Jumping Jack Flash, and Live With Me, are mind-blowing on this release, better than on GYYYO.
The audio quality is also fantastic for being such an old recording.

Very bland versions of Street Fighting Man and Dead Flowers,
Keefs monotonic soloing on Bitch is a bit too much for me.

Any live release from 1969 - 1973 soundboard, professionally mixed will always be in the top few Stones (and other bands) live releases...because they were so good live during this period.
I find JJF here a little out of tune.
This show is nowhere near the perfection of ya ya's..plus doesnt have the electric/atmosphere of the 1969 tour.
Its still a great show...
If the Stones ever release Essen 1970 in this format then you will find a true rival to ya ya's !!!
Except that there aren't many overdubs on GYYO. Six vocals and one or two possible guitar overdubs. Only one overdub was actually different to the live performance and that's JJFlash because they wanted the phrasing to match what everyone was familiar with as opposed to the drawn out version from the tour.Quote

Well Ya Ya's is perfect due to the many overdubs.

Live At Leeds University is a good performance but it doesn't sound overall badass to me. Something is missing, as if they are aware of being recorded. 'The RS 1971 live-itch' I guess.

Good to have Leeds in stereo, but I'm not too fond of the way a lot of these vault shows have been mixed. Too much fake reverb on everything. Maybe Clearmountain is attempting to restore some "venue ambience" to the recordings, but I prefer the dry sound of the boots.
Leeds and the Marquee both seem like "off" gigs for Keith. The Roundhouse stuff was a revelation.

Uhhhhh. No on Jumpin' Jack Flash being better than the one on GYYYO (or GIMME SHELTER for that matter). Live With Me is interesting in that it's got the same mean ass progression that they did in 1969 but starts with the piano this time. It's a mean shuffle, unlike what they did in 1994 etc like the album version.
Listening to Stray Cat Blues is a great example of how Mick really SANG back then.
It's pretty good and only better than GYYYO strictly in terms of how much more is on it. Let It Rock is awesome. But GYYYO is still supreme.

The Leeds version of JFF is stupendously good. JFF from GYYYO doesn't come near it.
I can't understand how anyone would ever prefer the GYYYO album to Leeds. Leeds is superior in every way, it has excellent audio quality (GYYYO is a muddy mess), the playing is better from years of touring since 1969 and the addition of Ian Stewart on Love In Vain + Bobby Keys on Live With Me settles the deal.

Leeds is indeed better than GYYO and so is Brussel and LA Forum and Shine A Light.
GYYO is good but not supreme and almost everything on it is faked, so forget about GYYO. Meanwhile there are much better live documents available. Most of them are not faked.

Alas, I live in Germany and that means that I can't hear it as well as we can't hear or see here so many other vids.
It's all blocked here by GEMA. It's a real shame.
Well, I don't want to say more about these people.
Listen to it on Spotify. It's all there.

My main gripe with this show (and with most of the 1971 shows I've heard) is that Keith and Taylor are very sloppy with their choice of sound. That destroys it for me. That is even worse on the Marquee show, though.
Taylor's spiky, thin sound on JJF. Keith's too clean sound in places. Doesn't work for me.

Yeah Keith's tone has none of the telltale Ampeg grit and grumble at Leeds. Sounds more like a clean, high-powered Fender silverface of some kind.

And nothing tops Ya-Ya's of course!

Their best show.
Love all from this recording.
Keith on fire; MT on fire; Jagger is a brilliant here.
Great tour
