REVIEW: |
Another Liver Than You ll Ever Be release? I was a bit puzzled when I heard about this 2 cdr set as what else can come out of this that hasn't yet? Anyway here is this 2 discs release that presents yet another low generation recording from the
Oakland 69 two shows and they are both in excellent quality and it seems with no excessive compression or tricky equalizing presenting both concerts as complete as possible. Many believe these concerts to have been the Best Live Album of the Rolling Stones late 60s. Anyway the first show comes loud and clear including the intro by Bill Graham who said: 'they have been late because there were no cars waiting for them'; of course there is the usual drop at the end of "Jumping Jack Flash" due to the electricity power outage and so the acoustic numbers early presence during the show ("Prodigal Son" and "You Gotta Move") and has Jagger lamenting the 'radio like' quality of their sound (meaning AM quality of course. Also there is Jagger's in between songs comment about only one guitar working right before "Stray Cat Blues". It is funny to hear on these first live versions of "Sympathy For The Devil" to hear both Richards and Taylor take their chance to solo. On the first show there is also a dramatic version of "I'm Free" with a slow bluesy solo by
Taylor. Oakland 9 November 1969 1st show was released as Liver than They'll Ever Be from OBR , than Secret Garden by Oil Well and Bring It Back Aliver by Gold Standards, Out of Joint by Black & Blue and Pot Boiler 1969 by VGP; then Tarantura released a set that had also the 2nd show which it was a concert from which the first live vinyl bootleg lp came out, the famous 'Liver Than You'll Ever Be' that pushed Decca to release Get Yer Ya Ya's Out the following year. This concert
has been released with this title many times on vinyl and cd (including luxury package by Japanese Tarantura and dvd audio from Australian GM) together with different titles on dozens of different versions either on vinyl (Oakland Sixty Nine, Berkeley Concert,Stone from the Bay, In Concert etc.) or cd (Hangout, Have a Beer, Out of Joint, From SF to Paris,Revolution Sixty Nine etc. and lately SODD version called Oakland Arena Coliseum) and for sure marks the difference between the 60s Stones and any other live band. On the second Oakland concert the set list is identical to the 1st show but for the correct positioning of "Prodigal Son" and "You Gotta Move" and the addition of an apocaliptical version of "Gimme Shelter". The main problem with the second
Oakland show has always been the opening track and here come the surprise as "Jumping Jack Flash" is here in all its glory without any knob adjustment or loss of volume, pounding out great chords in excellent quality! The rest of the concert follows on the same trend with clean sharp guitar sound and we can just call this another upgrade coming from some collector that has managed to find this; it may be copied by some other boot label but for now the sound and packaging are superb and it really doesn t matter if these are not silver discs, as far as I am concerned..
Packaging is superb with the mini lp gatefold cover that has tasty 69 photos including a front cover shot actually from 1970 for the Get Yer Ya Ya's Out cover sessions and great inside and back cover photos, both discs are picture as well sporting copies of the TMOQ records with the full pig. Next upgrade shall ne a stereo version, but that is impossible, isn t it?

I imagine the 2nd show is using the same source as Tarantula used--the Sister Morphine/Turd On The Run release... Comment by Anonymous wrote on 2010-07-28 03:33:41
