I truly feel that the Stones are so much better now, performing live than they ever have been. They have everything down to a science, and it really sounds great. What do you all think? |

is anyone surprised that the 289,572nd time playing Honkeytonk Woman sounds noticeably better than the 1st time it was played? |

I have enjoyed the recent version greatly....But if you dont have the boot Brussels 73....then please after you hear it let me know if you still feel they are best now... |

No I am not kidding you all. I turly feel what I said before. Practicing and performing songs 500,000 times will make you better, and it is more enjoyable to listen to. No, I have never listened to the boot Brussels 73...if you have it, I would like to hear it so I can make a more infomred decision. |

Oh, Handsome Girls 78, and some of the 81 stuff... Keith could actually play then, and Ronnie actually did play at that point.... |

Not sure if I agree with the "playing it half a million times makes it better" argument, but there are plenty of recent boots I enjoy more than the sacred "Brussels 73" or "Handsome Girls."

I'll take the 72 tour, 73 tour, the 69 tour, and even the 78 tour before 2002. as far as 2007 goes, i'll first take 1994, 1976, 1989, and 1981 before 2005. and 2007 still isn't registering. 2005 was bad. straight up bad. 2007? gonna be miserable. count on it. |

They're more entertaining now than in the past, but musically speaking their performances are nowhere near what they once were. |

It will also make you 500.000 times more tired -and bored, occasionally.
I enjoy a Stones gig 100% and I'll be the last to complain about their live performances, but if we are to be realistic, you can't compare a band at its prime to what it sounds like live some twenty years later. They're still too damn good, which says a lot about the levels they've reached, imo. |

Even with all the additional players and three back-up (lead) singers they have now, they were better live years ago. I thought they sounded overall best around the Steel Wheels tour. Technology has improved wonders since the 70's and even 80's also. I have relistened to Brussels lately, and I am not as enamored with it as I once was. Sure it's good, but the arrangements are somewhat flat. Playing a song 150,00 times can suck the life out of it sometimes. |

I first saw them 42 years ago last Sunday so I can tell you that they were MUCH better years ago than they are now! The couple of Bigger Bang tour shows I saw were boring...imagine a Stones show being boring! The last time they were really great for an entire tour was 1981...then it was just them, Stu and Ian and a sax player...now they are the "Vegas Stones" with all the extra musicians and staging!

Whenever I hear boots from the 1981 tour I get that " The Party Has Just Started Feeling " . Indeed , I hear barkers and see colored balloons falling down all around me .

more polished maybe, and as you said, scientific - but you can't compare that raw live energy of their prime years to now. |
|

| twicks1 |
It's a tradeoff...there's less raw energy now, but the arrangements are fuller, tempos are steadier, etc. These things can be good and bad, I guess it's a matter of taste.
Still, there are lots of songs from "Brussels Affair" that I think the Stones play better now. "Gimme Shelter" and "Street Fighting Man" come to mind. |

The Atlantic City show was brilliant. Are the Stones on top of their game? Every time I see them they are. And that's all that matters to me. |
|

Listened to "Brussels Affair" again last night to make sure I'm not insane...and I'm not. Listen to "Tumbling Dice" from there. Yeah, Mick is singing great, guitars are nice and raunchy...but the tempo is totally dragging. It almost sounds like a different song from the "Exile" version.
I'll take the current live rendition. But that's just me. |
