I'm going to make two CDs with Stones bootleg favourites, and give copies to people, to show them which band is the best. The selected versions so far cover two CDs - except for the last 10 minutes. Which versions would you have included in these 10 minutes?

Here are the versions selected so far (perhaps I should remove some of them?) (mostly Taylor period, but that's no shame for the Ronnie/Brian periods - as it's no shame to be dumber than Einstein):

I'd pick a CD with the best track from selected official CDs. Like "Sympathy" from Beggars and RJ from ABB. Then another CD with selected boot stuff.

If I do such a thing..for hardcore fans I rather and better take some more rare stuff!!! Lots of tapes...waiting in the wings!!ok..Sydney 73 wild!!

For Hand Of Fate,I would go with Frankfurt '76.YCAGWYW needs to be on there - either Brussels,Washington,D.C.,or the version from the Unreleased Decca Live Album.

You'll have to start the disc with Don't Lie To Me from Fort Worth. THat'll get 'em squirting!

And Dance Little Sister from El Mocambo

Wild Horses ..Buffalo 75.

I'd take the best of my two favoutite bootleg albums. Brussels Affair 1973 and Perth 1973. Those are the two killer bootlegs. You'll never find better compillations. Actually: here's an idea for the boot-sharks: Release a double CD. Side one: Brussels Affair. Side 2: Perth.

You would be remiss not to include YCAGWYW from Brussels.

Bitch & Rocks Off Perth 73

MR Atlanta 89!!!

Thanks for the tips, I'll check them out. I listened to the Frankfurt version of Hand Of Fate yesterday, and in my view it's second only to the Knebworth version. I urge you all to listen to the Knebworth version again - the sound of Keith's guitar, the rhythm of it (it swings), Mick (his singing suits the guitar playing), and Ronnie (excellent solo guitar). Anyway, thanks!
