I was thinking about this the other day. Let it Bleed is my choice.

I was also wondering if this is the album with the highest percentage of tunes played live.
Nine songs, seven played live (that I know of).
I'm not sure if Let it Bleed (the song) was played live, and I'm counting Country Honk as it's own tune rather than another version.

Anyone know if LIB or CH was ever played live?

So that makes 88.9% of tunes played live, or 100% depending on how you look at it.

To be fair, CH was about a 30 second snippet at the end of HTW, Jagger bantering with Woody.
Not a full take: Country Honk > Tumbling Dice, 8.21.76

All of Some Girls has been played live.

This is an interesting poll, but very Calvinist. Predestination factors into play here, as there is no way exile will not win. it is the source of most things good in the universe.

One word Exileonmainstreet!!

Though I would add that LIB,BB,and SF are the next greatest albums ever produced by anyone at anytime.

That, of course is just MHO.
