Alt mixes of Lowdown and Juiced, if I remember correctly. Plus an alt of OOC called the "Papa was a rolling stone" mix because of the similarity of the bass lines.

This is probably from the two "B2B Remixes" CDs that came out just after B2B and in fact created the confusion that allowed the Dutch thief Hans Mulders to rip off a bunch of people including myself...to the tune of $450 if memory serves...

These remixes probably don't have anything to do with the Stones, just some (clever) tinkerer.

The memorable Press Conf at the Brooklyn Bridge was very original accenting BRIDGES in the tour name, and the boys were way cool and looking confident!

And the stadium shows had the best stage props ever ~ over the top cool!

The Program was another work of art!

And the posters brought us back in time to the ages of BABYLON ~ very cool again!

I forget which night I got it, but it's cool as hell. That's the back I posted up there. I think they were $25, which I thought was outrageous at the time but no way I could resist. This is the front:

I didn't think B2B was that good. In fact two quality songs on the whole album, Anybody Seen My Baby and Saint of Me. The rest are mediocre at best. Some of them are down right horrible: Already Over Me and Might As Well Get Juiced and Always Suffering. I used to think Dirty Work was their worst album. Now that I just looked it over, it might be B@B. ABB is a way better album.

Are you serious ?! ABB is lifeless, B2B oozed with life and excellent playing. It probably helped that the Stones were still "relevant" at the time, i.e. before the shameless money making circus went on the road after the 98 Tax Incident and the 2002 "Best Of" tour. That was really the final nail in the coffin for their "relevancy". Besides AOM ranks among their finest productions, listen to the keys and the dobro !

I liked ABB at first, as any "crazy fan" would, but I now find it terribly boring, other than a few things here and there, "Rain Fall Down" I guess.

My biggest problem with it is the very average playing, especially compared to B2B, it's technically ok, but just very basic overall, Keith seems to have no guitar lines of interest left in him and Mick, the other guitar player now, never had any, just chords. When you have Mick playing bass lines you know you're in trouble!
