CD Review
RollingStonesFlashpoint: The Urban Jungle World Tour, The Rolling Stones, Virgin Records, 1989
I will repeat here what I have mentioned in other reviews of the early work of The Rolling Stones…. “Hey, in 2009 no one, including this reviewer, NEEDS to comment on the fact that The Rolling Stones, pound for pound, have over forty plus years earned their place as the number one band in the rock ‘n’ roll pantheon.”
Previously in this space I have reviewed various Stones compilations that featured one or more combination of their “greatest hits”. In this world tour CD we get those well-known and deservedly-covered hits and a few new pieces composed for the tour but mainly we get The Stones live, which is always a treat when one see the group in person or, as here, through a recording made up of tracks, presumably the best ones, from various stops on this 1989 tour. Stands out here are the Willie Dixon classic made famous by Howlin’ Wolf, "Little Red Rooster”, their “Factory Girl” and “Sympathy For The Devil” and a couple of new (at least to me) tunes, “Highwire” and “Sex Drive”.
