Wow. That smokes. Wish there were more footage of KR.

Yes, KR was the absolute coolness 1975. Noone has been that cool. Ever. Noone.

This Sympathy is excellent, but the next one of Wild Horses I like even better! I've never heard a version of WH from that tour (unless it's on one of the crappy-sounding boots I have from '75)... I love Ronnie's guitar on it... I think the vid was just labelled 'Rolling Stones' on YouTube, but it was the next one listed in the list to the right.

Pales in comparison to the 1969 versions!!!

But I guess that's a matter of opinion...

Thanks LA for the tip off...over the friggin' top...Stones..
...dancers..The Petal and madness....75 should be called The Roman Orgy Tour...

its from 11 July 1975 and yes its @ LA Forum in Inglewood. I have a DVD of it; a really fun show, with highlights IMO being Wild Horses, Fingerprint File, and Sympathy among others.

Terrfic Sympathy for The Devil there,
not only the version audiovise, but the whole wild atmosphere on stage
hey that's a cool name for the tour Rockman!

Yeah, but Wild Horses is from 1976, the one on youtube you might be thinking of! There are better versions of the song from that tour. And yes, my name is from that show.

Wow! That is incredible! Roman orgy indeed. LOL Jagger leading the conga line. The entire band, including Billy and Ollie is on fire. Bill Wyman carries them all. I am always mysefied why Jagger lost all that natural ease that he carried himself with. He actually moves a whole lot more now, but it is frantic, almost desperate, and rehearsed. Back then his dancing was tops, but what was even better was his not-dancing. He was supercool; as cool as Keith. And Ronnie played some mean guitar.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

They were so wiped out on overindulging on everything. They had lost their simplicity and vision by 1975. That said I would have given alot to have seen one of those LA shows.

Wiped out or not, it really doesn't matter becasue they were just so f*cking good. At that point they were still easily able to keep both ends burning. Top of the game.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

Chelsea, I think some of that dancing and moving stuff is a product of the wireless microphones. Even the guitarists are different on stage. Before you had that mike or amp cord everywhere you went. Kept the band closer and tighter. Now they can go all over regardless. Maybe not a good thing for modern Mick,; he has too much freedom and feels pressure to use it. I do agree with you on that.

I think it's much more practised and routine these days, from what I've seen of footage (didn't catch 'em back then myself...didn't catch anything actually) things changed more from show to show in the 70s, maybe because Mick were influenced by different doses of whatever each night.
The SHeffield show I saw last summer...I got the feeling Mick was much more "loose" than the other 3 shows I saw, quite strange, he did some of those "Let's Spend The Night Together-81"-moves.

This is very true about the cordless situation Landover. Jagger been using the cordless mike since 75/76. But back then he used them by choice. He had one of each. So he only picked up the cordless when he knew that there was going to be travel involved.
But it's the cordless guitars that bothered me more at first. Because now you had Ronnie constantly jogging out on the wing just because he could. So you're right. The type of stage moves completely chnaged. I alwasy loved the band kind of tied to the amps. Not tied, but mindful.

I agree. I think one of the secrets to being a good front man is being able to hold the stage by just standing there, doing nothing or maybe just walking a little bit and making that look cool. It shows that you trust that the audience will still be there with you and it helps you connect with them.

Of course singing is important too!

Roman orgy indeed, the last one. They were all cool and one of the last times Mick owned the stage without too many reharesed moves. Very loose.
