Wow, very cool. Never seen those clips before and of course anything from '72 is very exciting.

Wicked! They work without an account, at least for me. I didn't expect sound and such (relatively) good picture quality in the vids.

Looks like the pics are all from the video recording. Dang -- maybe there's much more of this film. Someone should ask the uploader where he/she got it from.

Trivia: The Pittsburgh show was, according to the existing soundboard, a bit of a tired performance, at least compared to the shows close before and after (Charlotte, Philly, etc.). I think it was on the way to Pittsburgh they had the groupies on the plane, as filmed for CS Blues (semi-staged).

Cool pics, thanks!

I'm from Pittsburgh, PA. This show was at the Civic Arena, which is facing almost certain demolition, as the Penguins have moved across the street into the new Consol Energy Center. The Stones also played the Civic Arena in '65 & '66 - I'd love to see pics from those shows, or from the '64 Pittsburgh show at long-gone West View Danceland.

No gimmicks. No B-stage. No video monitors. No Stones-cam. No Lisa. No Chuck. No Blondie.

Just the greatest rock & roll band in the world on a good night.

The recording of this show sounds like a muddy soundboard, but it has a unique aspect. There is almost complete separation of the guitars in the left and right channels. It is a textbook recording to clearly hear what the guitar players are doing. For guitar players it is a dream. By adjusting the balance you can be Taylor and play along with Keith or vice versa.

Great videos! Do you have any more?

For some time, it's been known there is an uncirculated video, but from behind:
Pittsburgh Post Gazette
January 21, 2007
Pat Murphy, Hidden Valley, Pennsylvania
...
The second memory occurred on July 22, 1972 when I attended a Rolling Stones concert at the Civic Arena. Having a super 8 mm movie camera in hand, a friend and I managed to work our way behind the stage area where Mick and the Stones were performing. As I filmed rather up close this really exciting performance, my friend began pulling me backwards as two tough looking band security guards approached us with what appeared to be clubs in hand. We were able to return to our seat unscathed and enjoyed the rest of the show from a distance

Next week that those 2 security guards will be fired for letting the super 8 archivest get out of the building.

Many thanks for sharing, this is an amazing find. The video quality is very good and it looks very similar to the Detroit 1969 footage. Too bad it´s only two short clips.

The band really hit its stride and played a lot of fine shows in July of that year.

Go and get Laughing Sam's remaster of this soundboard here:

He has made the best version to date
Very listenable and enjoyable...

Fantastic stuff. How great it would be to have the whole concert or just a few songs.

My hometown. Wish I was alive and old enough to see this show. Better yet, the show at West View Park.

Great to see Keith playing his 1954 Les Paul "Black Beauty" guitar. He used it to play Midnight Rambler during one of the Chicago shows during the 1972 tour.
