I thought they missed the bus with this album. It was released in November of 1998... not a great time to release a record of any kind. Should've waited until spring of 1999.
Not that another live album by the Stones was going to sell big.
However, the track selection is, for the most part, outstanding. I could've done without Dave Matttthewwws - or at least just Mick and Keith on Memory Motel - as well as Live With Me, Respectable and The Last Time but considering the alternatives - a incredibly weak Crazy Mama, a hurried and too fast and shortened She's A Rainbow yet alone any of the warhorses... although I was surprised they didn't include Anybody Seen My Baby - it had to of been performed decent at some point.
And yeah, bizarrely enough, You Got Me Rocking is actually pretty good. It's faster and has no lumps in it, which is the only thing that helps that tune.
Gimme Shelter is excellent.
Certainly this would've been a better LP cover...

The bizarreness of this release is that it has absolutely nothing to do with the No Security Tour.
Is yet to come. After a new album that will be better than EOMS.Quote

the last great Stones tour, ever.

It is a little bisarre that they decided to "tour a live album", especially since the live album was so unsignificant with no new songs or anything. I mean, they certainly didn't do a "Ya Ya's" tour, or a "Love You Live" tour, or call the 1982 tour the "Still Life" tour.

There's a first time for everything, I guess
+ they had the tax-shows in England to do, right?
