Listening now--sweet!

This is a great way to start the week!

Jagger's singing on this is excellent.  What a treat!  I just finished it and will keep it on repeat all day!

I hope this could be edited on vinyl and br soon.

Blu-ray is a cert as the show was put together especially for filming purposes.

I think we can safely assume a multi-format audio/video package sometime in the next few months as they did with 'Sweet Summer Sun' - a release which also first surfaced (albeit with about a week's notice) as an i-tunes download.

The fact that its just 10 songs and under 50 minutes should increase the chances of a vinyl version, I would imagine.

Well, I don't wanna complain, it sounds great, but I sure do miss a very long sax solo in "I've got the blues"

Still not a fucking peep about this on the band's official site, twitter or facebook accounts.

Too busy flooding social media with these meaningless teases about this 'stonesism' nonsense.

WTF is wrong with these people? The band pull a clever marketing move, put out a download release with no fanfare which (going by the general consensus) happens to be extremely good (IMHO it's actually pretty stellar)  and which helps promote the current tour and SF reissue - and they choose not to bother mentioning it?

Give me the noble complete Fonda in lossless, please.  You know - as tour support merchandise.  Because you don't have an album out.

Yeah I'd like to hear the whole show. But I downloaded the SF live stuff. Listened to most of it on a walk this morning. Without picking at nits, thought it sounded real good..................So G. What's the whole Stonesism shit about? More marketing crap?

Hi,
Here is my first post with my new account.

I've posted it yesterday at the 'other' big forum, but I want to share my thoughts with you, as they are more arguing if 10$ is too much or not...
Just finished listening for the first time. Wow, what a great show! They almost nailed it a 100%. Now I know why bv rates this show among the best he has seen. They filled the rare played numbers with fresh new life, not just reproducing them. Seems that the shows with can't turn you loose as encore are gonna be really special ones...

A few more thoughts:

- absolute highlights --> sisters morphine & you gotta move

- also great --> dead flowers, wild horses,can't you hear me knocking, I got the blues, moonlight mile

- great licks and solo from Ronnie on dead flowers, great singing from mick, same with wild horses

- at can't you hear me knocking is miss a little Keith power chords in the verses, he's more licking

- mick is a little bit struggling to hit the high notes on I got the blues, at least his voice doesn't sound relaxed in that part, it sounds a bit strained

- on the opposite mick sings moonlight mile better then in 1999

- bitch is boring. I would like to hear it more guitar driven like in the early 70'

- brown sugar: really good version, but I can't hear it anymore. Just seen it live too often

- sway, better then on the bigger bang tour, especially micks voice, but it has not the same level as sm or igtb

- micks singing performance is all in all outstanding

- did I hear some small glitches from Charlie?

- sax is great, but I miss bobby keys

- it's a shame that only a very small audience has ever the chance to hear these great rare songs live!

Overall a striking performance, even more astonishing when you remember at what level their 2007 shows were. I couldn't imagine, that after 2007 they could ever reach such a high level again. Such a show proofs, that they can do great shows for easily more than ten years from now on.

Long live the stones

Nice first post - welcome.

I'm amazed how people who can think nothing of paying $300 - $500 for a concert ticket (or even more) in a stadium can baulk at paying $10 for a release.  Have people got so obsessed with 'seeing' the Stones as if they're merely some kind of museum piece completely forgotten that they make music as well?  And this one is very good.

We dont have to buy it a second time if there's a physical release later on, but even if people do fork out for it again - for goodness sake, this is barely the price of a small pizza or a couple of beers.

I'm pretty sure they've reworked some of the songs a little bit (after all, theyve had plenty of downtime between shows), but no matter, its still a fine release.

Highlights for me are Dead Flowers and Sister Morphine.
Sway maybe could have been pulled off a bit better, but thats a very minor gripe. Even the songs they play a lot like Brown Sugar are really good

I liked the way they re-start 'You Gotta Move' and 'I Got The Blues'.

When they finally debuted 'Moonlight Mile' on the No Security tour in 1999 it was a welcome surprise although in fairness it didnt quite come off.  It's MUCH better in 2015. It'll never top the original (which is one of my top 4 or 5 Stones records ever) but this is a very worthy performance that I wouldnt have imagined possible at this stage of their career.

I think the term you're looking for is "mallets." Charlie was definitely using mallets from the videos I've seen.
