Maybe they are plotting a decent DVD of "Video Rewind"?

So ppl can DL the audience recordings from various sites?

Just read the comments on the videos. People are very negative.

I can understand their reactions. to me it doesn`t sound good. and I think it is because of the bad mixing and editing

Not only are the sound and editing appalling but,out of an
entire gig, they chose to include clips of Keith playing a solo in the wrong key and Ronnie blundering through Wild Horses. Incredible really

Uploading these videos is the worst possible way for The Rolling Stones to promote their tour. They should spend a couple of days mixing and equlizing the audio before uploading that kind of videos if they wanna boost ticket sales.

Incredible, yes!

Maybe it's because everything in Youtube sounds shit so they wanna follow the trend! =-)
Or maybe it's the trend of the day of music business that there's no money to anything, and sound-designers and mixers or editors are paid nothing... Because everything sounds shit anyway in Youtube and in ipods and nobody cares.

Like Keef said he still listens to real cd:s and vinyls and cassettes cause they just sound better than mp3's. And they really sound better. Just bought by the way Grrrrr as a Blue Ray Audio-disc, and THAT IS the thing!!! You can hear the difference to itunes mp3's, or whatever if you listen the same song switching between. And when the sound of the cd or blue-ray is better it's easier for ears, you can listen the songs longer, but with mp3's you, or i get tired after a few songs.

It's actually a miracle that music-industry is still alive. What other industry could have survived over ten years people stealing your products in the internet and royalties and fees from writing songs go down 200 %, or something. THAT's why everything sound shit nowadays, nobody cares and the sound-technicians are not hired like they used to be. They were the first ones to go cause nobody sees them. Thank You.

And by the way the music clips from the concert sound like someone's monitor-mix recorded. No kick at all, no ambience. Maybe Charlie's monitormix. Don't know.

Because they're published on the official Rolling Stones YouTube channel?

Agree totally. If you actually set out to make them look past it you could hardly do any better. I couldn't believe what I was watching.

Had to see for myself after reading this...wow that's shockingly bad indeed.

Maybe because they don't do anything to them. It's not mixed or anything. It's just off the soundboard. If they mixed it and got the levels right, it would be a much better sound. Did anybody expect them to run those recordings past a studio to get the sound right for a fricking YouTube video?

They have form doing this. After the last night at the O2 in 2007 they posted She Was Hot and it was a train wreck. Hard to answer the question as to why though.

They need to hire me. Ditch the interns. I will do it for free!

The Keith out of tune bit was a strange choice for a compilation.

What is the matter with the people putting this together?

The reason is because they still plan on releasing, in lieu of a new studio album, disc media (CDs, DVDs) versions of the tour at some point, so that they can put out a "new" album.

If people have perfect soundboard versions of concerts to download from YouTube, then who would want to buy the "new" product to be eventually released on CD and/or DVD?

THat's not the reason.

These are snippets, not full performances.

Terrible ones.

Someone needs slapping in the marketing/production team.

Word will spread, this will go viral.

The Emotional Rescue vid is a full performance (albeit an audience recording), and there were plenty of full songs available on YouTube from the 2012 shows (again audience versions).

But the reason the official Stones page only releases snippets is because if they put out full clips that would be tantamount to bootlegging themselves.

We will have to wait for an official release, and not via YouTube.

Well, if the Stones actually would've put effort in getting the best sound and mix on their albums, maybe then the difference with MP3 would be more audible. All of their studio and live albums since Live Licks are mix and soundwise not among their best. They sound thin and too compressed and lacks dynamics.

MP3 is music for the mass, not really for the musical listener.

Have they removed the videos from Youtube yet?
