You know, it is incredible how amazing this band is at its best.. They define rock music in their own terms. Lennon once said that if rock and roll should be renamed it would be called Chuck Berry. Wrong. It is The Rolling Stones. Nothing else even close.

Chuck Berry created the platform, the original idea. The Stones showed whatever could be done with that, without losing the touch to the origin. The Stones fulfilled the whole idea of rock and roll, by their music, by their image, by everything. The Beatlelogists, or poor old Macca, can only show excuses and tell us funny stories of 'progression' and all that 60's bla bla bla, but in the end, the Stones only bodify eternal rock and roll, like Lennon admitted. Be it good or bad. No one wants to be, if thinking about career in rock music, be any boring Paul McCartney, everyone wants to be Mick Jagger or Keith Richards. Those dudes created the whole idea what 'rock star' is all about.

As you say though, Mick has become their biggest strength. He truly evolved to the best frontman in the world, I haven't seen any other guy being able to work a stadium crowd like him. And he can still do it for the most part. To me listening to this old drunk (and whatever drug he was on) Mick always underlines how good he became.Quote

Listening to this underlines how tame, weak, and far removed their live performances have become in these latter years - happens to some of the best I suppose.
They've now become shadows for the most part...no Bill, no Charlie. And then there's a feeble Keith, with Chuck filling the void, and the backup singers dominating.
Mick is clearly their biggest strength these days, whereas in the olden days they were a well rounded team, and all were pieces of a puzzle. Even Ronnie was significant piece back then.
Looking forward to this release, and re-experiencing the way they were...back when they were truly a great rock and roll band...somehow much of that greatness disappeared around Steel Wheels...

Fantastic new tracks, but I find the mix just horrible. It really captures nothing from small club atmosphere, it sounds just as terrible as the Earls Court 1976 soundboards. Charlie is fantastic though, as is Wood, but Jagger sounds totally coked up....

Apple Music.
Tumbling Dice and Hot Stuff written by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, not Jagger/Richards.

Two superb performances. 'Hot Stuff' - a song I always thought had potential to be special - is amazing. Can't wait for the full album release now.

Ronnie's guitar sound is a bit tweaked (especially on Hot Stuff). I wish they didn't feel the need to "fix" these releases and add a bunch of delay. Not everything has to sound like it was recorded yesterday.

He had that delay on that tour.

The problem with the sound on these releases is that the final say is made by a 78 year old who's been on stage for 60 years. How's his hearing ? I'm 56 and all my upper frequencies are accompanied by the permanent hiss of tinnitus .
