I enjoyed the Four Flicks DVD set, so the accompanying live set should be fun...
The Rolling Stones: "Live Licks" double CD (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood) includes guest appearances by Sheryl Crow and Solomon Burke. The Rolling Stones are documenting their hugely successful 2002-2003 world tour with the Virgin Records release of "Live Licks," a two-CD set featuring guest appearances by Sheryl Crow and soul legend Solomon Burke, as well as 11 tracks never before released on a Stones live disc.
The 2002-2003 tour celebrated both the band's 40th anniversary and the release of "40 Licks," the first Stones greatest-hits collection to span the group's entire career. Like the tour, "Live Licks" finds the band in a celebratory mood, delivering both the many hits in its deep, illustrious catalogue, as well as lesser-known cuts and covers.
Finding Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood as charismatic, intimate and commanding as ever, "Live Licks" is divided in halves: Disc one is a collection of such anthemic, universally loved songs as "Honky Tonk Women" (featuring Sheryl Crow), "Paint It Black," "Brown Sugar," "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Angie," "Start Me Up" and "Gimme Shelter."
Disc two includes a collection of such lesser-known gems as "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," "Rocks Off," "When The Whip Comes Down" and "Worried About You." This disc also includes Keith Richards' rendition of the Hoagy Carmichael classic "The Nearness of You," as well as Stones versions of "Rock Me, Baby" and "That's How Strong My Love Is," songs not written by but associated with B.B. King and Otis Redding, respectively. Disc two ends with Solomon Burke joining the band for a version of his own "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love."
Playing to more than 2 million people worldwide, the Stones' 2002-2003 tour visited everything from theaters to stadiums, sometimes in the same city (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc.).
