"Keith Richards' and Ronnie Wood's guitars are mixed in very strongly on this CD (definitely more so than on "No Security" CD. Along with great saxophone and rythmn sounds this is the ass-kickingest version of "Live with Me" you'll ever hear followed by an equally incredible "Gimme Shelter." Tremendous bluesy intro to "Tumbling Dice" with only piano and hand clapping and Mick and Keith and backups singing for first stanza which then leads into live recording. No telling how many times I've played this 4-song release. I can't seem to get enough of it. If you're a true Stones' fan I can't imagine you not loving this CD. Though only 4 songs IT IS WORTH IT!"
Even Better Than "Stripped"

"The three unreleased live tracks are the best versions I have ever heard! I can't believe these songs didn't make the "Stripped" album. This is an essential Stones cd!!! Also, the cd single "Like A Rolling Stone" is a must-have-Stones-purchase! It has two unreleased live versions of "Black Limousine" and "All Down The Line" from the Stripped sesions. Buy both cds!!!"
Probably The Best Tracks The Stones Have Ever Recorded

"This is one of the best CD releases in the entire Stones collection. The tracks were recorded during club dates and they are definitely some of the best recordings of the band ever. It is worth buying just for the incredible Lisa Fischer vocals on Gimmie Shelter. Although you can hear this on the Maxx DVD, this is the only CD recording where Lisa really hits it. Mick and Charlie are outstanding on this recording of Gimmie Shelter as well. Tumbling Dice and Live With Me are also outstanding versions."
