The Stones
I'm going to download this album and then probably erase it since I'm getting fed up with all these live cds released from the Stones in recent years containing the same old song and dance.
Really? take a closer look once again at the track listing of live Stones albums of past 20 years, since Flashpoint. Then Stripped and No Security and finally Live Licks. So what is your conclusion?

Cannot imagine even a 'hard core fan' needs the war horses on the release again.
And I have my doubts if musically the Stones are up to an acceptable standard to play the few 'rare' songs which were played thorese two gigs .

In some other thread some people are playing with semantics that it is not 'just another live record' but a 'soundtrack' which is completely a different thing... Some are living in hope that Universal might release it in a nicer package, and maybe even promote it better, and thereby, we will have a more profile Stones product in our hands.
But as far as I am concerned we will get the same old shite - live versions of their biggest hits plus few obscurities - just in a different package. Just another musically worthless product to add to collections. Yes, I will by it - but not until summer or next year when the price is more decent. To this day, I haven't been able to give another listen to LIVE LICKS or whatever it was called, their latest live album. I have find it very hard to barely listen the band in their current condition without having a footage. I hope the actual film is a good one.
Aah... isn't that great that it is a free world, and one can express own opinion without the fare of being crusified, burned, being accused of whining or something?

I think Doxa is spot on - that's precisely the way i feel. Hardcore fans may try to find something to get excited about, yet the Stones live releases post 1989 have been by and large meaningless. None of the later versions of the older songs have any real musical resonance, unlike their 60s/70s output except the occasional novelty of hearing a little played song at odd times, but that only ammounts to a very short term thrill.It is also true there's so little to distinquish musically between their later tours.

I really hope that some day we are to be treated with live albums that are meaningful and make difference; that means looking back. Namely, the musically greatest rock and roll tour ever (1972/73) is still without official recognition. It is a great loss for all the rock and roll fans all over the world. And if we talk about the Stones making difference,and sounding very unique, some kind of release of their 1978 tour would also be a thrill. Of course, all this is yesterday's news, and not a matter of making big money, but I keep on dreaming that there will be the day when the Stones really take more consideration into their incredible artistic legacy than to their instant income and fast profits. There is a nice example of this kind of different philosophy, of still continuing career and touring but still giving a respect to a significant and legendary past. Namely, their contemporary, Columbia artist named B. Dylan.

I have my doubts about the Rollling Stones musical standard since their last
live tour in 1973, and in the studio after Black & Blue,when Ron Wood became a fultime member.
He could have replaced Keith Richards,but Mick Taylor?

Also: Live albums may be obsolete, but not for a band that has continously released them since the beginning of their career

And why should DVDs have anything to do with live CD becoming obsolete? VHS video tapes wasn't that much different from DVDs, and live CDs weren't obsolete in 1994.
