I always thought of this forum as reasonably well informed, but some of the comments on this thread verge on comic parody. As far as I can tell no-one commenting on this thread (up till now) was there and so are basing their opinions on a tv mix of less than half of the full show.
This is my favourite........

You're forgetting that I have ears.... which, despite dodgy TV mixes, can tell me if I like the music they're playing.
I love a lot of Stones records. Gimme Shelter's groove is one of the best there is. But... musically, I've never heard them even begin to tap into that groove on live recordings of it. That's one example.
Wether or not the sheer scale of the event compensates for that or not, I cannot say. Hence the disclaimer.
