Nope .See Brussels1973 or LA 1975 among others, but it’s a great show, top ten .Quote

It's amazing listening to this that Love You Live wasn't just this show. Might be the best Live Stones release ever

I absolutely love how they’re playing. It’s killer! But what in the name of all things holy was Bob Clearmountain thinking with that mix? It sounds like it’s in a stadium. The club intimacy is nowhere to be found. What’s even worse is that in between songs you can hear it’s in a club. When the music plays it’s very different. It’s really a strange decision. I would have expected it to sound more like the LYL El Macombo side.
I agree 100%! If it's in a club it should sound like it's in a club. Don't they think it's exciting enough with the sound of the 3rd side of LYL?

Too bad Keith didn't bother to step in here, would certainly have been more useful than what he's been doing stalling the "new album" for a Decade + !

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.
El Mocambo, my babe...

well i think i would says it's chuck berry and the rolling stones
but i agree at there best nothing comes 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.

Brother Doxa, you said it. This is, by far, their best release in decades and man oh man do they deliever. Stones 1977 is so incredibly good I can’t believe my ears. I knew it was gonna be great, this is one of the - if not the - holy grail, but this is more than expected.
The Rolling Stones defined rock n roll. Brian-era, Taylor-era and yes the -75-81 Ronnie-era. With and without all the key collaborators, influences, co-players etc they truly were number one. They made rock music roll.

Nice to see the complainers already taking over this thread on the basis of some overly compressed low-bitrate YouTube sound files...
If it's not the setlist or general performance, it's now the sound, and of course, Mick must be responsible for this. What about Keith, isn't he a Stones member with at least some say in the final product anymore?

retired_dog, any chance you might be wrong? I get your point but there's some valid points here. By the way the first 2 songs I bought in HD quality from Qobuz and it's basically the same sound as the MP3's, over compressed and probably a 9 on Dynamic Range. That's less than acceptable to an audiophile. Absolutely the side on LYL is superior. Believe me when I say I'm real sorry about this because I want to be excited, after all it is the Holy Grail for us. Just like the Stripped set I'm afraid this will get one full play and nothing more. That's really upsetting.

Worried Life is not a Stones song. Performed by NB and confirmed song by Keith in ‘79. What a pleasure if he sings at El Mocambo

It's like you can have it but not completely. The band is cooking and as long as I can put it out of my head they're not in a club it's enjoyable. Then I'm reminded it is a club between songs. This has already been said. Anyhow I'm buying it, and I hope to live long enough for the uncompressed edition. Also everything else released after Bridges To Babylon. On a positive note I can say the Dolby Atmos Goats Head Soup wows me to no end.

Jagger sang it at the El Mocambo. It looks like Keith didn't even sing Happy on those nights.

I believe Keith did Happy at the first show.
