I remember having seen this when it aired back in the summer of '90.
The band does a pretty good version of "IORR" introduced by Sam (at about halfway through the clip) but I'm wondering if there's a better quality version out there. I'm especially interested in the audio and I could have sworn IORR had the audio available a while ago but it's long gone...
Strange feature of hearing/seeing these 1989/90 live clips is that even though the nature of the band is this safe and sure Vegas version we all know nowadays, compared to some later incarnations they still have quite strong guitar players. Keith sounds like he could do anything with his axe. The solos sound so easy for him. At the time - remember? - there was nothing special in it ("of course he can play like that!") - now those licks and runs sound like rocket science!

Just compare their performance and their ability to play with recent shows. It's so obvious. The Stones were at their peak in 1990 - Las Vegas version or not - they never played better shows than in 1989/90 - and they filled the biggest stadiums two or three times - at ticket prices that were the highest at that time. They were the greatest AND the best rock'n roll band in the world !
