I had really forgotten how many I had and just what a wealth of audio there is circulating.
There is an enormous amount of bootlegged studio material but 95% of it comes from ratty cassette dubs.
This is a rare release where everything is master reel sourced.
I read the txt file and am looking forward to it.
Some of the AUD pulls from back in the day are not poor at all, I'll take some outside noise and a full spectrum of sound over a SBD that is so hot in the guitars and vox that it is practically unlistenable (whatever '78 show I had on the other day).
The 1978 stuff to have is "Handsome Girls" on the Rattlesnake label. Perfect alternate mix of Fort worth and a second compilation made from different shows and then a bunch of highlights from Memphis or somewhere. All mixed from multi-tracks in perfect quality.
There is a similar stash of tapes from the 1981 tour but they are many complete shows and it's tough to find the actual stereo multi-track versions since poor board cassettes also circulate.
That's the only 1978/1981 stuff worth listening to IMO.

I thought I had that Rattlesnake release but I also forgot about the Some Girls live release ten years ago.
I don't revisit '81 a lot even with all the SBDs circulating.

The Rattlesnake release is all that exists from 1978 in highly enjoyable soundboard quality.
Beyond that you are getting into Led Zeppelin-dry/unflattering/badly mixed-desk tape territory.
Before that you've got Brussels Affair '73 and various leftovers from those tapes, and some great stuff from 1972 in merely decent quality and in various stages of disarray, and that's pretty much it.
It's highly aggravating that they haven't done anything official with the 1972 live tapes yet which are arguably the best they have.
Fun show. I’ve never been a big fan but there are some tunes that are amongst my favorites. Im sure the deep-cut Stones aficionados we’re disappointed in the set list, but as a casual fan, I thought it was great. Apparently, they’ve canceled Brown Sugar themselves, so now chance to hear it, but I did get Gimme Shelter and Paint it Black. Keith sang two tunes I’d never heard before. I saw they had done Happy a show or two back and was hoping to get it, but no.
Steve Jordan was fucking fantastic. Not once did he play or add something that made you think someone other than Charlie was on drums. After the first couple of songs, we were afraid Mick would have to go backstage for some oxygen. He was totally out of breath and could barely talk between songs. He got his second wind tho, and I spent most of the rest of the show amazed that was a 78-year-old man giving that performance. His voice was still strong and they played every song in the original key. Keith and Ronnie made plenty of mistakes throughout the show on both leads and rhythm. I expected as much going in so I wasn’t really bothered that much by it. Except for in Gimme Shelter. That section after the guitar solo and before the lady vocalist comes in was extended a bit and Keith was just playing a sloppy rhythm and he honked out a wrong note that pulled me right out of the ominous and urgent groove that has always made it a favorite for me.
All said, we had a good time and Papa Wease and I can finally both mark The Rolling Stones off the list.

Doing another run through but of only the US albums - an arbitrary designation, but just wanted to chill with these guys for a bit. All the way to Steel Wheels. Albums I like way more the second time through: Black and Blue, Undercover, Dirty Work. Albums that I like less than last time: Their Satanic Majesty’s Request and It’s Only Rock and Roll. Yet nothing so far is gnawing at me. It’s all pretty outstanding, though clearly some albums are heavier hitters than others.
Okay, let’s talk briefly about A Bigger Bang, which I have relistened to. Mostl of what I have seen is it being panned as another generic Stones album, but on further listen I actually enjoyed this more than their other most recent albums of original material (Blue & Lonesome is pretty awesome). Does it match up to their heyday from ‘68-‘72? Of course not. But I do think it stacks up well with the 80s, 90s, and mid-70s albums. Rough Justice through She Saw Me Coning (the first 7 songs) are all solid to very good. Laugh I Nearly Died, Look What the Cat Dragged In, Driving Too Fast, and Infamy were enjoyable. Hell, even Sweet Neo Con has an irresistible little swagger to it. I don’t remember what I said about this album in the journey but I am coming around to it.
