1stonesfan I first posted this on Shidoobeeland...does this board have a different opinion?

Bootlegs are judged very subjectively based upon a combination of sound quality and band performance. As die hard as I am, I find listening to crappy sound recordings painful at times regardless of the band's performance (Plane Sex on The Way To Pittsburgh for example) and was wondering if this board had some inputs as to what the best SOUND quality boots out there were by tour.

For example, in my own opinion Handsome Girls has the best sound recordings of the '78 Tour (though there seem to be several shows that were lifted from soundboards), Brussels Affair is the best sounding show from '73. You could argue Love You Live should have the best sound recording of the '75 tour because it was officially released (the boots I have from 75 are poor audience recordings)...but maybe you have a boot that sounds even better.

So I was wondering by tour...of the boots you have...which ones would you argue are the closest to true officially released soundboard like recordings? Soundboard like what you'd buy in the store...not what some bootlegger claims 'hey it's stereo so it must be soundboard'.

RubyFriday If you consider the time,it�s of course "Liver than you�ll ever be" which is the best.It was a little sensation when it came out,regarding the sound quality of the existing Cream and Dylan boots.
"Rolling again" is another remarkable one(I bought it at the �73 Berlin concert)containg the unpublished covers of�62/�63.
And Instrumentals I +II(Both double albums)both showed the manner of Keith (and also Taylor)working in the studio.Very interesting stuff.

Gazza Best 1999 recording is Wembley 11.6.99 IMO (we treed this on this site a couple of years back)

Its not a soundboard but is easily mistaken for one. In fact,its actually better than most soundboards Ive heard because the recording quality and especially the mix and balance are simply breathtaking...it could pass for a FM recording, its that good. Possibly the best sounding audience recording I've ever heard on any Stones show.
09-15-02 04:54 PM
Moonisup You mean where Keith get's wrong with Gimme shelter and Undercover and moonlight mile as bonus?
title: In between the sheets. If you mean that one is very good, good quality and nice crowd reaction!!
