Really AWSOME!!!! Both the CD and the video are among the best , if not THE best STONES ever.
I wish we could have this as an official DVD, with the great sound and everything....
I have a shit copy in a low quality DVD. Anyone knows where can i get a good quality copy?

and (sorry) to re-do Love In Vain with Ronnie after the majestic version on Ya-Ya's only illustrated the profound difference in the relative power of those two versions of the band and those two players.

I slightly disagree here - of course YA-YA'S! version does belong to another reality, but I think this acoustic version has unique charm of its own. It is arranged differently, and not even try to compete with either of the original studio or live version with Taylor. I think the point of this version is nothing but Mick and Keith co-work - them playing together intimately a Robert Johnson song Keith long time ago transformed into a Stones tune. It is very rarely one can feel the Glimmer Twins co-working so tightly "these days". All the rest, for example, Ron's slide, is just icing the cake, and carefully not trying to steal attention from the real thing. This is a Mick/Keith moment. Nothing to do with Wood or Taylor.
Actually one of those rare moments when the "modern" Stones actually touches me.

I agree that this the most listenable post-reunion Stones album, with a nice band feel to it. I don't hate any of it. My criticisms were minor, except maybe the Chuck piano Tumbling Dice thing, which I have never been able to live with.

You might be able to live with it more than you know...the "Tumblin' Dice" cut only appears on "Stripped Companion" and then later on the "Rarities" set. So, hopefully that should make you're next "Stripped" listen a little more pleasant!
