This is one of the best of the club shows the Stones in 2002 -- a great setlist, first-ever performances of songs, special guests, and inspired show. If you are a Stones fan and don't have this show, you need this one.

There are at least 2 other common sources of this show, but I like this one best. A friend recorded this with CSB mikes about 25 feet back on the right side, and the sound was perfect. The crowd noise is minimal (except when Bono came onstage unexpectedly).

One wart: After EQ'ing, breaking tracks, burning it, and deleting the originals, I found one spot of brief diginoise -- during the break between "Start Me Up" and "Live With Me" (tracks 2 and 3 on disc 1). Since there weren't any other problems and the diginoise didn't interfere with anything, I left it alone.
