Bruno Stone What about Flashpoint? How is the guitars and drumms sound in it? And what is the ``killer potential`` of SFTD from it?
June 5th, 2005 05:36 PM
ListenToTheLion superfluous live album (too many overdubs). Better listen to some goods boots of that tour.

Soldatti The only good thing about Flashpoint its the 2 studio songs, the rest is a studio album with crowd noise and bad cuts.

T&A stinks. SFTD? woulda been fine - but they cut 2 minutes of KR's solo out of it! unbelievable. a horrendous album, IMO - saved only by the inclusion of a nice Factory Girl.

kath i don't hate it, but it wouldn't be on my "must have list"....

corgi37 Boring, boring, boring! Dull as dishwater.

The 2 studio tracks are the only saving grace.

I dont think i have played the cd more than 5 times since i bought it the day it came out.

Jumacfly try "atlantic city 89" instead Bruno...you can DL it quite easily and there are no overdubs just the band in top form (and raw guitars!!!)
atlantic city SFTD kicks ass and Keef solo is a true masterpiece...

cheers

Personally,
IMO I love the album. I always have. It captures the 89 tour spirit entirely. I have always loved this album. It kinda runs like a greatest hits package but hey... The albums sound makes you feel as if you are there and it really takes you back in a time capsule to the 89 tour.

UGot2Rollme it's a must have, if only for the Red Rooster with Eric Clapton (unless of course you have the Atlantic City soundboard of that performance - probably easily available as it was broadcast live on radio)
June 6th, 2005 09:10 AM
lotsajizz it rocks...sure the cuts/overdubs take away from the imperfection that is the perfection of a Stones performance, but it sounds very clean and the guitars are up in the mix and Mick's overdubbed vocals are excellent, particularly on JJF and Miss You....worth having, at least as much as Live Licks

shit, they're ALL worth having!!

blackandblue Flashpoint is bullshit. Leave it in the recordstore.

CraigP You can tell a good Stones album by it's cover. The cover of this one makes me wanna hurl.

Indeed. ugly covers: dirty work, flashpoint, no security, steel wheels, bridges to babylon, undercover, voodoo lounge, live licks. All of them weak albums.
June 6th, 2005 12:10 PM
TooTough I´ve listened to it two times since 1991. That says all.
June 6th, 2005 12:12 PM
mac_daddy i like dirty work, with the exception of one or two tracks, but i think the cover is rough...

All the covers post 1981 were very ugly, only Stripped maybe and 40 Licks were decent.

gustavobala i read here, that is the better tour from ronnie!

Are you sure Voodoo Lounge, Bridges to Babylon were weak?

How about Undercover?
