It's a bit disappointing, I've just compared JJF on this release to Jumping Jack Flash from a novice at the actual show and Keith's guitar doesn't hit you nearly as hard on the new release.
Sure it's still brilliant but it doesn't capture that sound you get from Keith's guitar when he's on fire, it's powerful and it vibrates and booms straight into you.
Keith definitely mixed low on this release.
Here is the comparison from a spectator filming the show.
JJF 1.29.45 [youtu.be]
No, he isn't. Ronnie is mixed low
Keith is loud throughout. Are you listening to the vinyl, Riffie?
Listen to the two versions from my edited post, clearly Keith's power from the live show isn't captured on the release regardless of how good it sounds on vinyl. I've noticed this from just about every live release from the Stones, Keith's power seems to get diminished on the releases, that's why i have to see these guys live.
What is actually pushed right up in the Mix is Micks vocals.

The album did not enter the UK Top 100, it was #41 in the midweek ranking but once all the pre-sales were computed, it did not sell more and collapsed at the end of the week. It sold less than 1900 units, which is what the 100th album on the chart sold.
Previous release Live At The Wiltern ranked at #95 in March with 1,700 units.
Although Hackney Diamonds might have gained a few younger fans it probably sent a lot of older long term diehards packing.
The Stones trying to sound relevant to younger buyers was about as successful and meaningful as Mick's solo albums.
Hopefully they bring back Don Was or Chris Kimsey.

At this stage Steve Jordan could probably do a good job, he knows Keith more than anyone.

As far as I’m aware, publicity was minimal in the U.K. I knew about it through this forum, being on the Stones’ emailing list and YouTube because I’m a hardcore fan.
Anyway, it wasn’t exactly the finest show they’ve ever put on.

The 4k- Edition is not much better than the Blu-ray Edition. I've bought both, the 4-K Edition has not any major quality advantages in my opinion.
You can't compare it with current 4k productions.
..., but I like it! Yes I do!

You would not think that if you were one of the lucky few that were at the actual show.

You'll be glad you bought a Blue Ray player when you've got it.
Get a decent one . [It'll make your DVD's look and sound better too]

That's weird. BRIDGES was an attempt at being modern, in places, which some might think of as "trying to sound relevant", but I don't hear anything on HD that has anything like that going on, it sounds like The Rolling Stones. Everyone I've personally talked to loves it.

Wow! So, comparatively, this released faired ‘better’ on the U.K. chart than Billboard.

I would like to know what kind of stream Amazon offers in the USA and the UK. Is that the Blu Ray, 4K or is it a standard DVD quality?
