I've done this before. I'm interested to see it again.
If you had to rank the tours, from best to worst, in your expert opinon, what would it look like?
I haven't heard shows from all the tours, so I'm not really qualified. But here's my take.
'75
'73
'81
'72
'69
'82
'02-'03 (NA Leg)
'78
'71
'95
'89
'76
'03
'94
'97
'99
Again, some of that is really guesswork from MP3s. Not an expert opinion at all.

My opinion:
from best to worst (post 1969):
1969-70
1981-82
1975-76
1972-73
1978
2002-03
1994-95
1997-99
1989-90
I don't like 1989-90 tour much because it was a shock to see Stones using background vocalists instead of Keef and Ronnie. Can't say it's that bad after all but there are things that influence your opinion...

I am amazed so many people ranked the 75 tour not only high but at the very top.
I have only one boot from the tour (last night in LA) and it doesn't seem all that special. Sure, Ronnie played better than he ever would again, but that's not saying all that much. They let Billy Preston take up an unprecedented two songs' worth of time, and the set list wasn't anything unusual, though I am fond of the IYCRM/GOMC thing. On my LA show, there was lots of noodling and tuning up, and the sound is brash and tinny.
Can someone please elaborate on what's so great about 75? The best boot?
P.S. I agree with JB that tours after 81 really can't be compared with the previous.
My take; 73, 72, 69, 81, 75, 78. |

The answer.
1975
Club Shows from 02 & 03

The rest is a toss up.
Let me know if you guys need anything else OK? I'll be right here on the trade floor watching the market go up.

well both questions i'd answer in a single phrase
"who went to church this sunday??"
granted, i've heard other '75 boots and they're not so hot and i never saw any shows of the stones that year
but church this sunday is solid stones must have - it's very early days of the ronnie era and everybody is into it and it's working
"tumbling dice" and "wild horses" are worth the costs in any event - but it's all fantastic - even those stupid noises billy makes in BS - they're so cocaine!!
TD shows that the vein they were tapping in 72/73 (62/63)was still a happening thing and as for the latter well it's the stones on the top of their game, the taylor years and a naff chord change from keith notwith standing
ronnie's solo in WH is a breakthrough in sonics and mick's ad lib on TD just reeks of something greater than the sum of its parts and sits easily between mowtown and toots and the maytalls - zenithtic (is that a word??)
check the rave up at the end of JJF - and how ollie and charlie trade off the final beat - charlie, of course, has the last word...
but then i hear "stereo baby" and i'm not so impressed but a lot of that maybe down to the way in which the show was recorded - "church" is superlative and rides the crest of a wave
waving.......

Zack:
I can understand why some folks aren't impressed with '75 ('76, by the way - is a far cry from '75 - the wheels were coming off for Keith and the whole injection of B&B songs just didn't work, IMO).
However, on a hot night in '75 - especially early in the tour (Buffalo for example) - the boys were playing with the intensity they had during the 72/73 heyday. Sure there were excesses and Mick had adopted his new street-tough vocal persona. But, musically, things were tight and Ronnie was playing on a level he's not been on before or since (as you pointed out). At this point it was obvious and clear why he was chosen to replace MT - the Stones didn't miss MT one iota on that tour. |

Funny you should mention Buffalo 75 as that was the first time I saw them and it flat out rocked to the max. The lotus stage, rip roaring guitars, great rockers like ADTL, IYCRM, Starfucker, GS all back to back was extremely intense. Watching Mick riding that huge inflatible cock was outrageous as well, long before they became PC. They were pushing they envelop and mostly out of control until it finally started falling apart in 76. You just can't keep that frenzied pace forever. It was simply the pinacle for many of us. Say what you want about BP, he was a hell of an entertainer in the 70s and a lot more dynamic than Chucky.
Check out the remastered LA 75 DVD. 1972-75 were simply their best performance years and best setlists. What makes 2002-03 so good is the setlists are very similar to this period. |

Billy Preston was great cool player, i saw him with Clapton in Fort Lauderdale in 2001 and he was great i would prefer him to Chuck. Would be great to hear Heartbreaker with Billy.
Billy is also pervert. |

In addition to being a pervert he is also an arsonist
Is he out of the can now?
He burned his house down for the insurance money |

What late night show was he "conductor" on.
Also, having seen Clapton 4 times since the early 80's, I can attest the man is the most boring performer I have ever seen...talented-yes-but the stage presence of a corpse. |
