No, it's different from well known London Sep.9.
Heartbreaker was played at the second Brussels show,wasn't it?
Does that link work from Europe?

The latter. Definitely. I doubt there's the demand for CD/vinyl issues of 5-6 Stones archive concerts a year. Makes no sense, economically, especially in an area where the arse has dropped out of the industry.

Wasn't Jagger saying "this one is called Doo Doop Doo Doo" before Heartbreaker on the bootleg? It strangely disappeared on the new MP3 version.
Will do the same thing in two hours or so!Quote

Yes, just bought and dowloaded flacs, easily, smoothly, very good thumbs up

If I buy the flac version is it easy to burn a high quality CD and get lower quality mp3 versions?
Yeah isn't it funny and typical how, when they finally get to releasing this, they choose a worse performance. But I ain't complaining, I'm very very happy to get some unheard material. The KBFH bootleg is still perfect quality IMHO, I'm happy to keep that one alongside this release.Quote

Friggin hell! On first listen: fantastic! Second listen: Heartbreaker is NOT the London 9/9/73 version, but it does sound one of the London shows to me. Its kind of an enstranging experience to listen to MR in this quality. The single best performance ever done by the Stones, in this quality...I've listened to it for 25 years, tried to cop every guitar lick burried in the mix, and now here it is, bleeding hard right in your ears! And what happened with Jagger's harp? Did they route that through an amp? There's mre distortion, it sounds much rawer now, but also much more modern. All Down The Line starts as the known 2nd show version, but the mistake by Keith (or tech problems?) are missing. Is this two takes edited together?
The second Brussels show is good, but not nearly as good as the first show or the first show and London 9/9/73 combined. The London versions of Gimme Shelter, Happy, Heartbreaker and SFM, and the Brussels version of Angie and especially TD are Stones defining in my opinion, and these are all missing now.
But that's just whining about really the best release since Undercover -the Stones finally, finally have released something UNALTERED from their best years!

It's probably because the one on the common bootleg is from London, while this newly released one is most likely from Brussels 2nd show (previously not circulating in soundboard quality).
