REVIEW: |
Taken from
the BBC 60 years celebration for the Stones career this release presents the
Wiltern Theatre 2002 concert; 4 tracks from this concert were officially
released by the Stones themselves on Four Flicks in 2003. Here we get Can’t You
Hear Me Knocking and You Don’t Have To Mean It from Live Licks, Can’t You Hear
Me Knocking features Jim Keltner on percussions. It shall also be mentioned
that Everybody Needs Somebody To Love that was included in Live Licks see
Solomon Burke duetting with Jagger with the famous scene where he donated Jagger
a huge cloak naming him the true King of Rock’n’ Roll. This was a peculiar show
with seldom played songs like Stray Cat Blues, Hand Of Fate, No Expectations,
Dance, That’s How Strong My Love Is, Going To A Go Go, Rock Me Baby, You Don’t
Have To Mean It and Tumbling Dice played for the only time as encore, too bad
the whole show has not been broadcasted, the Stones themselves having decided
to release the full Madison Square Garden concert from January 18th
2003 instead. This is a wonderful release, the audio quality being superb, the
setlist helps of course to mark this as one of the best late Stones shows also
thanks to the sidemen on stage: Bobby Keys, the New West Horns, Blondie Chaplin
and Lisa Fischer. There are some drawbacks, however, for instance Ron Wood solo
on pedal steel guitar for No Expectations is overshadowed by Keith Richards
electric guitar accompaniment that should have been lower. Very enjoyable is You
Don’t Have To Mean It with Ron Wood on organ and a fantastic brass section that
shines also on Rock Me Bay and Bitch. Particular is also Tumbling Dice long
version that closes the show with its extended refrain at the end. Packaging is
excellent with the two albums pressed on heavy pink colored vinyl.
