Too deep? Okay rah rah greatest hits.

I listened very carefully and you are wrong, Wood's track is not overdubbed, he simply cleaned up the sound as usual on live albums. Even his guitar solo is identical.Quote

Disc One
1. “Start Me Up”
2. “Brown Sugar”
3. “Rocks Off”
4. “Miss You”
5. “Tumbling Dice”
6. “Just Your Fool”
7. “Wild Horses”
8. “Fool To Cry”
9. “Angie”
10. “Beast Of Burden”
11. “Hot Stuff”
12. “It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll (But I Like It)”
13. “Rock And A Hard Place”
14. “Doom And Gloom”
15. “Love Is Strong”
16. “Mixed Emotions”
17. “Don’t Stop”
18. “Ride ‘Em On Down”
Interesting to see rock Off, Hot Stuff, and Rock And A Hard Place make the cut. Two from Blue & Lonesome is interesting as well. I'm not a huge fan of Mixed Emotions, but I'd rather have that than Anybody Seen My Baby. This is a pretty solid first disc here.
Disc Two
1. “Bitch”
2. “Harlem Shuffle”
3. “Hate To See You Go”
4. “Rough Justice”
5. “Happy”
6. “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)”
7. “One More Shot”
8. “Respectable”
9. “You Got Me Rocking”
10. “Rain Fall Down”
11. “Dancing With Mr D”
12. “Undercover (Of The Night)”
13. “Emotional Rescue”
14. “Waiting On A Friend”
15. “Saint Of Me”
16. “Out Of Control”
17. “Streets Of Love”
18. “Out Of Tears”
I would have replaced Hate To See You Go with Thru And Thru. I'm surprised Thru And Thru didn't make the cut anywhere. Surprised to see Dancing With Mr. D made it on the Deluxe album twice. It must be one of those universally liked by the band. That's cool. I'm still happy that Anybody Seen My Baby didn't make this album. That's my least favorite Stones song ever.
Disc Three – Live Tracks
1. “Get Off My Cloud”
2. “Dancing With Mr. D”
3. “Beast Of Burden” (with Ed Sheeran)
4. “She’s A Rainbow”
5. “Wild Horses” (with Florence Welch)
6. “Let’s Spend The Night Together”
7. “Dead Flowers” (with Brad Paisley)
8. “Shine A Light”
9. “Under My Thumb”
10. “Bitch (with Dave Grohl)”
I'm frankly amazed that Honky Tonk Women didn't make the album titled "Honk". Satisfaction and Jumping Jack Flash also failed to make the grade. That's surprising, but I'm glad they featured the deep cuts instead of the warhorses. This is more like a long bonus EP than a real live album replicating the concert experience.
It also would have been cool if they embraced the guest concept and had the entire album featuring guest stars. Maybe that would have been too much. Would it have killed them to include a track of Midnight Rambler with Mick Taylor?
That said, all these songs are winners. I still think they could have easily added another eight songs and at the very least satisfied my sense of symmetry.

No offense for anyone but I have the impression that in this forum there are fans who today are no longer fans. I have the impression that whatever the Rolling Stones do is never good and I am sure that when the new album arrives there will still be the usual controversy. All this is very pathetic, because the Stones are a band of over 70 years old, it's a miracle that they are still there and that they still play. In life we must also be content and not always expect ... if you do not want to buy yet another HIT Collection no one forces you, but there are people who will appreciate it.

Hate To See You Go has been featured live recently so they included it.

A great release. I mean it. I am just happy to be fan of them as long as they are alive. And to get my hands on new vinyl with new live releases - I am excited. Plus personally - I like the cover art. Looks prettier than Grrr or Jumpbackk to me at least.

they played it only twice (Zurich and at one of the Paris shows in 2017). Most people didn't know the song and even more people most likely forgot the song afterwards

Or Sway..........
And then there was a nice version of Little Red Rooster with Tom Waits in Oakland '13...missed opportunity if there ever was one
Shame, shame, shame on the Rolling Stones for their neglect and thoughtlessness - what a waste.
Maybe they'll redeem themselves with a HONK! 2 in a couple of years when the new album still isn't ready yet.

Midnight Rambler with Mick Taylor was officially released on Hyde Park in two different Versions and you have two excellent sounding Versions from the PPV in Newark and from Glastonbury.
