Trust me falo, there have been better Brown Sugar threads.
This one for instance makes zero sense speculatively.

High-quality, yes, but it's not a boot anymore because it's official, and that pisses me off no end.

Just out of curiosity, why would that piss you off? I am personally excited about getting a high-quality official release.

Just a joke, Imposter, just a joke! I just wanted to add some irrational spice to the sometimes all-too-serious discussion here.

I for one am glad that they open their vaults, although the "true gems" are obviously saved for later.

But, thinking about it, it can be discussed if this whole "official bootlegging"
in general (also by other artists) is a bit of a misleading marketing tag.

I have to agree with those who are saying there's way too much negativity on this board. Perhaps we can all agree that the Stone hit a creative peak with the Big Four and their free-form "jamming" tours of @ '69 - '81. But just because an artist reaches a peak, that doesn't mean that everything that follows is garbage. I think the Stones have given us loads of great music post-golden era. Perhaps the tours of '89 on have not been as full of surprises as earlier tours, but those who say that every performance of every song sounds exactly the same on every tour from '89 - ABB need to have their ears checked. Personally, I can usually hear a boot of JJF or other warhorses and be able to tell which tour it's from. Contrary to statements of the "Vegas Era Bashers," I find the the Steel Wheels, VL, B2B, NS, Licks and ABB tours each had their own unique vibe and sound and the performances are definitely not carbon copies of the Steel Wheels arrangements. C'mon people. This is The Rolling Stones - a band that's given us decades of pleasure and great music. We should be celebrating them. I've read enough of "Ronnie really blew this solo, Keith can't even walk without Patti holding him up," etc, ad naseum. People are free to speak their minds but I think the bashing has skewed this board into a place that's not as much fun as it should be.

Why do everyone keep saying it will cost 5 dollars? It will cost 7 dollars for the lossy mp3 version which the USA costumers can buy, and 9 dollars for those outside USA who prefers Flac-quality files.

only difference with all the vegas jjf is where in the set it is played. if they play it in the beginning instead of the end, you don't get the cheesy horn section and you don't see (but you still hear) the three stooges singing back-up. you always get the same phrasing from mick. you always get the same tired riff from woody throughout the song. the only other difference is the song lasts longer when it's played at the end. this is basically true for all the other war-horses, you've heard one vegas version, you've heard them all... big reason why people have come to hate the war horses.
