For me, the album is 50/50 ... I already had Atlantic City bootleg (my own rip from the TV special) and played it to death before this was ever released.
I don't particularly like Can't Be Seen, and think the live version falls very flat. I heard too many live albums by this time and was already tired of them doing tracks like You Can't Always Get, Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, etc. My preferred album inclusion would have been:
Ruby Tuesday
Factory Girl
Little Red Rooster
Paint It Black
Sympathy for the Devil
Satisfaction
And some great B-sides, can't remember them all off the top of my head, 2000 Light Years (almost ruined by the short edit), Street Fighting Man, love the slow I Just Wanna Make Love.
Studio tracks? Wrong! No place for them here, should have saved Highwire for the next album and threw away Sex Drive.

Yeah, the B sides were a great addition and I will give both studio tracks 7.5/10. Don't understand why Sex Drive gets a bad rap. Couple more B side releases: PLay With Fire and Undercover. I'll have to give a listen this week…..

...the studio songs are embarrassing and unfortunately foreshadowed what was to come.

People on here don't like Factory Girl, Paint It, Black, Ruby Tuesday or the killer version of SMU?
Describing it as a piece of shit. Really?
