• Has its moments, others dumb
  It is absurd to hear 60-year-old men performing "Some Girls" and "Little T&A." Their first round of kids almost are as old as they were when they wrote these songs. They know what they're doing, that's fo sho, but very little about this is truly intimate or remotely creative. I'd love to hear this lot pick up a bunch of R&B songs they'd barely played and have a go, but everything is geared to making the maximum buck so the spontaneity and creativity are histor-y. There is no comparison to "Ya Ya's,"... more info

• 3 1/2 stars. Some highlights, but nothing really special
  I don't know exactly why I expected this album to be something special. It's just a regular live album, after all, Martin Scorsese or not, and the Stones have released a LOT of live albums, some mediocre, some good, a few of them absolutely magnificent.
  This one is basically a minor item. It's the Stones, so it's good, but it's not truly great as far as Stones albums go.

• Stones rules!!!
  Honestly I didn't expect another live album from the stones. Thanks I was wrong!. The Stones really rocks on the small venues like Beacon Teathre. There are some jewels like:
  - She was Hot: first time they include it on a live album.
  - Some girls section (Faraway Eyes, Just My Imagination, Some Girls, Shatteres).
  - As Tears Go By. what a beauty!!!
  The low points to me are:
  - Little T&A. I love that song, but what a shame with this version
  - Sympathy For The Devil: I... more info

• Old and tired
  I really was looking forward to listening to this album, having spent most of my life a fan. I bought sticky fingers when it came out and pretty much everything else since. Boy was I disappointed with this one. I've seen them live, so I know the tempos are different live ... but crikey ... they rush through some of these songs as if they're late for something important. Mick's voice is poor ... really, I couldn't listen to the album all the way through and tried several times. Buy something else if you... more info
