OK, I finally managed to purchase this (for $4.99!!!) and am in the process of downloading it to my laptop, one song at a time. Not the best interface I've ever dealt with, but I'm enjoying the show itself--live versions of "Dancing With Mr. D" and "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo(Heartbreaker)"--stuff that hasn't exactly popped up on live Stones albums before.

I do believe that I've heard this on bootleg before, many years ago, but even on my laptop, this sounds much, much better.

Having live "Doo Doo Heartbreaker" and "Angie" is pretty precious to me.

I bought the show, but I can't figure out how to download the mp3s to my computer. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

On the Google music page, I had to click on the arrow in the lower right hand corner of each individual song and download them one by one. There is a popup saying to click "here" if the download did not start automatically; I had to click it every time. Also, there are a couple of occasions where Google initially attempted to deny me downloading access, but I perservered. There doesn't seem to be any way to download the whole album at once. Again, not the best interface ever devised.

Thanks BM (or should I call you Mac :) ) That's how I figured out how to do it too. Boy, Google music is not user-friendly.

*sigh* A word to the wise...when devising a screen name, be sure to pick something that you are not going to be sick of after a few months.

Sounds like Google Music is something to stay away from if at all possible.

I won't be getting these unless they are lossless FLAC. Very disappointed they don't offer these in FLAC.

Or you could be very naughty and download it for free. And not necessarily feel guilty about it either, as they're effectively forcing you to go and look in other places.

Maybe you can always get what you want.

It's one occasion where being in the ROW for once pays! I has the Flac. 8-)
Perhaps you need to find a friend the 'right side' of the border to download for you and make a road trip with a memory stick to them! :D

: canadaflag:

Tip for ROW peoples.
Use Chrome or Safari as your browser to download with - seems to run better - and on Chrome make sure you have Java enabled and up to date as the downloader at Stones Archive which is good needs it.

lol...I had Linda change my screen name after a couple of years because my original name sounded like someone choking when spoken aloud. On the bright side, your avatar always cheers me up when I see it.

This concert is terrific! I hope they stick to the 70s for starters, and don't wait too long between releases.

Yep great concert. The golden years as far as I'm concerned in Stones history. Not a fan of the later live album so this one hits the sweet spot for me. :)

I'm glad this is download only - so I am not the least bit interested (in paying for it). I'll just get it for free eventually. I will NEVER pay for downloads. Sell me the physical product or I'm not paying (unless you let me send you JPG scans of some dollar bills).
