Free Music Notes for Shine a Light - O.S.T. (Dlx) (Ocrd)
Free Music Review: Still The Greatest Rock n' Roll Band In The World
Hit: 5 Stars
Well, after an uncertain start to their Fall 2006 leg of the 'A Bigger Bang Tour', the band started to come together. Keith seemed to shake off the lingering effects of his 'coconut tree fall' earlier in the year. Woodie stayed sober and Mick and Charlie beat off colds. By the time they hit the Beacon for the Scorcese movie, they were ready to play at the top of their game. And that's what the listener gets here--the Rolling Stones playing damn near as well as ever. The song list, even if suggested by the movie, is fantastic and even the so-called 'warhorses' sound sweet with the superb sound and mix. The audio here is the best of all their (too?) many live albums. Of particular note--the guitars are cranked and gnarly in the mix. Mick's vocals are unusually well enunciated in spots and properly slurred in unexpected others and his ad libs are nice. Even Keith's vocals are spot on with his three (nice picks) tunes. Not a document of superb musicianship (although Watts is excellent throughout), but a high-energy, loose band of veteran rockers peaking past predictions!
Highlight--'Champagne And Reefer' with Buddy Guy joining in...smokin'!!
Free Music Review: One of their Best Live Albums
Hit: 5 Stars
The Rolling Stones have a lot of live albums. Most of them are great. The Stones are in a way a very different band onstage than in the studio. Their live sets tend to sound more like off-the-cuff jams than performances of recorded material. It's interesting to hear their sound change over the years: the rough GOT LIVE IF YOU WANT IT and GET YER YA YAS OUT, the goofy, free-spirited STILL LIFE, the slicker but still powerful FLASHPOINT, NO SECURITY and LIVE LICKS, the raw STRIPPED. A new live album almost seems pointless, evan as a companion piece to Martin Scorsese's brilliant concert film/documentary of the band's performance at New York's Beacon Theatre. But SHINE A LIGHT is the roughest, rawest and most spontaneous-sounding live album the Stones have released in years. Hearing so many rarely performed gems from SOME GIRLS and UNDERCOVER is a real treat. And their soulful rendition of the almost unreleased "As Tears Go By" is a pleasant surprise. Highly recommended for Stones fans, but any rock fan worth their salt should check it out, if only to see the Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the world putting bands a third of their age to shame.Free Music Review: One word: "KEEF"
Hit: 5 Stars
I agree with many of the reviews here...the presence of so many tracks that have never appeared on a Stones live album is the main attraction.
But the unquestionable sweet spot is Keith Richards on "You Got The Silver." Pure, utter MAGIC. Classic track that's stood the test of time and may even be stronger in 2008.
Not to mention Buddy Guy sitting in on Muddy Waters' "Champagne and Reefer." Any chance to hear Buddy is a cause for celebration.
It's a much stronger live album than Live Licks (topless cover)...and that's not saying a lot, because that album is one of the weakest of all Stones live albums...but Scorsese has charmed a "Stones Lovers" concert from the band. Yes, many of the expected tracks are here, although I would have loved another chance to hear Lisa Fischer wail on "Gimme Shelter"...but that's a minor detail.
Mick may walk through some of his performances and side-step the high notes of yore, but the Stones are still the Stones, and it's only rock & roll, and I STILL like it.
Free Music Review: The Kind of Show Stones Fans Dream About
Hit: 5 Stars
What other band on the planet could do what the Stones do with Muddy Waters' Champagne & Reefer? This is one of the hottest blues rocks this band has covered in a long time.
Plus the best Stones albums (Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile, Some Girls, & Tattoo You) are well represented. This is the kind of set you want to hear.
Must listens/Favorites: Lovin' Cup, Champagne & Reefer, Faraway Eyes, Just My Imagination, Tumbling Dice, Live With Me (ok Aguilera overdoes it but I think we would be disappointed if she didn't). And Keith's You Got the Silver, Connection and Little T & A.
The critics have been pronouncing this band dead since the early 70's; but these same critics have, on occasion, been silenced by a stunning performance on an inspired night. This is one of those nights and one of those performances.
Mick's southern twang on Faraway Eyes and Keith's soulful strumming on Just My Imagination are enough to make even a music critic smile.
Free Music Review: my appetite was satisfied!
Hit: 5 Stars
Well all I can say is that the boy's have done it again. I went to see the movie with much anticipation. I went alone due to broken promises from the guy's. So There I was (sad to say) the only one in the theatre in a suburb of New York City. And the show was unbelievable on the screen. But to now have the soundtrack deluxe cd has completed the scene for me. This cd is an awesome display of the old aged rockers at their best. I used to say the cd STRIPPED was the best live performance , but I can say now that this cd SHINE A LIGHT has surpassed my thoughts and puts a great smile on my face. I must say I was never anticipating a disappointment. At times some shows I have seen I wanted a little more from Ronnie or KEITH. But the both showed me they care and brought it home in this production of shine a light. Ronnie was awesome and he Litterally blew me away on YOU GOT THE SILVER. Mick was the showman he is and never disappoints. And Keith was a pleasure. Charlie blows me away everytime. and buy the disc it rocks.
