The review

The second release from OBR in 2026 presents some tracks from the Stones stop in Vancouver on the Hackney Diamonds tour, plus as bonus some social media stuff where Ronnie welcomes the watchers before painting his setlists. The concert tracks are good sounding with Keith’s three numbers on Side B, but the most interesting tracks are at the end: Down The Road Apiece comes from the soundcheck, it was streamed on the Stones official Instagram channel, filmed by Matt Clifford, unfortunately incomplete. Dreamy Skies instead comes from Jagger’s visit in India in November 2023, again streamed on Instagram, this time it is only Jagger himself, these tracks have been captured and preserved. The album is dedicated to all fans who have followed the band for 60 years, then to Brian Jones, Ian Stewart and Charlie Watts, not forgetting Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor. The Jagger photo on the back comes from the book One More Time. There 2 different front covers, for each vinyl release, on the red vinyl cover the artwork is a mixture of the Tour Poster with the hand from the Sweets Sounds Of Heaven & Mess It Up singles. On the black vinyl sleeve there are OBR letters and Vancouver Ship in Hand picture as small sticker on front.
