Schleisher Just a question for those in the know, is the 1981 club date with Muddy Waters a good performance, and what is the best bootleg of it?
Besides wanting to hear this one, there's the excellent Mocambo (sp?) gig from '77, the Marquee in '71, and I was wondering is there a list anywhere of all the club dates they've done since 1969?

see the setlists page and you'll find them all!

A lot depends what your definition of a "club" show is. Latterly it seems to include theatres, although a 3,000 seater theatre such as Brixton Academy or Roseland Ballroom could hardly be defined as "clubs"

By that yardstick, the entire 1971 UK tour consisted of "club shows"

The Muddy Waters show (NOT with the Stones, just Mick, Keith & Ronnie plus various blues greats) is one of the all time essential shows. But get it on DVD.

Gazza I'd say that the only 14 shows which would be genuinely 'club' size (say, less than 1000 people) in the last 35 years or so would be

Marquee, London 26.3.71 (2 shows, filmed for TV special)
El Mocambo, Toronto 4 & 5.3.77
Sir Morgans Cove, Worcester, Ma. 14.9.81
The 100 Club, London 31.5.82
The 100 Club, London 23.2.86
Toad's, Newhaven, Ct. 12.8.89
RPM Club, Toronto 19.7.94
Paradiso, Amsterdam 26 & 27.5.95
Horseshoe Tavern, Toronto 4.9.97
Double Door, Chicago 18.9.97
Palais Royale, Toronto 16.8.02

Plenty of theatre sized venues though, including about 12 on the last tour and others during the last decade including Shepherds Bush Empire, Brixton Academy, Paris Olympia, Hard Rock in Vegas, the 3 theatre warm up gigs in Scotland in 1982, etc.

they also did a few video shoots in recent years in clubs, where between takes in front of a live audience they actually played a few songs :

St Marks Bar & Grill, NYC 1981 ("Waiting On A Friend" promo)
Bains Douches, Paris 18 Oct. 1983 ("Undercover")
Bagleys Warehouse, London Sept. 1995 ("Like a rolling stone"
