Often the live versions are the better ones, but if I compare "Let Me Go" on "Emotional Rescue" to the live versions of the 81/82 tour I prefer the studio take. The same goes for "Star, Star" until the Licks tour. The version which they taped on "Four Flicks" is simply great and better than the studio take.

Found this review this morning in Dutch. As far as I understand, it is very negative ... Teleurstellend Ik (Stones fan sinds 1980!) had gedacht dat dit filmopnames zouden zijn van hun 1969 concert dat ook op de gelijknamige CD staat. Was ik effe blij toen ik de DVD kreeg! Maar wat blijkt? Dit is een saaie documentaire van 1 uur lang. Een paar oudere mannen (waarvan ik er geen 1 ken) verte

There was a dramatic, sad event in my life last year that I couldn't stand I thought. One riff on the "Beast of Burden" version on "Bite the Big Apple" was the only way back to life ... the riff is so incredible and simple, so ingenious that only the Stones can do this, and Ronnies solo is also fantastic. The riff appears two times, it's Keith, I think, first at the

Yes, we don't say that Ron Wood is a bad guitarist, we say that he is playing plainly nothing but nonsense in many songs during this tour (and on the second leg of the Licks Tour at least). I think, if he isn't able to add something new to the songs spontaneously in the moment, he should rehearse his solo acts and play them in a similar manner during the following tour gigs.

Thank you very much for this song. But it shows once more, that Ron Wood is out of the band in the moment. Please, hear the solo, wrong notes in the beginning and then a boring series of notes which has nothing to do with music. I don't understand how the lacking of the any solo guitar can be hidden during the next months.
Forum: Tell Me

Sure, great Stones stuff, but definitely not the best one, I think, e.g. "Gimme Shelter": Atlantic City or Toronto '89 or Tokyo '90 and generally the versions during Urban Jungle are the better ones. "Angie", please hear Paris '76, fantastic soli from Ron wood and Billy Preston etc.

I think that the sound on "Stripped" is the best. Good sound level, and you can hear every instrument loud and clear. Four Flicks: First I was disappointed, but then I saw that you have to choose the stereo option, if you have no surround equipment. So I did and I had a very good sound. Live Licks: The problem is that many songs were mutilated by shortening (particularly "Rocks Off

Ron Wood is a great blues player, that is true. He is a great guitar player, too. In the last weeks often I heard the Paris '76 boot. Great soli, great rhythm work. He dominated the concert all over. So he was more complete a guitar player than Mick Taylor. But his guitar work on this tour is terrible. Sometimes it seems to me that he is a bloody beginner. Wrong notes, a solo isn't a so

On this moment I hear the audience recording of Philadelphia, the same thing, the solo of Ronnie on "Start Me Up" is pure nonsense like "how can I hold my guitar without falling off the stage". I'm sorry but this is no music. It sounds as if he had never played guitar. On "You Got Me Rocking" he missed the right thrown to the end of the song, the solo on "S

Right, a mystery, just heard "Sympathy for the Devil" from Columbus, there is a quite good work of Ronnie in assisting Keith's solo, but then: please hear his "solo" on "Start Me Up", that's no music, but simply nonsense which anyone can play, if he/she has about 10 Guitar lessons ...

I saw many shows of the "Urban Jungle" Tour, and I'm sorry to say that "Flashpoint" doesn't represent, what was going on on stage. "Atlantic City 89", "7th of July" e.g. are complete concerts and sound even better sometimes. I never understood why the solo on "Sympathy" was shortened, maybe it is an overdub, "Little Red Rooster"
