Spud,
You are SPOT ON about the magic that does NOT exist with CD as a format. I can't agree more. There is a legitimate reason that many of us (myself included) collect vinyl. Have a very specific memory of when I realized that CDs were inferior...
I was 11 years old (early 90s) and my father had purchased several Stones CDs for me. Our hobby was basically purchasing one every month or so. We had the records, but through years of wear (decades since they were his original pressings) we decided to get the 'latest and greatest'. I remember how crisp, clean and detailed She's So Cold sounded on vinyl... then I remember hearing the CD...
You said something very apt... I remember those 'notes' as if it was the very first time... Same with Can't You Hear Me Knocking... When those notes hit it shakes you to the core. On CD, I felt like something was 'missing'.
I agree with you COMPLETELY about the power and presence of analog. Many of my friends have been blown away after hearing someone like Radiohead or Wilco through my home sound system, or the studio setup (HS80Ms, paired NS10 sub, Audiotechnica turntable).. Their comments are normally something along the lines of "I never heard that before".
Brixton, however, is sourced from VHS. If we did an A/B test, I am willing to bet that no one would be able to tell the difference between a CD and vinyl version, aside from the crackling.
Now, to help illustrate everything...
The image above explains why we hear something unique in vinyl that we don't get in other mediums. It CANT translate fully since CD is so limited in resolution and depth.
As to VHS... Originally it was 100Hz to 10kHz, and then the hi-fi VHS decks had full 20Hz to 20kHz. The Brixton source really is great, but vinyl is simply not necessary aside from collectors who really want it on record. If I were at the show, I could see the purchase.. However, CD is more than enough resolution and depth to capture the recording perfectly.
VHS to CD or VHS to vinyl. Either way, you are hearing a VHS source.
CD is 'better' than VHS.
Vinyl is 'better' than VHS.
The format you choose for Brixton really doesn't matter. You are hearing either a clean VHS source (CD) or the VHS + crackling (vinyl).

While it will be released officially at some point a bootleg copy of the dvd will be available around the holidays, if not sooner...

Wouldn't the analog tape recording (VHS) be warmer in sound, hence transfer nicely to vinyl, Drake? Why are we losing so much along the way, making CD as a medium jyst as good as vinyl?

But the concert was recorded digitally. Then they transferred the digital source to VHS. If the Concert had been recorded on analog equipment then maybe it had made sense that the VHS would sound more natural but as the source is digital there is no difference.

This really is a gem of a recording. I will be listening to it again on my commute to film a blue festival tonight.

Just go to the "Buy and sell" and download it. Yeah, this"Monkey Man" IS great. These club show mixes are heads above the stadium mixes too! The guitars actually get some volume and its not so much the typical "Chuck and His Rolling Stones" sound...

To be fair, for some previous tours with Keith & Ronnie in "Chuckle Brothers" mode, the plinkaty-plonk did fill a few holes

Regarding Chuck, it is obvious that they have told him to turn it down for the 50 & Counting tour. Especially evident in Midnight Rambler, and other numbers where the need for honky tonkin' is minimal if not non-existant.
