The Rolling Stones - HBO Special

Review by Kevin Leveille

The Rolling Stones have always been a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, and their latest album, HBO Special, is no exception. The album is a live recording of the band's performance at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, and it captures the energy and excitement of their live shows perfectly.

From the opening notes of "Jumpin' Jack Flash," the band is firing on all cylinders, with Mick Jagger's vocals and Keith Richards' guitar work leading the charge. The setlist is a mix of classic hits like "Brown Sugar" and "Gimme Shelter," as well as newer tracks like "Doom and Gloom" and "One More Shot."

One of the standout moments of the album is the band's performance of "Midnight Rambler," which features an extended jam session that showcases the musicianship of each member of the band. Another highlight is Jagger's solo acoustic rendition of "Angie," which brings a quiet, introspective moment to the otherwise high-energy show.

Summary by Kevin Leveille

HBO Special is a must-have for any Rolling Stones fan, as it captures the band at their best, doing what they do best: putting on an unforgettable live performance.
