Classic Album Review: The Rolling Stones | No Security

This seventh live set is no Get Yer Ya-Yas Out. Thankfully, it's no Flashpoint either.

This came out in 1998 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


On their seventh live album, what could The Rolling Stones have to offer?

Well, this time, they’ve got some cool obscure selections such as Memory Motel and Sister Morphine, guest spots by Dave Matthews, Taj Mahal and Joshua Redman, and only four songs from Bridges to Babylon. The bad news? Some performances are pretty awful — they basically butcher The Last Time — and four new songs is still three too many. This is no Get Yer Ya-Yas Out, though thankfully, it’s no Flashpoint either.
