"This latest offering, culled from the landmark Steel Wheels tour that coincided with the release of the album of the same name, is seeped in nostalgia, given that it was their first outing in eight years and the last with erstwhile bassist Bill Wyman. However, as always, the band proved that despite their archival stature they remained as vital as ever ... Are the Stones still essential? Given all that's offered by Steel Wheels, the answer is, yet again, overwhelmingly affirmative".
