I now have high expectations when this arrives for me on Friday .Quote

This is a truly, truly absolutely truly fantastic release! Spoilers now...
The sound is utterly fantastic, much drier than the previously four released tracks. The playing is FANTASTIC, nobody ever played better than this, Preston and Ollie Brown turn it into a party, and Jagger has never sung any better than on this release (in fact so good on Cracking Up that it could have been done in a studio back in the day...). They left a few of the overdubs as well, like Wood's second guitar in Cracking Up, a harmonica in Mannish Boy, and the first solo of Worried Life Blues.
I think this might be the best live release from the Stones. It even blows Ya Ya's out of the water....

yup , great track that would rock good and hard in the modern day setlist. Heck get the crown in a boogie woogie fever for sure .Quote

I have to agree. Bar Brussels 73, and maybe even including that, this is the best live set they'll ever release. Hard to pick a top three - a top 24 is an easier task ...
Ok ok Brussels is mythical...
Top 3 is hard to pick, but on number 1 is Dance Little Sister! Stones RnR doesn't get any better than this. Why they played this one only a few times is beyond me!

Ron Wood was the logical choice. Not a big musical ego, easy to work with and a showman, looking like a Rolling Stone. Very important.

Wait the four recently released tracks sound different on the 2CD release ? None of that silly massive reverb ?

One Minor question I have, is that I wonder if when it's released on Spotify, will sound like the singles? It will be great either way.

That's exactly why some pages ago I petitioned all the complainers here to wait for the final releases' arrival.

...I think we're getting near the back of the vault, unless they're holding onto Knebworth, or Paris '76. A better version of Paris '67, or anywhere in Europe. A previously unknown tape of their American tour '66. I'm so grateful.

Such treasures. The L.A. Forum 'Live in '75' we thought we'd never see and hear except in a muddy video bootleg. Brussells '73, confirming that they reached their live peak on that tour. Some Girls in Texas, '78, changing the perception of that short tour entirely by compressing them in basically a club date. 'Charlie Is My Darling', showing what the Stones '65 was all about. All kicked off in 1996 with 'The Rock and Roll Circus', showing us the '68 Stones, and the sad state of Brian Jones. Live and mimed performances from Ed Sullivan, Hyde Park '69.
And now El Mocambo. I think we're getting near the back of the vault, unless they're holding onto Knebworth, or Paris '76. A better version of Paris '67, or anywhere in Europe. A previously unknown tape of their American tour '66. I'm so grateful.

I would add one show from the always forgotten European Tour '70.

Is it really any different from the '69 American Tour? They weren't playing Sticky Fingers songs until '71, if I'm correct, although it appears that Dead Flowers was played regularly.
