Yes, Ronnie played truly great, I wonder why he lost so much of that a few years later. In 1981/82 his playing was far more chaotic compared to his early years with the Stones. Maybe he just didn't care that much anymore since it was clear he was bound to stay with the guys, so he just enjoyed the rush and the party.Quote

Keith played great, despite or maybe cause of the drugs. And anyone who doesn’t think Ronnie was a great guitarist in the 1970s should listen to these shows

Although I'm a big fan of Darryl this release (at least the 4 songs til now) made me appreciate Bill's work much more. What really sets apart Bill is how he plays with the length of he notes - and even more important - with the breaks inbetween the notes. He always lets just enough space so that it can breathe and swing.Quote

The Stones have never sounded as great without Bill. You can hear what he brought to the band on this El Mocambo release

I must say the sound grows on me the more I listen to it. Still to modern and with too much delay and reverb, but overall its better than I thought from the first listens.
What a cooking band man on this release, frigging fantastic. This might be Wood's best ever show.

Wow Wood was killing it on Hot Stuff! Funky as hell, remincesent of his Faces era playing.
A shame he would soon be relegated to a second fiddle to Richards.

Pre-sale price on Amazon (US) appears to be 29.99 for the 2CD. Seems high based on past similar 2CD releases that've been around 17.99-18.99. I'm still going to buy this one (and really it's worth every penny) just notable that it's so high.

I looked at eBay (US) as well and it was even worse. But maybe it'll drop before release day. Either way, very excited for this one!
