Another case of albums that seem to suffer not from the material that's on there but from the material that's missing:
The idea of a live album not focusing on the warhorses, but "rarer" live tracks is well-meant, but the omission of tracks like "Little Queenie" (a tour highlight plus a new, fast arrangement compared to YaYas), She's A Rainbow, Crazy Mama -just to name a few- really spoils it for me.
Yeah, they could easily have made it a double album.
However, I'm not sure if the performances of Crazy Mama and She's A Rainbow in particular were good enough for a release.
I'm not sure if it's suffereing from anything, though. Maybe in sales - but the quality is top notch, imo.
Sister Morphine is excellent!
Well, they doctor here and they doctor there, so with a bit of doctoring on Rainbow and Crazy Mama they could have cleaned the rough edges of these tracks as well.
I agree that even YGMR sounds absolutely fantastic here.
However, the commercial outcome of NS was disappointing to say the least, I seem to recall that in the UK, they sold roughly only between 900 to 1000 copies in the first week after release! Surely must have been given Mick a hint that the commercial appeal of projects that were aimed more or less at their hardcore fan base is actually quite limited.
Agreed. And live albums in general weren't really popular anymore in the late 90s

Disc 2 of LIVE LICKS is just as worthy as NO SECURITY really. The mix is a bit more aggressive (?) than NO SECURITY. Brown Sugar sounds incredible - if you can get past the hack job of the editing 'they' did.

November 4: Who's on the No Security cover?
The No Security CD is now out all over the world, and Stones fans may enjoy the memories of the BtB tour.
The front cover photo is taken at the show in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, and the guy is Wolfgang Dusek, optician from Vienna. The girl is still not identified.
