Don't know who is responsible for putting this together, but this really is the best Stones release since that much under-rated album Dirty Work. Allright I know that's a controversial remark, but anyway the best since Tatto.
The Amsterdamn stuff is great, especially Gimme Shelter. I'm a Wood-hater, Taylor-lover, but I think this is the best GS version ever. Keith and Ronnie work the "weaving" thing better on this tune than anything else (except maybe, Hold Back!)
Why did they relegate Storm, On Top of Me, etc. to extra status??? Ditto some of the Voodoo Brew/Stew stuff? Makes you wonder about our boys' decision-making process. What else is "in the can"? B2B outtakes? What gems are out there?
