Just want to get a feel for. well how everyone feels......
Here is my list, starting with 72
81
72
78
02
75
97
94
89
99
In 81 I felt they were incredibly tight, although in a sloppy stonesesque sense......
72 no explanation necessary, my only fault with 72 is the lack of weaving and Keef playing mainly rythym as oppossed to weave riffs
99- Just didn't feel it, felt 97 much more (Sissy Morph & OOC, namely) |

The Rankings :
1. The 2002-2004 Tour ( Best Stones Yet )
2. The 1999 NS Tour ( Keith Covered Ronnie's Ass Nicely )
3. The 1989 - 1990 Tour ( Steel Wheels was a damn fine album )
4. The 1997- 1998 B2B Tour ( Where was Ronnie ? )
5. The 1981 - 82 Tour ( Whenever I hear boots from this one I see colored balloons falling down all around me and I get that " The Party has just started feeling " ............................and you ? )
JACKY !

I love 81, but there's NO COMPARISON to the incomparable '72 tour...not even close in my book. 72 set the standard for live rock'n'roll which has yet to be equalled...and I'm not holding my breath. and, I'm not sure why 69 is left off - that's the second best tour they've ever done. 81 was the last real rockn'roll show with no gimicks or choreography.

78 Punk Rock kicked their arse into gear, with Berry beat
02 Fleet Center, funk back w/ Love Train, Woody shines..

W/ our little fight about who has more bootlegs, Stones or Zepp, I like your list alot but I would switch the last two around to 89 then 97. Nice to see you put 81 at #3. Cheers. |

1978 US tour - concise sets of great material, superb playing througout, lots of the weave, the rhythm section has never been better (Bill sounds fantastic), this tour supllies the best sounding boots, too.
1973 Australia - short sets and they all ripped!! Mick Taylor's swan song.
1972 Tour of the Americas (if the Unreleased Decca sounded as good as Handsome Girls does, this tour might have the top spot on my list)
1969 North American Tour - apparently Jagger's favorite; if they weren't so consistently out of tune, this one might have claimed the top spot in my book)
1975 Tour of the Americas - Ronnie passes his initiation test with flying colors. The star stage, the inflatable phallus - this is the tour that every arena/stadium rock act has tried to top!!!
1981 US Tour - the first one I saw (at age 10), and the one that shows what a band can do on tour when they have a good album to support.
1970, 1971, 1973 and 1976 Europe - the early tours rocked, and the latter ones definitely had their moments. At the same time, these tours (esp. 1973 and 1976) DEFINE rock 'n roll decadence. Many consider Leeds 1971 and Brussels & Wembley 1973 to be the finest Stones shows ever. I would add the Paris '76 stuff, to that list - but the rest of that tour was a mess.
1994-5 Voodoo Lounge - again, shows what a good album will do for you on the road.
As for the rest, the second stage has always worked for them, so the Bridges and Licks shows are worth checking out. If I never hear "Sad, Sad, Sad" or "Rock and a Hard Place" again it will be too soon, so I am not too big on 1989 or 1990. The tour that they had all the lame guests sing half the show sucked, too. As for the early, Brian Jones-era stuff, it is all well-rehearsed and worth it if you are into it. There is some sweet BBC stuff, and a "Got Live" boot that circulates, that have most of the highlights from this period.
Thanks for starting this great thread; I look forward to reading the responses of others.

This is really hard question because you hav people judging from their own exeperience and others from listening to boots. It's really an impossible question because of the vareity on boot quality and performance quality I think, so it's a big generalisation at very best imo to even attaempt to rank them.
But roughly..
72,
Euro 73 when they hit the nail.
AUS 73 (bias here)
Tied 69 and 70. I haven't heard enough of 70 to really say, but of what I have it's pretty damn awesome.
82
I guess 71, but all I heard is Marquee and Leeds, so who knows.
78
75
some of 76
02/03 (this is my only attended tour and I loved every show I saw, even though I wasn't totally happy about the mix etc., so it makes me think how much I would have loved the others, it's hard to judge, you listen to a boot from 02 against an earlier tour, so much subjectivity (naturally) it's tough to even start comparing for me).
