Licks Live CD in the best mood to play, but reduced!

It was clear that the Stones want to evaluate the Licks Tour commercially more extensively, of course, just by chance just before the Christmas season of 2004. What do you offer the fan of everything already has and the newcomers? CD 1 contains mainly the Greatest Hits, CD 2 offers a few live rarities, which the Stones mainly in smaller venues gave the best. All this comes in a very good mood to fabulous game. The sound is mixed skillfully according to the song arrangements, which contributes to the live feel enormous. That all sounds very promising and better as eg "Flashpoint" or "No Security". If it were not for a few cuts of songs would. Some "Edits" are perhaps still bearable for the novice and old fan. However, it was in "Brown Sugar" and "Rocks Off" clearly exaggerated, because here missing all the verse parts, and chorus parts. That these senseless cuts at the expense of listening pleasure goes, had the production team actually need to be clear .. why only 4 stars!
