Album Notes The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Keith Richards (vocals, guitar); Ron Wood (guitar); Bill Wyman (bass); Charlie Watts (drums). Additional personnel: Eric Clapton (guitar); Bobby Keys (saxophone); Matt Clifford (French horn, keyboards); Chuck Leavell (keyboards); Bernard Fowler, Lisa Fischer, Cindy Mizelle, Tessa Niles, Katie Kissoon (background vocals). The Uptown Horns: Arno Hecht, Paul Litteral, Bob Funk, Crispen Cioe (horns). Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig (Gateway Mastering Studios). Prior to the release of 1989's STEEL WHEELS, most rock fans figured that there was a better chance of spotting the Loch Ness Monster than catching the Stones in concert again. Band founders Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were waging a bitter verbal battle in the press (and issuing solo albums), while longtime fans criticized the Stones' last few unfocused studio efforts. It appeared like the band was done for, until Jagger and Richards reconciled and reunited the other boys in the band for their first U.S. tour in nearly eight years. The tour was one of the most successful ever undertaken by a rock band, as all the mammoth shows were instant sell-outs, including selections from all eras of the band's vast catalogue. It's still a kick to hear such longtime classic-rock radio standards as "Start Me Up," "Miss You," "Paint It Black," "Brown Sugar," and "Sympathy for the Devil," as well as such overlooked classics as "Factory Girl," while later compositions like "Continental Drift" fit in well. Also included were two new studio recordings, "Highwire" and "Sex Drive." | Find errors in the product description? Submit a catalog update request now. | ||||||||||||||||
Reviews  CD PurcasedReview created: 01/07/07 by:  0 of 1 people found this review helpful. I like the group so I wanted the songs on the CD, but it was not mentioned that it was a live concert version, which I really dont care for. I like the original recordings better.

The Stones have quite a few live albums. I don't know which one is the best, they're all a little different, each recorded after various albums. I haven't heard one that hasn't rocked yet, and this one is no different. Flashpoint comes on the Steel Wheels tour. It's almost like a big band concert, with all kinds of instruments going with this one. The mixing on this CD is exceptional. You can hear every instrument nicely, and the vocals, whether lead or backup, are in full force. Highlights on this one are Paint It Black, which has a cool acoustic guitar playing the main rhythem, Sympathy For The Devil, Brown Sugar, Jumpin' Jack Flash, and Satisfaction-which are all played consecutively on tracks 11-15. They are out in full force on these 5 tracks. A little extra bonus is on track 10, Red Rooster, which has a guest appearance by Eric Clapton. So you get some cool blues fingerpicking as well. I also enjoyed Rock and a Hard Place which I believe is the only one off their new album (at the time). They also throw in a couple of new studio tunes in as well with Highwire and Sex Drive, which are pretty good also. It's hard to find anything wrong with this set. They always seem to pull it together when they're out on the road and put together exceptional shows. Review ID: 10000000002324303 Was this review helpful? Report this review Good stuff!Review created: 11/30/05 by: 1 of 3 people found this review helpful. I don't know to what extent it was caused by sheer nostalgia, but I loved this album right from the start. I saw the Stones only once, in the early seventies and I can't say this album reminded me much of that concert: too much water had gone under the bridge by the time "Flashpoint" was produced. Yet this album just hits all the right spots for me, bringing me back to the sixties (if only briefly) and then re-exploring the next few decades one by one with music that I had never heard in a live context before. My test of a live album is simply listenability: if I can put it back on the turntable (sic!) after first listening to it, it can't be too bad. This definitely meets that criteria and besides, it's a very good overall compilation album, meaning I like the way it was put together. It really is a blast. Go ahead and get it; you won't be disappointed. Review ID: 10000000000082488 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Hot Guns and Cold Knives: Flashpoint: The Rolling StonesReview created: 01/29/04 by: George_Chabot -- a member of Epinions Pros: The Rolling Stones captured live in a superior performance. Cons: Other groups need to build up a set like this one! It s a long way from London s seedy Crawdaddy Club to the largest, most prestigious venues in the world and the title The World s Greatest Rock n Roll Band, yet The Rolling Stones have made that journey and continue to go strong after forty-plus years in the spotlight. The Rolling Stones were in the first wave of the famous British Invasion of 1964 along with The Beatles and The Dave Clark Five. By 1965, with the release of the world renowned single Satisfaction, the Stones had firmly eclipsed their British rivals and won a place in the hearts of rock n roll fans who like their music a bit.. Review ID: 10000000000231781  Definitely worth the money- and a few hundred listens.Review created: 01/27/05 by: paintgirl86 -- a member of Epinions Pros: Ruby Tuesday, You Can't Always Get What You Want, and Sympathy For The Devil Cons: some sound problems- not major but slightly noticable after a few listens This CD was my introduction to the Stones and it certainly made me want to listen to more. The main reason I bought it was for "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Ruby Tuesday" but I discovered some other classics. I didn't really understand the first cut, "Continental Drift" until I read a book about the Stones- so I don't really listen to it. It does only last 28 seconds though so it's not a drain on the album either way. The story behind the song does make it more interesting to listen to, I'd advise you to check out the story behind the song if it interests you. Obviously, they...
