Voodoo Brew/Hoodoo Scrounge

I just started listening to these discs. VB is 4 discs of VL sessions and HS is 1 disc from VL sessions. VB has 1 disc of just keith and his acoustic guitar. I always thought that Voodoo Lounge was a pretty good disc but after listening to these discs I've developed a new appreciation for VL.
It's always cool to hear outtakes and session work become an album. You get an appreciation for songs maybe you didn.t care for. I found that with Sweethearts Together. As you listen to the song develop, you start to enjoy it more. Brand New Car is also cool to listen to. There is one track where Mick and another vocalist (Bernard?) are doing a duet and it's a great version. The work up of Thru and Thru is interesting as well.
There is also a blues number, I think called So Long (I can't find my artwork). Great song. Good slide by Woody.
Keith's disc on VB is something every Stones fan should own...some really interesting stuff on it.
I highly recommend these discs to people who either love VL or can't decide on it.
It's sort of like the Alternate DW disc. If you listen to it, you develop a new appreciation for DW.
Keith of course is completely straight
