Rolling Stones/France 2003 Soundboard Edition

The soundboard album from the theater gig, which was the highlight of the “LICKS” tour, one of the peaks of the Stones’ live performances in recent years, received a tremendous response when it was released in 2017, and it has been sold out for a long time. It is a parade of rare songs, but the sound quality is also excellent, so there are still calls for it to be re-released. Now, the Wiltern Theater has been released from the 2002 theater gig of the “LICKS” tour, but the atmosphere is clearly different between 2002 and 2003, even though it is the theater gig of the same “LICKS” tour, with “Worried About You” not heard there, and Keith’s “The Nearness Of You”, one of the songs that symbolizes the 2003 repertoire. That is also why this period is one of the peaks in recent years. And above all, the momentum of the performance in “Neighbours”, where Keith’s favorite rock and roll phrases explode, is clearly greater than that of the Wiltern Theater. What a luxurious time it was to be able to compare the theater gigs of the “LICKS” tour with the best quality stereo soundboards. In fact, both are representative of the theater gigs of 2002 and 2003. In addition, the official real-time release of the “LICKS” tour was the half-baked concept live album “LIVE LICKS”, and it is common knowledge among enthusiasts that “FOUR FLICKS”, which included footage and benefited from the DVD era, was overwhelmingly more substantial as a document from the tour. Even at that time, theater gigs were suddenly popular among enthusiasts, and above all, there was a demand for a live album with only theater sound sources. It is no surprise that “PARIS OLYMPIA 2003”, which beautifully reproduced the theater gig, was well received. Ironically, unlike the time of its release in 2017, the demand for “PARIS OLYMPIA 2003” as a comparison target increased even more with the release of the Wiltern Theater. Rather, the charm that is different from Wiltern has not faded even now. In addition, the release of the shocking in-ear monitor recording version of Olympia, “PARIS OLYMPIA 2003 In Ear Monitor Recording”, is the perfect timing. Olympia in 2003 is highly popular among enthusiasts because it generously showed off rare repertoire that will never be played now, such as “Hand Of Fate” and “Dance”. This is a reissue of a masterpiece that still reproduces the theater gig of the precious “LICKS” tour with perfect sound quality, so this time the jacket has been renewed. The long-awaited re-release of the best soundboard album that guarantees satisfaction not only for enthusiasts who have been waiting for the reissue, but also for those who will be experiencing it for the first time with this release!
