Last great album. Real classics; they took it on the road, and played them every night. Solid guitar work all over the album, and strong songwriting throughout; i.e. No embarrassments (like Voodoo). Lyrics are good too.

I disagree when it comes to comparing Bridges to VL. I think Voodoo Lounge was a better album and tour. In my mind, Bridges tour clearly was the first time the Stones seemed a little older, a little slower, and a little less energy. Voodoo Lounge was still high energy, like the Steel Wheels tour, but not too polished like the Steel Wheels tour. Voodoo Lounge was the last tour Ronnie was still awsome, a HUGE contributer. And Keith's fingers moved like a different person than today. On Voodoo Lounge, Keith still carried so much of the sound (unlike today). Charlie really stood out on the Voodoo Lounge tour too. He swung hard! And Mick was like a kid. The band was GREAT in 1994. VL is the last tour they really looked young and really a lot stronger pyhsically. To me, the Bridges To Babylon tour was a step down. Furthermore, they have never returned to that level of VL. I'll go as far as to say that Voodoo Lounge was one of their best tours and that they were in top form.
I also want to note how tight they were on the VL tour. Maybe the 4 of them really made a point of tightened up the 4 of them, because they had to break in a new bass player???

IMHO the BTB tour was the last where Kef and Ronnie were on just about every night. Their playing has gone down every tour since then..........

"Juiced" sound much better live. I thought it was excellent when they played it during the 1/17/98 MSG show. It sounds great on the "Sweet Home New York City" Crystal Cat CD...sounds like it scould have been from an album fromm the 70's.....

Gazza, I've always understood Ronnie's talk about ALL the tours, ESPECIALLY the first 3 (75-82). Not denying any of the others but he does go one about those tours in general, "back in the day" kind of talk.
