I wanna know whats the next Rolling Stones to get

I have Beggers Banquet, Sticky Fingers & Exhile On Main Street
whats the next Stones cd to get? How's Let It Bleed?

some girls is great as is let it bleed.

I love Let It Bleed. My favorite songs off that one are "Midnight Rambler", "Monkey Man", and "Gimme Shelter". That's all I can say really. I'm no Stones expert, and I'm sure there are others on here that can elaborate a bit more.

I still want this boxset:

Let It Bleed, Some Girls and Get Your Ya-Yas Out (one of the best live albums ever recorded) are essential Stones picks.

If you have got Let It Bleed yet, GO GET IT!!!!

oh yea i also wanted to know where I can get the dvd Gimmie Shelter? At my local video stores they say it's out of print. Does anybody know where I can get this?

Isn't it a double cd?

It shouldn't be. The Criterion Collection released it last year.

I'm a huge fan of The Stones. I highly suggest Black and Blue. Great album!

Thats what I was thinking. Is the dvd really good?

Let it Bleed and Get Yer Ya Ya's Out (my favorite live recording of all time) are must-haves.
"Gimmie Shelter" is a very good DVD. 25x5 and Rock & Roll Circus is interesting as well (I like the footage of Brian Jones & Marianne Faithfull), and I like the Four Flicks DVD set - it is from their last tour, which I saw in Atlanta. The Stones were my first concert (which pretty much spoiled me for every other live act except for Prince & Springsteen). They are incredible and always have been.

Try to grab the boot DVD Ladies & Gentleman.One of the best live documents of any band period. This was shot around 1972 when they were promoting the Exile on Main St. album.Mick Taylor's guitar playing carries the whole show..simply phenomenal..

allmusic.com review:


Review by Ben Davies
Ladies and Gentlemen, a recording of the Rolling Stones on their reputedly phenomenal 1972 tour, is, in no uncertain terms, the World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band at its very finest. Mick Jagger is in fine voice and in top form as a frontman, Keith Richards proves why he is so revered as a rhythm guitarist, Charlie Watts is at his peak as a drummer, and Bill Wyman is equally on form. The star of the show, however, is unquestionably the amazing Mick Taylor. The man's brand of blues-rock lead guitar is here more inspirational than ever before. Recorded on the band's tour of the prestigious Exile on Main St. album, this VHS features a wealth of class tracks. "Tumbling Dice," "Sweet Virginia," "All Down the Line," "Happy," and many songs from earlier Stones recordings are performed. The added touch of Taylor's lead to such tracks as "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" place them even above the highly acclaimed studio versions. Despite this recording not being of this highest sound and picture quality, it is acceptable in its current state. What really stands out on this video is, more importantly, the fine concert. Not only is this the best live Rolling Stones release, but it is also arguably the greatest live recording ever.

That's a great choice, but as others have mentioned ,"Get Yer Ya-Yas Out" is essential as well.( I like the live version of "Midnight Rambler" better)
