Mine:
The version of No Expectations at Hyde Park is the best version they ever did, and actually surpasses the studio version. Going further, in my opinion, for all its sloppiness and bad tuned guitar, Hyde Park is one of the best shows they ever did You? |

Dirty Work is a better album than 80% of the fandom thinks it is
Also I agree on the choirs on YCAGWYW, the version they did with the Ukrainian children's choir in Vienna 2 years ago was certainly the most memorable one of this song I heard live...another take arising from this: they should drop YCAGWYW and play Depending on You or another HD song instead |

The Stones themselves were actually a bit embarrassed by the Hyde Park performance chalking up the lackluster result to the fact they hadn’t played together live for a few years. For whatever it’s worth, after listening to Hyde a few times over the years, I find myself agreeing with the Stones. They certainly resolved whatever issues they had as demonstrated by Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! (one of the definitive, great live albums of all TIME and the overall quality of the 1969 tour.) As the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. So there is no right or wrong answer about Hyde or for that matter Dirty Work, just opinions.

From a technical perspective yes, but there is a sad and hopeful energy to the performances. The out of tune guitar by Keith somehow adds a beauty; and Taylor's playing is wonderful as it always would be. |

Of the two main performances the Stones have notably been unhappy with - the Circus, and Hyde Park - which do you feel is the better? |

Mick's voice sounds better now than on some recordings from the 70s (and I'm talking about offifical releases, so it's not the overall sound quality but rather the fact he isn't high on coke now or whatever xD)
