The Stones-When The Earth Was Young
Still, it is interesting to listen once again to the guys when they were at the height of their musical powers (and as high, most of the time, as Georgia pines). Hey, in 2009 no one, including this reviewer, NEEDS to comment on the fact that The Rolling Stones, pound for pound, have over forty plus years earned their place as the number one band in the rock `n' roll pantheon. This album from the tail end of their most creative period , moreover, unlike let us say Bob Dylan who has produced more creative work for longer, is the "golden era" of the Stone Age. The album, however, is a little uneven in spots reflecting, I think, a certain exhaustion of material that they could call their totally their own unless the time when they owned a big chunk of rock 'n'roll in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This album reflects their previous three years or so of great work and some fine cover of Chuck Berry, an early Hall of Fame rocker, who influenced their style. Needless to say there are plenty of "greatest hits" here, theirs or someone else's. "Jumping Jack Flash", Street Fighting Man", Sympathy For The Devil" and Midnight Rambler". Well, yes those qualify. "Carol" and "Little Queenie". Ditto.

taken as a whole evry well done
Sounds almost as good on CD. Bought album in 1980 - still have and play it on my turntable. Jams by Keith and Mick are perfect. Agree with earlier review. . . . tell your kids this is what rock n roll is LIVE. Carol, Rambler and Devil are my favorites. This is coming from a DeadHead.


NOT an SACD
This and the others like it are NOT SACDs (Amazon states they are hybrid SACDs). Amazon needs to update their listing of their Stones discs. Not true. They are DSD remasters on CD. Big difference. I'm only keeping it because I didn't own the disc anyway. Buyer beware.

Two stars is for the deceptive description, not the music.


Great Live Release
The crowd raises to a fever pitch, the Stones play like their lives depend upon it, and the song selection is perfect. This disk captures the Rolling Stones at their absolute peak live in Madison Square Garden in 1969. Better than the earlier live release, "Got Live If You Want It", the Stones tear through "Jumping Jack Flash" then Mick Taylor and Keith kill on Chuck Berry's "Carol". Listen to the guitar interplay on the second verse closely and you will hear the live Stones at their best. "Stray Cat Blues" and "Love In Vain" are great blues versions, where Taylor shines. "Midnight Rambler" is an absolute masterpiece as well, from the opening vocal rave up by Mick, through his whining harmonica and the crunching guitar chords. The arrangement starts with a standard time, then slows to a powerful yet sparse middle, and then concludes with a powerful finale. "Sympathy For the Devil" starts with Keith's guitar, and is much looser than the studio release, but swings more than previous versions. One of the absolute gems is "Live With Me", off Let It Bleed, where Keith's riff tears through the speakers. The harmonies are tight, yet never smooth and quite urgent. "Little Queenie" is the second Chuck Berry tune, which also suits the Stones perfectly. The version of "Honky Tonk Woman" is unbelievable, as Keith thunders the opening riff a few times to build the mood before breaking into the tune. The disk concludes with "Street Fighting Man" which is performed uptempo from the original. In all this is, by far, the best of many live Rolling Stones releases, and one of the classic live albums of all time.


One of the greatest live albums ever, one of the Stones' best albums...
Despite the familiarity of the material (the album has mostly well known Stones songs), it's still dynamite and the Stones really bring passion, intensity, and brilliance to every performance here. This is one of the Stones's best live albums, and one of my favorite live albums of all time. I even prefer the live versions of Street Fightin' Man, Midnight Rambler, and Honky Tonk Women than their studio counterparts. I also love the version of Sympathy for the Devil with its killer guitar solo by Keith Richards. While the studio version is a masterpiece, the Stones wisely didn't try and duplicate that sound on stage (check out Godard's film Sympathy for the Devil/One Plus One to see how meticulous it was to put together that song), and here they make the live version as memorable as the studio one. The actual recording is pretty good, considering most live albums in the past didn't have the best recordings techniques. This is one of the best live albums ever, and no serious Stone ran (or rock fan) should be without it. .
