Unfortunately, the album absolutely tanked commercially - it was probably the worst selling and lowest charting album whose release they'd ever sanctioned. Even more unforgiveable when you consider that two weeks after it's release they announced the extension of their 1997-98 with a US leg named after the album which saw them ask (successfully) their fans to dig deeper and fork out unprecedently sky high prices to see them.

.

i saw one of the two shows they did for no security in hartford conn. we drove to the venue with no tickets in hand, but i must say i think i lucked out. i bought 2 tickets from a scalper and i paid 275 for them. at the time this was the most i ever paid to see the stones. the seats were really good ones tho...they were 1st row in the seating section just off to the side from the b stage...say around 7 oclockish. money well spent. it was the first time i heard micks voice actuallcrack and it was during honky tonk woman.

i think the highest i have paid is 2 hundred for 1 ticket.

Are you fucking serious?

I liked it a lot when it came out, not so much because it stands alone as a great live album, it was just great to have an awesome versions of a lot of songs like Sister Morphine.

I also like the chick on the cover. Does she post here?

She did but I banned her.

I am hoping for a re-issue with bonus pictures.

as you probably know, the two shows at the end of the NS leg in San Jose were filmed for release, but the project was eventually shelved. Not sure why, but I think it was along the lines of the Stones/Jagger being dissatisfied with the performance.

Pity. It was a good tour (despite Ronnie being largely AWOL throughout - although I'm sure thats nothing that a few overdubs couuldnt have fixed) and as you say, that intro was something special. It was also probably the last tour where Keith was consistently great.

I was never really all that bummed that San Jose was never released, the shows weren't that good compared to the earlier ones in the tour.

Yeah the Oakland show was far superior to both SJ shows.

Great show indeed. Would have been nicer if Ronnie had plugged in, though. Maybe it's just the version I have (called On The Moonlight Mile), but he's like, nowhere.

Ronnie said in an interview during the Licks tour that there have been tours that he simply doesnt remember doing. I would hazard a guess that No Security would be pretty near the top of that list. Musically, the only downside on an very good series of shows.
