Beggars Banquet Vol.3 #23 says that Sympathy went into the set at the 2nd Vegas show (10/15/94) and Love Is Strong got moved up in the set. Although not played that night, Dead Flowers and Sweet Virginia are great alternatives.

You believe all the people the Stones were hanging with in the 70s were better people, regarding sex with underaged girls?

WTF is wrong with you?you think the Stones and the people they hung out with were no better than a guy who drugged and raped a kid?
If I thought that I sure wouldn’t be anywhere near their fan site that’s for sure.SMH

Anyway,they should use the vault series for something rare,that Miami pay per view was ok but there were way better shows on voodoo.
I was at both those Vegas shows and either of them would have been a better choice.
They were doing stadiums and MGM was 13,500 and their first time playing in LV,epic shows.

I think they were playing Sympathy every night that tour...they probably dropped Love is Strong for the duets with Robert Cray and Bo Diddley.

Yep, according to the Setlist November 1994: [iorr.org] , but they omitted SFTD from 1-Aug-1994 until 15-Oct-1994: [iorr.org] , [iorr.org] , [iorr.org] .

They skipped Sympathy for the first months of the tour and started playing it in Vegas mid october. After that show it was in every stadium setlist until 2003 or so.

You’re right. Sympathy relaxed love is strong

Interesting. I only looked at the IORR set list tab for November and saw Sympathy had been played every show that month leading up to the PPV. Didn't realize they started the tour not playing it.

They actually added Sympathy about 10 weeks into the tour but kept Love Is Strong...it was only for the PPV that they dropped LIS.

I'm wondering why they have chosen Miami, they broadcast Rio in 95, Johannesburg in 95, Tokyo Dome in 95 all of which are great shows. Rio being epic, Maracana going bananas.

The ROIO/Vids are probably more loved anyway as they are i guess, although i'd love to see one of these at 60fps to enrich the texture of the footage

They only performed it twice on the euro leg in 1995. When they finally played it in Norway in 1998, I was in the US. Missed it! Hope they'll play it one day..

Looks like the song was essentially dropped starting with the Australia/New Zealand leg. It was played at most shows in North/South America in '94/early '95.

It's a great album song with a GREAT video, but it didn't entirely work live. Maybe it's too atmospheric and sparse...it just doesn't have enough drive, particularly on a big stage.

Agreed. They made it work here (on a smaller stage), though (imo).

Ha, that MTV performance is what got me into the Stones in the first place. I can still remember watching it as a teenager and thinking, "Damn, these skinny old guys ROCK!"

Keith should have sung it Live, imo it would have been stunning

Love is Strong. Stones, maybe, last attempt to sound contemporary. Probably a Mick song. I know that many likes this song. I'm not one of those.

Thanks for the video, I had forgotten its existence. I love Keith's moves around 1:45. But I think the studio track has never worked live. Maybe because of the vocals. Mick is clearly struggling at the beginning to keep it as low as possible.

All the studio versions we have are so wonderful, though. Such a good sound, so sensual

It was criticised for its retro-sound.

In the context of the whole album (and much of the latter era really), it is one of the stronger songs - but the video was even better than the song itself.
Sort of a Land of the Giants meets King Kong meets Godzilla meets Attack of the 50 Foot Woman meets the Stones.

Love is Strong

Don't be naive..

Love is Strong, probably my favorite modern era song. However they never perfected it live in my opinion. Still I love Voodoo Lounge and the tour. I Go Wild

Miami 1994.....it was a real letdown back in 94/95 when the bootlegs came out, due to the soundquality, the speech by Whoopy, the playing/mood (no mood) and the hopes I had, when reading the setlist in Basement News.
And I understand that New Orleans 1994 was ruined on the broadcast, due to some mistake by the engineers.....but why on earth broadcast Miami 1994 on the TV as it sound like it does?
Even though the band ain't exactly in overdrive, the official Voodoo Lounge Video from East Rutherford 1994 was the only one I ever gave more than 3 spins out of the first couple of 94/95 bootlegs.

yes and no. although horrible in sound and NYC94 being much better in sound, I remember the huge upgrade in playing compared to the tour start I witnessed in
Washington DC.
of course, not to compare to the huge upgrade in sound and performance in 1995.
on the VL Tour they just got better and better, being at the top in july 1995.

True, that, some of the 1995 shows were the best shows ever after 1982

Yeah, 1995 was amazing. Never understood why they didn't record any of those shows. Same could be said for the Bridges to Babylon.

The Chile-show was broadcasted on the radio, no?

Yes sr

Sorry, I should have said European Tour. You can add other SBDs like Tokyo (my favorite) and some more South America cities too.

well of course we got the club shows officially received.
but talking about stadiums sure, like Eddie said, they recorded every show
from 1989 onwards, so they could every show, if they would like.

if Karnbach reads that, I want both Basle95 shows to be released, lol.
