They photographed groups of Stones fans before the show at Vienna Neustadt in August 1998 and chose one photo for the cover. The guy was a dentist from Austria. His name was traced, although I cant remember it right now. I dont think his girlfriend was ever identified (some people who chose to read too much into the cover thought she was a guy in drag but apparently this wasnt the case..)

This was the original photo which was used for some of the promotional material for the album (Courtesy IORR)

The idea of those "whacky" fans and no security now makes sense to me... Should have been members of RO, IORR, Shidoobee though

Little correction. The guy on the album cover is an optician from Vienna, not a dentist.

His name is Wolfgang Dusek.

a quick google search under his name shows someone of that name currently a PHD in Optometry and Vision Sciencework at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland..

...which by a bizarre coincidence is the same university I graduated from.

Are you fucking serious?

Unlike some, I have better things to do with my life than recall off the top of my head the profession of some unknown Austrian guy whose pic was on a Stones album cover 11 years ago. My sincere apologies for having to look it up for your personal amusement.

Tool.

I didnt 'know' it, to be fair. I looked it up. Most of these things can be found with a quick search if you know some of the basic info.

Read it again...i said "recall off the top of my head" (which clearly means I DONT know it)... youre the one getting your knickers in a twist because I didnt "know" it when I made my initial post. As if I care.

I looked it up because someone wanted to know who the guy was. Maybe you could have done that yourself and contributed something instead of just being a pedantic knob.

It sounds like disc 3 of a mediocre 4-disc set that one spent too much on and hates to give up. It's what's playing when they knife you in that dirty, filthy basement. Jamming With Edward was unavailable.

..and to think at the time we generally welcomed the lack of warhorses on it.

It's worth getting for the version of 'Out of Control' alone. Along with 'Saint of Me', the only 'new' songs the Stones have toured behind in the last 35 years to have consistently bowled an audience over.

Its not a classic, but its better IMO than the two live albums that have followed it.
