Would be great to hear She Smiled Sweetly in soundboard quality. I’m sure it came off amazing like Lady Jane London 2012. Also criminal that it probably won’t be released. These are songs I wish they would play this year. Fingers crossed.

Because they spend 5 weeks mixing and mastering the LYL album in one the world's most expensive studios with the best engineers of the time, whereas the El Mocambo release likely took one morning mixing and one afternoon mastering using standard ProTools plug ins on the now infamous 'Rolling Stones' and 'Mick Jagger' settings.

But yeah, some of his [Sam Wheat] mixes are horrible (like Copacabana or VL Uncut)

VL Uncut is appalling...
...sounds like it was recorded on a Dictaphone outside the stadium, transferred to cassette tape and then mastered from a fourth generation copy !

Ithink it has too much bass and middle, usually I turn donwn the bass a lot and some of the middle, turn up the volume and it sounds pretty good

There is no way they had access to the multitracks on VL Uncut. It sounds like they just drenched the VHS-recording in lots of filters. It sounds like a fog, where it's impossible to hear the individual instruments, especially the guitars.
Too bad. I liked their sound on that tour.

Looking forward to this immensely. Licks was the last gasp of something, I think.

I feel the same.
When I heard some 2006 shows something did not sound right.

Sadly so.
...and the pre bump on the noggin shows from the ABB tour were different to the post bump on the noggin shows when the tour resumed.
The detailed consequences and affects of Keith's mishap have never been any of our business...but the results were there to be heard.

Because official release date is March 8, 2024 ?
Damn! That was good.

I got it, this is the live album for diehard fans, with a set list we’d all die for.
I've always assumed it largely has to do with the different sets depending on the venue they were playing on the Licks tour. It felt like they'd opened things up a bit more and were trying to really do a different special thing than they had in the past. It felt more retrospective and, while they were already old then, they weren't AS old as they are now so I can understand though slightly disagree that this was the last time they "tried".Quote

I honestly don't get the fuzz about the 2002-2003 tour. Keith is more focused on his moves than on his playing and Ronnie seems drunk and unfocused as well.
Mick and Charlie deliver though - as always.
