did....side four....the rocking final....lot s of fans do not like it....but I think its a exiting album with a great cover!!!Only Ya..Ya..is better.
also, hot stuff, and happy...well I'll just start listing every track if i keep going.
and I side 3 micks on stage banter is classic. "Its a bottom pincher from last night, watchout for your bottoms Keith". and of course the band introduction is classic.

Always liked it. 2nd best LIVE Stones album (which is not saying much).
I've always like SFTD almost as much as off Ya Yas. I like most everything of Love You Live.
As an added bonus- I bought it on 8-Track when it first came out and just about wore it out back in the day when everyone had an 8-tarck in thier car!!!!!
don't give me that ole one two, one two three four

Nope....the 1976 tracks are almost all substandard, made worse by Jagger's breathless, garbled singing (Mick does something on this album which I would otherwise have thought near impossible to accomplish - he makes Jumpin Jack Flash into a song that is almost unlistenable)
The El Mocambo side is, however, by contrast, truly magnificent - and some of the '75 tracks (Fingerprint File, Sympathy) arent bad
There could and should have been a good live album, with all of the shows they recorded over a period of two years. This wasnt one.

I have commented on here before how mick sounded out of breath and was barely singing by the time he gets to JJ F on this ablum. Not the best rendition, but I wouldnt go so far as to say....

I used to love it, but now that I heard the 'LA Friday'/'Who went to church on sunday.', I like that more. Though maybe fingerprint file is an exception. But for instance SFTD is so much better on LA Friday. The editing is really a shame there.
Rockman, thank you again. That series of photos from the launch party are great. I have seen a couple of Mick, Ronnie and Keith (back, back of his head to the camera) talking to some rich guy they know and I love em. Cant help but notice Keith being outside somehow. Toronto and the start of a two year period with cold turkey bugging him I guess.
echo Gazza....they should have culled an album from some of the better '75 performances - a great tour overall. '76 was pathetic by comparison. Better yet - an entire album from the Mocambo gigs. Stones live album decision-making has never been a forte...
Yeah, a great live album, but there are better live bootlegs from that tour with a really raw and rocking sound. LYL sounds so "clean" compared to those.
Come to think of it, Rockman, would you know know, perhaps, why Bill and Keith didn't take part of the OGWT interview in 77 ? THey're in the photo-session, as you posted the pic from....

The excellent El Mocambo side is the only reason to listen to LYL.
I love TOTA´75 but I have never been a fan of the forgettable ´76 European tour. Most of the album is taken from the ´76 Paris concerts which are probably their most overrated performances ever.
LYL is heavily edited (just compare the mutilated Fingerprint File album version with the original 06/17/75 performance) and some of the overdubbed backing vocals (e.g. BS, IORR, JJF) are godawful and almost unlistenable.
They should have released the standard TOTA´75 set in its full unedited glory.
I would have loved it with a better song selection
Disc 1
Honky Tonk Women If You Can't Rock Me Get Off Of My Cloud Hand Of Fate @#$%& Gimme Shelter You Gotta Move Tumblin' Dice Happy Heartbreaker Fingerprint File
Disc 2
Route 66 Cracking Up Dance Little Sister All Down The Line Fool To Cry Little Red Rooster Rocks Off It's Only Rock'n'Roll Brown Sugar Jumpin' Jack Flash
Yeah, regardless of the iffy performances, the album is terribly produced. I know they worked on it for a while--it came out years after some of the gigs--but the edits and overdubs sound like crap. Weird crap.
