Free Music Notes for Shine a Light - O.S.T. (Dlx) (Ocrd)Free Music Review: Possibly, the best (official) Rolling Stones Live Album Hit: 5 Stars
Over the past 40 years, the Stones have released many live recordings. Unfortunately, they hardly ever were able to capture the excitement of a Rolling Stones show. That's where bootlegs came in. "Get Yer Ya Ya's out" was a pretty good collection of a 1969 Stones concert, but the bootleg "Live'r Than you'll ever be" truly captured the rough performance of the Stones at the time.
Following their masterpiece "Exile on Main Street", the Stones embarked on a fantastic US-Tour. Their sound was dark and (in parts) sloppy, but no official document was released. The excellent "Philadelphia Special" bootleg is a good substitute for anybody, who didn't get to see the Stones back then. Their next official Live release was 'Love you Live', a patch work of their 1976 Tour. The only interesting material on this double album, came from their Paris show (side 3 of the record).
Again, bootlegs like 'Hot August Night' captured the now slower, funkyer Stones sound much better.
In 1978 the Stones released 'Some Girls', which was followed by a fantastic tour, which featured a shorter live set,. Again, no official live album was released, but the excellent 'King Biscuit Flower Hour' captures the dirty sound of a 1978 Stones show in all its glory.
The next official live release was 'Still Life' of their '81 American tour. Again, being a single album, it only captures a small part of the Stones supporting their excellent "Tattoo You" album. Generally, they played most of their songs twice as fast on this tour, and the bootleg 'Hampton 1981' captures a complete show in brilliant sound quality.
After releasing one more decent album ('Undercover'), the Stones' studio work kind of went down hill. There were a couple of additional live recordings in the 90's and in the new millennium ('No Security' which showcases a very polished live sound, but again, a very standard set list - or 'Live Licks', which features edited versions of live recordings), but by now, the Stones released complete concerts on DVDs, so there is no need to buy any of these abbreviated concert documents.
The best live recording from their 90's period is, again, a bootleg called 'Atlantic City 1991'. 3 CDs full of clean, powerful stones material. The outstanding track here is `Salt of the Earth', featuring Axl Rose.
Which finally gets me to this new live double CD : "Shine a Light". Finally, the Rolling Stones ditched their standards in the set list (how many live versions of 'Honky Tonk Woman' do I really need) and they also realized, that none of their studio work after 'Undercover' can compare to the quality of their late 60's, throughout the 70's and early 80's material. They heavily showcase the "Some Girls" album here (now with a politically correct version of the title track) and of course, there are several gems from "Exile on Main St." as well.
They slow down most of their songs a bit, but the sound is dirty, just the way we love it. Keith is in excellent form (both, guitar and singing) and Mick is still one of the most charismatic lead singers and his vocals are still brilliant and cocky at the same time.
Definitely buy the double CD. To summarize you will get :
An excellent set list, brilliant live sound, and an overall outstanding performance. Thank you Mick, Ronnie, Charlie and Keith, for giving us finally a Rolling Stones worthy, official live release.
