This double CD set features a Rolling Stones show from 1999. Rather than the mega-arena shows the band are known for, this was a concert in front of about 2,000 fans. And, while they did some hits, it included some deep cuts including one track that had never been played live before, and another that hadn’t been performed since the 1970s. While this isn’t the best live Stones album I’ve heard, it has some real charm, and enough oddities to make it very worthwhile for your collection. Besides, as far as I’m concerned, with the possible exception of the …Satanic Majesty’s… album, you can’t go wrong with a Rolling Stones album. It should be mentioned that there are a number of other configurations for this release, including video formats.

After an introduction the band jump right into a tune that I’ve always loved. This Stones classic rocks well in the studio, and they capture it well live, too. The vocals seem a little more out front than usual.

Another pure classic, they put in a smoking hot live performance of this number. If anything this seems exceptionally fiery. I love the stage banter after the tune.

This rock and rolling groove is a fun tune, and they don’t disappoint. Then again, the Stones always nail it as far as I’m concerned. The blues rock angle seems to be a bit more prominent in this version.

Here we get a cut that’s more of a deep cut. It’s a classy rock and roller that works really well in this live telling. The horns bring some soulful vibes to the track.

While some of the lyrics to this song haven’t aged well, I have always been a big fan of it. To be fair, Jagger changes the words in this performance, making it less questionable.  The guitar work on this is on fire. They do such a smoking hot version of this. It does earn a parental advisory.

This blues romp is another deep cut. In fact, this show was the first time the band performed this song since the 1970s. The piano and horn work bring something special to the tune. The guitar and vocals really rule, though.

Another classic, the horns and organ bring a lot of retro style to the tune. This is another blues romp, but it’s also trademark Rolling Stones.

Here we get another deep cut. This is a bluesy sort of groove. The lyrics are packed with double entendres. The horns bring some jazz angles to this.

They continue with the deep cuts here. This still has some blues in the mix, but it’s more of a mainstream Stones rocker overall. I don’t think this works as well as some of the rest of the stuff here, but it’s the Rolling Stones, so it’s still classy. And, this was the first time they ever played this one live.

While this one is another that qualifies as deep cut, it has a more treasured place in my heart than some of the others do. This has a soulful, rather gospel vibe. It’s definitely trademark Stones, though. I love how the audience continues singing the chorus after the band is done.  They only stop when the guitar part for the next tune starts.

Here we get a return to the Stones classics. The guitar sound on this so cool. Sheryl Crow brings her own brand of magic to the piece as she sings a verse by herself and remains as accompaniment beyond. The piano solo is so cool, too. All in all, this is a powerhouse live rendition of the track.

This is just what it’s advertised as. It does earn a parental advisory.

This more stripped back (at first) blues rocking tune features lead vocals from Keith Richards. It’s a solid romp with some great slide guitar work and other fretboard magic. It gets more of a full band treatment later and has a solid groove to it.

Richards continues with the lead vocals on this tune. The track is more of a mainstream Rolling Stones styled rocker.

Another deep cut, this is a scorching hot bluesy rocker. It’s a strong entry in the show.

More blues rocking sound is on the menu here. I really love some of the guitar work on this thing.

Here we get a Stones classic, and it’s a great live rendition, too. The odds are you know what this song is about, and the do a very faithful, but inspired rendition of the tune.

Another song with lyrics that haven’t aged well, this is a pure Stones classic. And, again, the lyrics were modified here to change that status. This is a smoking hot live rendition of the tune. The extended jam later in the track is a lot of fun.

They close the set with a live performance of another Rolling Stones classic. This is absolutely on fire.
