The 1972 versions were more methodical and true to the album version
what? not even close - they didn't even include the music bridge that they only reintroduced in modern times...
The 1972 versions were more methodical and true to the album version but rather truncated and succinct. You forgot to add the last part of my sentence.

from 89 on it was a pretty fun song still but not nearly as interesting musically. On the ABB tour Ron's improved solo on this song was a welcome change.

If I only had the chanche to compile such a CD-set with some IORR-members! It would be easy to pick them (songs as well as members). And it certainly would be great fun to make such a compilation together.

Innsbruck 73 (on that VGP cd that says Berlin Oct.19) there's an amazing interplay between MT and Bobby Keys beats the one on Brusels Affair imo.
I wasn't aware that there was any recording of Innsbruck '73. Berlin, yes, but Innsbruck? Can you provide more information or any verification of why you think it's Innsbruck and not Berlin?
I'm sorry Sssoul. I phrased that wrong. I was going by "Boot Calendar". And I have never heard a Innsbruck 73 recording, I should say.Quote

it's all about who is singing back-up:
72-73 are the best with keith singing back-up, just tremendous.
vegas versions are atrocious, with wretched gospel back-up zzzzzzzzzzzz.

I agree that '72 & '73 are the best with K.R. singing back-up but,the modern way isn't Vegas style,it's closer to how the actual song off of Let it Bleed sounds which is what the majority of the audience probably wants anyway.

<The neutrals and those who like everything of the Stones choose sometimes a MT-version and sometimes a RW-version, or two versions, one with MT and one with RW. Those people would do very well as politicians willing to compromise.>
Or they just like good music from their favourite band

About Innsbruck :
credit should go to Dieter Hoffmann (once again) : in BN #20 p.19 he reviews VGP-140 as saying "the recording date for this nice Cd is not 100% confirmed but for sure it is not Bern but it could be Innsbruck?!".
How does he come to the conclusion?
A) some German language is heard on the tape so it narrows the ID possibilities. Check the "73 tour special" in BN#15 and you'll find three undocumented dates that match the "some German language" clue : the 1st Cologne, Innsbruck and Berlin.
Cologne it's not obviously so it's a tie between Innsbruck and Berlin.
Hoffmann doesn't think it's Berlin and me neither; it doesn't sound like a end-of-tour show (where bands usually crank it up) : the final show of the 73 tour must have been pretty incredible. What's on VGP-140 isn't. It's an OK show not a slaughter à la "Bruxelles Affair" more the kind of a quickie gig you play in a small town...
And the tedious sax solo on YCAGWYW makes me think it's Bobby playing (MT shines on this one though).
And not even a "Good night Berlin!" to close the show?
