Just downloaded it last night - great recording and I am really enjoying re-living Hyde Park on this... best live output for a long time in my opinion...
my only minor complaint is that they have left out the best two tracks of the gig (I went to number 1) - those were "Bitch" and "All down the line".

"till the next time..."

The iTunes version sounds ok to me (although I prefer my recordings, especially HP2, I shared obviously ><) but if you have some doubts about the AAC format, you can go for the lossless version on Qobuz or musicme [www.musicme.com] ;-)

What's the supposed logic behind making this available for only four weeks? Anyone?

Artificially limiting supply and encouraging customers to buy right now. Actually makes sense in my opinion - from a marketing perspective. No doubt the album will be available afterwards as well.

I thought it was a four week exclusive deal with Itunes....after that it would be available at the other usual places like Amazon, etc....

I certainly hope so. If it turns out to be a true limited-edition it will be very unfair and extremely annoying - but I think they just wanted to score an I-Tunes No.1 by concentrating all the purchases there for a while.

Green Lady, email me.

My covers if anyone's interested.

That's a drag. What? We had to hear a worn out SFTD and Tumbling Dice instead of the relatively less played Bitch and All Down The Line? (Not to mention the insult of the King of All Down The Line is backstage (Mick Taylor) and never got to play on it throughout this entire tour?)

"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

Love the sound

Thanks for the great covers, Deltics.

Peaks on the charts so far:

#19 Worldwide (38,000 copies sold according to mediatraffic)

#1 Netherlands (2 weeks at #1)
#2 Norway
#4 Belgium
#9 Denmark
#16 UK
#19 US
#23 Austria
#37 Australia
#41 Ireland

In the US, Hot Rocks is Top 5 on Itunes for 3 days now thanks to price sale and is going to chart again on Billboard next week. Jump Back could chart too, it's on sale on Amazon currently at #9 there.

Is from the hyde park concert on itunes. Fantastic mix!

It would be nice to have a physical album from the tour.

I would like to have it on DVD / Blu-ray first.


The best would be a box like that:

DVD 1: should contain the both O2 shows combined to include Bill Wyman

DVD 2: combined best of the 2013 shows adding up to a full performance

DVD 3: combined version of the 2 Hyde Park shows

DVD 4: Crossfire Hurricane Part 2 1983-2013

All DVDs should contain some Bonus material in order to use the available space.


Audio-CDs could be available separately, similar to 'Shine A Light', 'Live Licks', 'Rock'n'Roll Circus', 'Flashpoint', etc.

Don't worry it will be available in September or October - most likely. (There's already an official CD quality version available for download on a few online music retailers.)

The “50 and Counting” tour is almost over and already the Stones are setting a new trend, as far as their reputation is concerned, which is consistent with their old and new status as a live band.

[groundreport.com]

Steve Ellery: “Mick Jagger knew very well that many fans wanted to see Mick Taylor again. In reality, it was they who brought him back!” In most of the books about the Stones, this exceptional guitarist is rarely mentioned.

Good "us"!

Anyway, even though I haven't purchased the item, it is always hearth-warming to see the Stones reaching #1.

It's the first live album I own, where I was present myself - THAT IS a good feeling, I tell you!

Congrats with a well-deserved #1 to the Stones

That should be the biggest reason continuing "on tour" a bit here and there.

They are the best.

Where did you get that from ?

Hey Sebastian, are you the Sebastian Haß who wrote the book ?

He he, in a way I can understand that, too.

A couple of odd choices on the album, though. IORR the first night was way better, and Doom And Gloom must have been a train wreck on the second night, since they kept the first rendition, which almost fell apart towards the end. But it's rock'n'roll anyway, and I like that version, with warts and all

Several tracks that were included in the live album are the opposite ones to those people here on the forum agreed to be the best. I guess that in some case the line recordings of version X sounded better than the other, despite the fact the 2nd sounded better to the crowd. I personally thought GS/HP1, Satisfaction/HP2 and (certainly) JJF/HP2 were superior to those of the other shows - still all 3 were included as the inferior version - or so it seems.

Anyway: GS, for instance, sounds MUSICALLY great on the album version (HP2) - definitely if we ignore Lisa's vocal inappropriate improvisation ("Kissaway-kissaway..."). Might indeed be that thats what has been taken into consideration. Same said by others here about MR/HP1 VS. MR/HP2 - a issue I can give no input about as I personally dislike that song.

I guess I would have to dig into the bootleg world soon and look for a good full HP2 recording.

Yeah, true. However, the intro on GS on HP1 was butchered a bit by Keith.

He had timing problems with his JJF intro on HP1 as well, but that was easier for Clearmountain to fix, seemingly

Actually I was surprised how well "Doom & Gloom" worked at the second show, and even more pleased I was of the crowd reaction. At least people around me knew the lyrics and were sing-alonging... (Hmm... I should finally write that review of the show...). Maybe that sort of thing might signal something to Jagger's direction as well (and who knows, might have something to do with the latest turn of events in rumours thread...)

That was definitely the case with Doom And Gloom on HP1 as well.

It was a singalong from the first verse and on - a bit touching, really

When I first heard the song back in 2012 I was thinking to myself "oh god... they are not trying to write a retro-classic R&R song like they did with RaHP back in the 80s, ha?". Felt a bit embarrassed as a Stones fan. A day before HP2 I went to some meeting in an office in Hanover Sq. and the song played on the radio and suddenly sounded good... maybe it was as I was going to the HP "free" evening of that Friday soon after? The next day on the train to London I actually spent time with some App. I downloaded learning the lyrics of D&G, while listening to the song. Then at the show it caught me... Now I listen to it every time it get caught in the loop in my MP3 "random play" list from the RS playlist I actually listen to it - not shuffle on like with SMU or IORR...

What happened with the intro of JJF.. Sounds bad to me.. Too slow, like Keith is searching for the right strings..?!

Is it from the first or second show? Was there at the first, can't remember it.. So I guess it's from july 13th.
