Every artist is aging and losing much of his flexibility, that's a natural process. Originally, rock music was the music of young people for young people. Nobody ever thought that the stars woukd still be performing in their 70s and even 80s. It is not nostalgia if you find the old recordings much better than the newer ones. As a rock singer, in your 20s to 40s you can sing with a lightness and effortlessness that you will not reach again from a certain age. It happens to all of us so it is not an offense but a fact.
Therefore, the golden years of live recordings vocal-wise for the Rolling Stones are actually from 1969 through 1973, and that has nothing to do with the taylor-Wood discussion. Mick Jagger was in full command of his vocals, andthey performed songs where he could show everything he was capable of. The live recordings of 1970 and 1971 deserve a specialmention and are a pleasure to listen to.
Think of other artists. Paul McCartney's voice is completely gone and a pain to listen to. Even if you listen to live recordings of Van Morrison who is still great to see live in concert you will notice that he is no longer able to create the excitement of his concerts back in the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s. Bob Dylan has often been very different as a singer from great to really bad but if I am not completely wrong he is more mumbling than singing these days.
I once saw BB King in concert when he was over 80, and it was great to be there because I had missed him earlier but I would not advice anyone to listen to his live recordings after 2001 because his voice was strained after then. Before that he gave some fantastic concerts!

That's working better than EPO. Lance would have won the tour 8 times if he had done the same.

Instead he chose Keith's method. He must be a great fan (at least his ex-wife is)...

She did a rendition with Eddie v Halen, "Bitch".
I think Keith's method doesn't work in sports, quite the opposite.

Brussels Affair is The Worlds Greatest Rock n Roll band at the peak of their powers.
I went to see the band when they last played in London and they blew me away so I'm glad that they still do it. However, without Charlie...... I'm not so sure.

You can't go "I recently listened to Brussels while cycling" and them proceed to talk about how the band is sub-par these days and your bets on who will throw in the towel

You find Mick's 1973-voice in concert superior to his 1966-voice? No way

Dandy, you and I are often on the same sheet of music, but here - WAY!
Same track list, same versions, same mix. Slightly different mastering.Quote

I just want to confirm that the 2011 official release of Brussels Affair is the same version as appears in the Goats Head Soup 2020 reissue such that there are no new live tracks from 1973 on the 2020 GHS release?
Also, if they are the same trax, was the mix from 2011 in any manner re-done or altered for the 2020 release?
Thanks in advance.
