| Light at the end of the tunnel? |
Much hype has surrounded this release, as being something special. Maybe Martin Scorscese can conjure up some magic and capture the energy of the show in his forthcoming docco of the Stones in concert, but there is no real spark in the CD version. There are some highlights and these involve the songs with Buddy Guy and Jack White as well as some songs not on the Stones concert playlists over the years. At other times, they appear to be overplaying and rushing, when a more laid back approach would have created a better 'groove' to the album. It's always a trap with live recordings in that being there is not always captured on disc. All in all, it is not a bad CD, and is typically 'Stonesy' but maybe they should have waited until later with a combined CD & DVD release. Have been a Stones fan for years but I suspect that this is the end of the road as it just seems like they are going through the motions now. Maybe there is a hint here of something else to come; songs with Buddy Guy, Jack White and Scorscese's previous Blues music doccos may just convince the Stones to do what many of us feel they have always done best, and return to the Blues. |

| What a Treat! |
My husband and I went to see the movie as soon as it came to our area. The CD enables us to relive that experience time after time. The sound quality is excellant and with 2 CDs you get the full experience of all the songs. |

| well, the cover's all right I suppose |
Absolutely terrible, how these wrinkly old white boys have persuaded you all to cough up your hard earned for so long is one of life's great mysteries. Do yourself a big favour and don't follow the herd. Give it a miss. |

| Disappointing |
Double disk set has maybe 2 decent songs. Stones are getting "long in the tooth" and the vocals show it. Too bad, but at least I still have their original recordings of the songs. |
