Comments:

Pretty good-sounding soundboard near the end of the first leg of the 1989-1990 "Steel Wheels" (or was it "Urban Jungle"?) tour. The band had cut down the set somewhat from the early dates of the tour, but by this point the setlist was refined to feature a pretty good cross-section of the band's catalog.

This appears to be the soundtrack of the pro shot video; it's somewhat limited in dynamics (highs and lows are fairly compressed, and the overall recording is a little flat), but very listenable. Vocals are prominent and the overall mix is pretty good. It doesn't compete with the "pure" soundboards in circulation from this tour, but it's well worth having for even a casual Stones collector who likes this era -- IMO, it is much better-sounding than most audience recordings from this tour.
