I am not a great fan of the Stones, however having seen them live several times in the 70's I thought a live disc might be the way to go. I added this cd to my Christmas wish list with the thought it will be easy for my kids to pick up for me. Well, it was, but what a mistake. I've stopped paying to see the Stones because $300 ticket prices (Chicago and Milwaukee) is just too much for any band, much less an over the hill group of seniors who are only in it for the money. This cd illustrates it fully. With one exception all the songs are 1981 or older which shows the band has lost its creativity. The vocals on some of the songs are so horrendous, particularly Richards, I played it for my kids as a warning about what happens when you abuse alcohol, cigarettes and drugs too long. I was hoping for a snapshot of what I remember to the world's greatest rock and roll band. Instead I got a reminder of why the state of rock and roll is so bad.
