The energy is fantastic and that loose rawness makes 'Live With Me' and 'Love In Vain' both better than their studio versions. Jagger's interraction is sleazy and brilliant and there is no better version of 'Street Fighting Man' than the hot-blooded, in-the-moment cut here. But 'Stray Cat Blues' is, as all of their early career blues covers were, too heavily indebted to its original creation, and why oh why is 'Sympathy For The Devil' walked through as a standard rock song?
