also reissue Love you Live

It's not worth it. Ya Yas and Brussells are top of the heap. Even Flashpoint and Still Life are better than LYL.

YaYas and Brussels are indeed top of the pile. Flashpoint is sterile. Still Life is “thin” sounding.

LYL is rough, tough, shambolic, energetic pure rock and roll. WAY better than sterile and “thin”.

LYL is a great live record, though I have always thought side 3 didn’t belong. I love it. But it simply don’t belong on LYL.

I hope for the full show from the Mocambo. If it doesn’t eventuate, I’ll hunt down the original poster!! LOL.

Thin? How?

I love Factory Girl from Flashpoint. ("Bill doesn't know.") And the 20 Flight Rock - Going to a Go Go twosome from Still Life. They beat anything on side 1, 2, and 4 of Love You Live.

To my ears the sound of Still Life has always been “thin”, as in, not full. It’s always sounded empty. Compared to the sound of YaYas and LYL it is completely devoid of soul. It’s empty. It’s.. thin. Plus, I HATE Jagger’s vocals on this record, in this era.

No amount of repeated listening (and I DO listen to it, well Going to a GoGo and Twenty Flight Rock and occasionally Time is on my Side) or watching that dreadful concert video/DVD improves it. It’s quite listless and easily the worst sounding official live Stones record there is, even worse that the shiny Flashpoint.

Whats ya thoughts on Rivita Thins please Rod

ROCKMAN

They sound different in 81, because they change their amps, Mesa boogie heads instead of Ampeg.The Ampeg sound is more warmer and it was the case in 69/72/73/75/76
Still Life sounds different but not thin they also use more reverb on the 81 tour, to make some songs more vintage.

Amps may impact the way a band sounds on stage, but the way the album sounds is largely dependent upon post production. Mixing and mastering can make a fat show sound thin and a thin show sound fat! And that doesn't even take overdubs into consideration.

Love this record. Jagger fabulous. I think there's a bit of reverb, maybe that's what you mean by 'thin'?

Love You Live would have been better if the bulk of the songs came from the 1975 tour. The If You Can't Rock Me and YCAGWYW are the two of the worst .

I agree. Still Life was (and is) a disaster. I had been fan since 1974, but SL made me take a break I returned to Stones-fandom by Steel Wheels (which hasn't aged that well though). I look forward to the El Mocambo-release...

Exactly this. I was used to the Hampton sound before (complete tape & Grand Finale boot LP) and Still Life in comparison sounded exactly like you describe it. I think the life was taken out at mixing stage.

Aside from some dismal performances on STILL LIFE, the sound of the album is kicking and full. But that's my ears. It's always sounded fantastic to me.

But there's nothing memorable on side 1, 2, and 4 of LYL. Not one standout track to be remembered. It's just..........there.

This Japanese website is offering what seems to be a single taken from this release.

They do a lot of nice things right now. Keef just had a great Winos gig, an upcoming tour is teased and will be announced soon, and yeah, El Mocambo.... Looks like the 60th Anniversary party has just started...
