I haven't listened to these recordings in ages. Didn't think I could get blown away by the "Bitch" anymore. Evening show in Sydney. Oh man oh man!! Is Jagger INSANE or what?

I reckon Bitch never sounded better on the '73 Aussie Tour!

Alot better than the '72 US Tour IMO !!!

The Australian soundboards must be floating around in the stratosphere! I was listening to Sydney 26/7 yesterday, my favourite of the three (the first 20 minutes or so of that show must be the most energetic Stones ever). Keiths solo on Bitch just ripps up the song. And there's that great moment when the guitars return in that unisono break just after the short bass solo. Awesome. And am I the only one who thinks the '73 versions of Rocks Off were great? Great guitar dual between Keith and MT, who's alternating riffs, arpeggios, short leads, Jagger struggling to stay on top, sometimes succeeding but not always - something at stake there... I prefer these shows far above Brussels and maybe even STP '72.
