When you look at the last 20 years of
the career of The Rolling Stones, it's pretty amazing the wealth of live
material they have not only on CD, but on DVD and in the cinema as well.
Had their live shows been a rehash of the same show year after year, it
would get boring pretty quick. These guys, however, always changed
things up significantly enough to make watching a live show a unique
event. There was always something new to see, some grand stage set up,
different well known musicians supporting them on stage, and it was a
fortunate thing that they have a snapshot of so many of these
performances.
For their A Bigger Bang tour, they seem to
want to top everything by having acclaimed movie director Martin
Scorsese film them at the prestigious Beacon Theatre in New York City.
To be honest, I never saw the film. I'm sure it was as spectacular as
everyone who saw the movie said it was. What I do know is that
they, again, release a stellar live album. The songs here are mixed up
enough to where you never feel "ho-hum" with several tracks here never
being released before. That's really all you need to know. All you
have to do is read the track list and know that they sound as great as
ever.
Actually, there is one more thing that you do need to know, and
that is there a special double cd version of this performance that
contains the whole show. In addition to the tracks above, it also
includes the songs Tumbling Dice,(I Can't Get No)
Satisfaction,Paint it Black, Little T&A,I'm
Free, and of course Shine a Light. I'd recommend spending a
few extra bucks for the complete show.
