apologies if this is repeating previous threads, but i believe this performance is simply a masterpiece & the best the Stones have ever produced live with any song.

if you have not heard this song from Brussels first show 1973 - DO SO !!

I'm not a big fan of the studio version, but this live version is brilliant, mainly due to Taylor & Preston solos, but moreso with Jagger's brilliant vocals...he actually puts everything into it....you truly believe what he is singing.

the best.

I agree with you, Angie has NEVER been done as well as this live again. The 75/76 tour version was just a disaster and the versions from 89 onward while true to the original have never reached the power that the 73 tour version possessed. IMO

We all Brussels 1973 freaks out here so if someone never heard Angie he me rise

Its an outstanding version for sure but if you fast forward your Brussels CD a little bit you'll soon find what is possibly the greatest live performance of any song in the history of rock 'n' roll.

Clue - it lasts about 13 minutes.

Hmmmm, could it be the only live version of 'Gomper' ever performed which was inexplicably cut from the tape, and not to be heard since?

Amen-brother! And why this 13 minute gem along with the rest of Brussels has never been commercially released makes me scratch my head every time this show is brought up....How much longer do we have to wait? Sad, Sad, Sad.

Why this 13 minute gem along with the rest of Brussels has never been commercially released? Good question!

An official release of such dynamite material probably would lead the general public to comparisons with current Stones and consequently would let remarks about current performances of Midnight Rambler and other stuff like "they nailed it ... tonight they played the best version of ... ever!" appear more ridiculous than they already are.

I doubt the general public would get too worked up making comparisons.

Other great artists dont seem to have any qualms with releasing vintage performances which would also draw similar comparisons to how the songs are performed 30-40 years later. Dylan's Bootleg Series being a prime example.

Plus, if they were that concerned about some inferiority complex about modern day versions, they would surely be more reluctant to put out a live album from EVERY world tour theyve done since 1975.

The 73' Brussells performance I would consider as the best ever by any rock band!

I have a version of Angie from Brussels 73 that lasts 5 minutes. I suppose it's from the second show. Mick's voice is soar. What is the name of the Bootleg with the first Brussels show on it? The MP3 I have calls the second show "Brussels Affair"
Thank you,

I think it's Bedspring Symphony

Thank you slew
Happy new Year!

Yes, it's like a three act play. Mick sounds like he's moaning in agony.
