The modern era often lacks the right guitar sound. Thin and in the background mixed guitars were recorded on all the boots from '89 onwards, especially on the boots in question Atlantic '89 and Miami '94. Too much prominent Chuck tinkling and so on. So it would be worth to get new versions with more prominent guitars recreating the typical "conservative" Stones sound. But this might be the only benefit, if we get Atlantic and/or Miami. Anyway I would prefer more unknown or still badly documented recordings from the sixties (Brian era, '69/'70 tours), seventies (Mocambo of course) and the '99 tour.
Atlantic City has enough in-your-face-guitars for me:
Ronnie too much in the background for me (his rhythm guitar is great here), not enough channel separation. A sound a little bit too "from far away" + too much echo etc.
Yeah, agree, but all the audience noise is making this sound bigger and less intimate than it really is, I think.

bcbudI'll happily accept anything, but I'd be most happy with '64 BBC stuff, '67 / '66 concerts and El Mocambo. That's the stuff we're missing most.Quote

this sounds typical of their generic, over-produced "modern day" (Vegas) sound, which is well represented in the catalogue, starting with Flashpoint; although I have all the latter day recordings, they seldom are played.
the archival releases have been excellent so far, but anything post '81, I'll likely pass ...

How about a compilation of "rarer" songs played in the later years? On some nights, over the years, they played some really great versions of some really great non-war horse songs. Does a bootleg have to be from one night? How about 20 songs from over 30 years.... those special versions of Dead Flowers, Sway... etc etc

I know(have heard) that they dont read here... but maybe someone does... and that is why I even take my time to throw these ideas "out there"... who knows.... maybe someone... somewhere will read it... dismiss it... but then in 6 months, or a year, think of it... make it their own... push for it... get it done... and then we get it... which is all I want.
I am just delighted they listened/responded/however it happened... and finally...
OPEN THE VAULTS!! a long term IORR battle cry

Also, is there any reason why Altamont wouldn't be released, aside from ABKCO issues? The distuption to the show was relatively minor, lasting across 2 songs. Mainstream press and media would report the official release of this show, bringing the band some attention and undoubtedly additional sales.
I just can't get excited about 1971 shows unless it's got CYHMK.

I still think the Voodoo Lounge tour has the best options at this moment for the next bootleg.
Main reason for this thought is they did not publish a real live album (Stripped was something
special in the "unplugged" hype) from this tour. And I think it was an interesting tour with
a strong emphasis on the guitars and some interesting setlists.

Well, if I am facing the gun, and that's the only option (Vegas era) - I would pick up those two, too. But in both cases I rather would like to have a proper DVD release instead. I suppose Paradiso show is caught totally on cameras as well?

I think it's not in our interests to howl any thing else here than the 3 I mentioned before ( 1964 BBC, 1966 / 1967 concert, El mocambo ) but if we are to act against our own interests I would not disregard the double door. Quite excellent from what I heard on the bootleg.Quote

From this era I would strongly suggest "Stripped Companion".
