The review

This release presents the Stones Stockholm 2022 show, in great shape and with a luxurious packaging. This concert setlist has a couple of different songs from the standard ones of this tour, Out Of Control and Angie that are played with confidence by the band, in an excellent performance. The audience shows to appreciate the band’s playing, the music output is well balanced and there is minimal audience interference which helps while listening to this release. The recording has a brutal stereo separation that helps to appreciate the band’s dynamics on sage. Packaging is one of the things that physical releases can use to win public favour and Crystal Cat knows how to, there are 2 different inserts here: a 24 pages colour booklet with songs listed with their timings and 2 concert reviews by Bjornulf Vik (IORR master chief) and Alwyn Welch. The other insert has 4 pages and inside there is a detailed chronology f the 31 shows the Stones have played in Sweden over the years starting with Goteborg in 1965 and the whole 2022 European Tour dates. At the end of Disc Two there are also 2 more tracks from Amsterdam and Berlin which have been rarely played on this tour.
