The Rolling Stones have built themselves a fine conundrum with this double-disc anthology culled from performances on their 40th Anniversary tour of 2002-03, releasing arguably their most comprehensive and compelling live recording at a moment in history when it seems to matter least. The Stones' by now overwhelming spate of live albums has consistently been the most disappointing part of their considerable oeuvre, but the band--particularly the chunky/bluesy twin guitar locomotion of Keith Richards and Ron Wood--are in a form here that rivals the halcyon touring behind <I>Sticky Fingers</I> and <I>Exile on Main Street</I>. Befitting this tour's anniversary aims, they tackle material that ranges from their original Brit Invasion roots ("Satisfaction," "Paint It Black") through 70's superstardom (with Sheryl Crow guesting on "Honky Tonky Women") and a middle-age that was anything but staid. Disc two is largely given over to paying energetic, loving tribute to roots heroes like B.B. King ("Rock Me, Baby"), Otis Redding ("That's How Strong My Love Is") and even Hoagy Carmichael (Richards' raggedly sweet "The Nearness of You"), concluding the show with Mick Jagger's voice triumphantly being joined by soul legend Solomon Burke on a buoyant, gospel-fervent version of his "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love." <I>--Jerry McCulley</I>

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars A trifle less satanic collection of classics.......2007-04-05

The Stones get three points for filling this double CD with favorites such as "Monkey Man" that haven't appeared on previous live albums. The problem is that Mick can't hit the same notes that he could hit when he was 27. "Rocks Off" is downright painful as he ratchets his vocals down. I'd rather hear "no" Rocks Off than a painfully labored version. What MADE the original a classic was its "shot out of a cannon" arrogance. It's like Mick thought about the best part of the song and concluded "Well, we can do without THAT..." No we CAN'T, Mick! The wonderful and amazing Lisa Fischer once again accents "Gimme Shelter," but her ultimate performance of this track can be found on the Japanese import CD single of the "Stripped" version of "Wild Horses" (director Martin Scorsese lifted her bone-chilling vocal solo from that version for a climactic moment in his film "Casino"). There are NO jaw-dropping performances in this set, and with all due respect to the band's fans (I'm one of them), there SHOULD be. Mick's coasting his way through, and to a lesser degree, so are Woody & Keith (although "Happy" is better than the majority of what Mick phones in here). To paraphrase KISS via Homer Simpson, "the Stones used to rock and roll all night and party ev-er-y day. Then it was every other day." Maybe "Live Licks" should have stayed in the vaults. Former strutting rooster Jagger sounds like the heavily bruised veteran of one too many cockfights, and that's sad.

5 out of 5 stars Still The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band Around.......2007-02-08

I may be one of the few Stones fans left who still enjoys the live albums that follow every tour. Stripped and No security were both great from start to finish. Live Licks continues that tradition. I don't need to hear the live versions of Satifaction or Brown Sugar for the 10,000th time, but when they're placed along side Gimme Shelter, Rocks Off, Monkey Man and Can't You Hear Me Knocking, it all sounds just right. Now Keith, get the Winos together for one more album/tour!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Great album.......2006-10-04

i luv this album. its a little unnecessary for its time. although its great to here some new songs from their tour. oh yeah and i choke the chicken whenever i see the album cover. very hot! imagine a girl or a guy licking you.

3 out of 5 stars A redundant live album!.......2006-03-09

I love the stones. no doubt about it. I have all there albums that they had ever released. Im just wondering why almost all of the songs in LIVE LICKS,particularly in side 1, they had done before in previous Live albums. Any die hard stone fan would be very happy to hear live versions of songs they had done in the past. Live licks could have been much, much better if they had included songs like....SHE'S A RAINBOW, DANDELION, SHE'S SO COLD, ONE HIT TO THE BODY, ALL ABOUT YOU, LOVE IS STRONG,AS TEARS GO BY, LADY JANE,WE LOVE YOU, 2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME,INDIAN GIRL, LITTLE T&A, HANG FIRE, MOTHERS LITTLE HELPER, DON'T STOP,WINNING UGLY, SALT OF THE EARTH, PLAY WITH FIRE, etc, etc.

Anyway, im still anticipating another live stones album in the near future. Hope they do included some of the songs above. Im sure they will release another Live album because the Roliing Stones are here to stay!!!!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Where's Ronnie?.......2005-12-20

While many of the reviews here are slagging the performances found on this 2 CD set, my only gripe is with the mix. I've got many Stones live releases from various stanges in their career, and the performances found on Live Licks don't really strike me as being sub-par (the best, of course, being on "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" which continues to be the band's gold standard for live releases).

But what does stick out like a sore thumb is the terrible mix. I thought something was wrong with my car stereo at first, until I played the CD's on a variety of different stereos and came to the conclusion that it just sounds that way. For one thing, Keef is mixed WAY too loud. Keith Richards' guitar is cranked to 11, while the entirety of the rest of the band is at about a 6. I love Keith's playing as much as the next guy, but when you have these CD's cranked, his jagged riffs slice into your brain like a ninja sword, while it's tough to make out anything else that's going on. Ronnie Wood is all but invisible here. A big part of the Stones sound is the way he and Keith weave their parts in and out of each other. When it's just Keef, part of the magic is lost, and the sound is noticeably thinner. Even Charlie's drums are buried in the mix. Anyone wanting to hear Keith's guitar playing front and center to try to learn his style will love this CD set, but for those looking for the STONES sound, you may find the sound quality lacking here.

I do like some of the nuggets here that were somewhat unexpected, like Muddy Waters' "Rock Me," and Keef's "You Don't Have to Mean it," from Bridges to Babylon. Of course the trusty warhorses are acounted for, such as "Brown Sugar" and "Satisfaction," but let's be honest - is any fan of the Stones going to get mad and skip to the next song if they hear "Honky Tonk Women" one more time? Not likely. The warhorses are equally pleasing here, and sound as good as you're used to hearing them (except for the mix, of course).
