Title: Stones Still Can Rock
Review: Flashpoint is a live album from the Steel Wheels tour. At the time they had almost thirty years of material behind them, but they still could pull out a couple of chestnuts to play along side their anthems like "Jumping Jack Flash", "Satisfaction", "Brown Sugar" & "Start Me Up". "Little Red Rooster" is an old blues number that Eric Clapton shows up to play guitar on. "Factory Girl" is from Beggars Banquet and is a real gem and although it doesn't appear on the album, they played the psychedelic "2000 Light Years From Home". They run through new songs like "Sad Sad Sad" and "Rock and A Hard Place" without much feeling, appearing to play them merely to promote the Steel Wheels album. "Sympathy For The Devil" and "Miss You" are play with real fervor though. Unlike any other Stones live album before, this contains two new studio tracks, "Highwire" and "Sex Drive". The former is an excellent song while the latter isn't bad, but not really noteworthy.
