No Security by Rolling Stones (The) (CD, Nov-1998, Virgin Records USA)

I've listened to a few of the Stone's live albums, and you can tell there is a difference in each one. Especially in Mick Jagger's vocals. You can tell he's older, but he holds up well with his age. And the music is still there. No wonder why people shell out $300+ for tickets to see these guys. They still have it, and they don't seem to be slowing down any. There are some guest appearances on this CD, including Dave Matthews who sings a nice duet with Mick on Memory Motel, Taj Mahal who sings on Corrina (I actually mistook him for Joe Cocker when I first heard the song, my bad), and Josh Redman who plays an overpowering sax on Waiting on a Friend. There are some blasts from the past with The Last Time and Live with Me. There are some cool Southern fried finger picking on Respectable, which shows their versatility. People may wonder why these guys keep doing what they're doing, but when you listen to tunes on this set like Gimme Shelter, You Got Me Rocking, and Saint of Me (my personal favorite on this CD), you realize it's because they still got it. If they can play and sing this well (or anywhere even close), they should play 'til they physically can't anymore. After hearing Get Your Ya-Ya's Out and Love You Live, and now No Security, I enjoy listening to the evolution of the Stone's songs. All their sets sound different, but are all equally enjoyable.
