Everyone finished pissing yet?
Most superstar bands don't sound nearly this powerful through a soundboard.
It's a live show in front of a deafening crowd (reportedly at the Forum in LA) - the fact that they begin with Charlie beating out the rhythm, then tune their way into the song, is a good twist if you're open to spontaneity (e.g., Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and oh, a group called the Rolling Stones).
By the time Keith actually starts the riff, his tone and timber are vintage - mean, hard and very tight. Mick's wild vocals probably sounded great to the audience, as did Ronnie and Keith taken together.
Keith's tuning? Close enough for rock n' roll (don't like it? Listen to Lawrence Welk ... and DON'T listen to Keith's brilliant slide playing on numerous tracks of Let It Bleed).

Is there any footage available of the other (or "better") LA shows?

slew -- I appreciate your opinion, but this is my least favorite show of the '75 tour, and it's not a good example of how the band played that year. I will admit that it is fairly representative of Mick's vocal approach, which is less professional than what he delivers now. But, Mick was also more spontaneous and less rigid and emotionally restrained, not to mention the fact that his show was much more entertaining than now --

Hey michel, you like garbage type performances don't you. Like the one of this thread. Actually, it's much worse than 'garbage' - it's total shite.
