I don't know which one is the best, they're all a little different, each recorded after various albums. I haven't heard one that hasn't rocked yet, and this one is no different. Flashpoint comes on the Steel Wheels tour. It's almost like a big band concert, with all kinds of instruments going with this one. The mixing on this CD is exceptional. You can hear every instrument nicely, and the vocals, whether lead or backup, are in full force. Highlights on this one are Paint It Black, which has a cool acoustic guitar playing the main rhythem, Sympathy For The Devil, Brown Sugar, Jumpin' Jack Flash, and Satisfaction-which are all played consecutively on tracks 11-15. They are out in full force on these 5 tracks. A little extra bonus is on track 10, Red Rooster, which has a guest appearance by Eric Clapton. So you get some cool blues fingerpicking as well. I also enjoyed Rock and a Hard Place which I believe is the only one off their new album (at the time). They also throw in a couple of new studio tunes in as well with Highwire and Sex Drive, which are pretty good also. It's hard to find anything wrong with this set. They always seem to pull it together when they're out on the road and put together exceptional shows. | |

I saw the Stones only once, in the early seventies and I can't say this album reminded me much of that concert: too much water had gone under the bridge by the time "Flashpoint" was produced. Yet this album just hits all the right spots for me, bringing me back to the sixties (if only briefly) and then re-exploring the next few decades one by one with music that I had never heard in a live context before. My test of a live album is simply listenability: if I can put it back on the turntable (sic!) after first listening to it, it can't be too bad. This definitely meets that criteria and besides, it's a very good overall compilation album, meaning I like the way it was put together. It really is a blast. Go ahead and get it; you won't be disappointed. | |
