The Rolling Stones - BBC Sessions, Volume 8: In Concert, Trans World Dome, St. Louis, MO, 12-12-1997

To quote Michael Corleone in "Godfather III," "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" Every time I think I'm done posting BBC albums by the Rolling Stones, it seems I find another one. This one typically isn't considered a BBC album because it was broadcast on U.S. radio at the time, and also shown on pay-per-view TV. But I found out from the BBC website that it was broadcast on the BBC at the same time, so that makes it a BBC album in my book.

At the time of this concert, the Rolling Stones were promoting their latest album, "Bridges to Babylon." Four songs are from that album: "Anybody Seen My Baby," "Saint of Me," "Flip the Switch," and "Out of Control." Also notable are some guest stars: Dave Matthews, Taj Mahal, and Joshua Redman. The song the band played with Taj Mahal, "Corrina, Corrina," was only ever performed by them at this one concert.

In 1998, the band released a live album of their 1997 tour. It contained three songs from this exact concert: "Waiting on a Friend," "Corrina, Corinna," and "The Last Time." Otherwise, everything here has not been officially released in any audio format. However, a DVD of this concert also exists. 

Sigh. Due to the belated discovery of this album, the two Rolling Stones BBC albums that come after this have been renumbered. If you want to get the updated versions (with revised cover art and mp3 tags), here are the links:

I couldn't find any good images from this exact concert. The cover photo is from another concert in the same tour, in August 1997. From right to left, that's Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, and Charlie Watts.
