I am not a big fan of the Chuck/Darryl/Bernard/Lisa/BLondie/horn section era, either, but this is not the full-on Chuck/Darryl/Bernard/Lisa/BLondie/etc. experience, yet. I consider this tour to be a transitional phase between the raw guitar-based versions of the band (1962–1982) and the full-on "session musician/Vegas years" (1994–2007). In 1989/1990 it had not yet become a routine, it was new and fresh, the back-up musicians had not yet become something to fall back on and BILL WYMAN WAS STILL PLAYING BASS (which makes a huge difference, I think). This show still has the magic.

This one is available for download at the Rolling Stones website. In the archive section. I bought it yesterday now I'm just waiting to see if anyone is going to post the jewel case inserts?!?!

Well, I'm finally giving this a thorough "all the way through" listen and I just have to say, I don't care what anyone else thinks... I think it is an excellent performance. I love the tour (my first Stones concert ever was Philly '89, the first show of the tour), and I also love the album. The Steel Wheels numbers featured at this show sound great, were performed amazingly and I think they stand up well to time. Keith was seriously on his game too.

I don't agree. Imo the SW tour was way more overproduced than i.e. the ABB tour. Also, the latter featured more prominent guitars in the mix (although not better played of course).
On the SW tour there were numerous songs that actually were connected to one another with intermediate samples, keybord playing etc. It was directed with very meticulously timed props. There was way less room for setlist changes and it was much more of a musical style of follow-up.
Also the SW tour had a horn section that actually performed line dance in matching outfits [!], three dedicated backup singers, two keyboard players, lots of stairs and balcony's....
Although I love it, the SW/UJ tour was much more of a Vegas act than any Stones tour before or after.

AND: I think the Miss You version, false harp and all, is brilliant - Jagger's singing and small interjections is one of his all-time high points. The band is also spot on all the way. That's the version I play when I give a party.

Bill Wyman sounds genuinely bored here. Usually in every show there is always something he does in these live sets that make me smile, some little lick or flourish or an "ah, that's Bill!" moment, but he appears to be completely and totally coasting and phoning this one in.

That’s the difference a fantastic band, and a professional band.

Short review of the show…score’s 1 to 5. 1 is unlistenable, 5 is 70’s Stones at their peak.

I don't know if Bill's father dieing affected his playing for this particular gig or not. I think it's a bigger problem. The vastness of the stage for Steel Wheels, and the uncountable extra singers, musicians, etc, played against what made Bill so great. He is overwhelmed by a tsunami of sound. He can't get his feet planted and push and pull against the band. His playing has little effect on the proceedings at all. Picking him out he sounds like he's just playing the songs note for note, just to keep up. The aural situation makes it impossible for him to put the bottom under the band. Maybe that's one of the reasons he left. It wasn't fun any more, and he could still influence a studio recording, but the stage had become an unfriendly place for a sensitive musician.
