There is a surround sound version of Sympathy For The Devil on the 2003 SFTD CD single. The only 7.1 surround sound that I've heard of so far is on certain new Blu-Ray discs.There's also 6.1 (see "The Punisher" BD) but,it's not very common (6.1) and I've only seen it (6.1) in DTS-ES as opposed to DTS HD-Master.

That's very true.VGP-011 contains the original radio broadcast in the best possible quality. For the tracks remixed for the '80's re-broadcast,the best option may be Nasty Music 2006 edition.

It doesn't matter that the Stones went out of their way to put out a "raw, guitar-driven" album. The songs on ABB are largely forgettable, unimportant and lazily (re) written. It's bad enough they haven't pulled out a classic since Tatoo You

The common thread in the first seven Voodoo Lounge performances of Midnight Rambler is that none of those first seven cities had Steel Wheels shows.I wonder why all of a sudden they chose to play it again in Rotterdam.

That would make Winter the only Stones song that Richards has never played on (barring the possibility of a live rehearsal) as he has played on live versions of the other four. Memo From Turner has a few different versions and I think that he played on one or two of them.

The 1981 bootlegs - many of them - sound better than Still Life.There were great versions of Waiting On A Friend,Beast of Burden,Let It Bleed (not the one from Arizona),Down The Road Apiece,Neighbours etc. played that year.I'm not a big fan of the '81 style All Down The Line on the other hand.The Still Life Album is sourced from a handful of different concerts.

Two cover songs per show are enough for me but,perhaps they could play more covers over the course of a tour.For example,instead of playing "Night Time" at 98 % of the shows between August '05 and early September '06 ,maybe they should have thrown in something like "I Just Want To Make Love To You" (which has only been played eight times in the U.S. since the mid-196
