i know it says not in the US but when i go to stonesarchive
it gives me the option to buy.

Can i buy the flacs ??

No, but you can probably find them pretty easily. Especially if you ask nicely. I personally don't notice a difference except for the price tag.

Shhhh...you shouldn't be admitting that, we don't obtain legal stuff illegally do we?

I never thought I was gonna write this, but LA 75 is tons BETTER than Brussels 73! I've listen to LA over and over again today, and it sounds AMAZING!!Up to now I have regarded Europe tour 1973 as the the bible of rock'n roll, but is the tour overrated? Anyone else out there who agrees?

Yes, i agree, Mick T is overrated.

It's really great. If I had to choose between the two I'd probably take Brussels. It is shorter and has a more narrow setlist, but I love it. I LOVE that version of Heartbreaker on Brussels, to me the version on L.A. Friday doesn't even hold a candle. But there's so much to love on L.A. Friday.

Luckily the fictional situation in which we have to choose which one to keep, be it a desert island situation, or whatever, is nowhere in sight. So I'll just listen to them both.

I think each and every track is better from LA, and the vibe is so much better as well. And the sound -really the guitars have never sounded any better than on this tour!

Just got it. Never heard it before at all, unlike Brussels and Hampton.
Digging it so far...

No he isnt. But the 1975 tour is underrated. Ronnie Wood is not underrated but the whole band sounded different in 1975. I love that era but it's really two different bands. Sound is different, attitude different, image different. This is a sleaz and funk era unlike 1973. In 1976 they changed again.

Ehh, yes he is according to me, never liked him or that 72-73 les paul sound.

Okay, 4 songs in... what's with Mick here???
Dropping song lines, off-timed, the most unintelligable I've ever,ever heard him. Coke??

Shwing...we're not worthy!!! This is more of what I was looking for, a show that was not available before other than crappy audience boots.

I still think Brussels blows LA Friday away totally.
And I don't agree that '75 was suddenly a lot of funk and sleaze -- you can hear that direction already by '73.

Brussels has a different kind of emotion. The final SFM is insane in 73.
But I think LA 75 is the best so far. The guitars are SO HOT!

And the Hi Hat. Check out on "That's Life" when Ollie drums. he whacks that Hi Hat so hard.

I perfectly understand all the enthusiasm, especially that of Matthijs, but when one listens more distantly to LA Friday one is not that much impressed.

Sound- and mix-wise LA Friday is better than Brussels. But musically Brussels beats LA Friday easily.

what drugs you all be on?

Sloppy playing. Wood compared to taylor? Please!

No..sorry. While I like having the 75 show, to me it doesn't come close to Brussels.

Sloppy playing.

It's called rock 'n' roll.

I'm digging that I now have two fantastic choices to go to if I want some hardcore rocking Stones. If I'm in a Taylor mood...grab Brussels. If I want some great Ronnie work...grab LA. This is absoloutely cream of the crop good stuff here. You really can't top gold with gold. It's all good to me. Sorry to say but they have their work cut out for them for the next 3 releases. Not sure how to better these first three already.

I've mentioned it before; Charlie was a little "untight" on the Brussel remastered boot. (The sound quality on the original boot hides it well.) On L.A. he is much tighter and because of that, I like this one better. Mick seems to have some troubles with his voice though, but I don't care as the band is rocking and funking hard!

IORRfacepalm

they both have different strong points. Both equally good to me.

Someone mentioned The LA Forum Show is so fast. Some songs are faster like ADTL and If you can't rock me. other songs like IORR , tumbling dice , aint to proud settle into kind of slow groove. It varies. MR From Brussels starts off a lot faster than the LA show.

It's a different sound, a different band, and it's great. But in no way is it better than Brussels.

The LA forum show is probably twice as long, so in that way its a different experience. Some time less is more, depends on what you feel like listening to.

Mick Taylor isn't overrated. But let's shift the conversation here -- Keith Richards is overrated. Ask any non-stones fan who Mick Taylor is and you draw a blank stare. Yet Keith turns up on all those obnoxious "Greatest Guitarists" lists and often in the top 10. It's a joke. He's a fantastic song writer and a competent guitarist (in his prime), his persona probably has more to do with his high ranking than his guitar playing prowess.

Carlos Santana is overrated. Jimmy Page is overrated. Mick Taylor? He sits alongside people like Roy Buchanan as someone who (despite loads of talent) slips through the cracks when it comes to discussing the "all-time greats"

You got that right.

Two different animals.

I like the Brussels set for Keith's rhythm guitar work and Taylor's tone.

L.A. Friday is, to me, raw rock n roll. Jagger's vocals are off. As a friend of mine has always said, typical "mumblin' Mick." The guitar sound is killer. And, yes Ron Wood's playing was really good on this set. Keith's lead work is actually pretty good as well.

uh oh.... next up... ZXleda predict saomeone comes in and says Mick Jagger is overrated.... followed up by more Kieth is over rated..... then some more debate about Ronnie versus Mick Taylor...... and then... and then... more of the same.... sprinkled with more Keith(and his book) bashing probably followed by some comments about Ronnie and booze and Mick and Coke....

I wish I'd gotten a ticket for one of those Forum shows. A friend was at the Sunday show and talked about it for weeks. Now I hear what he was talking about. I prefer live recordings and this one is fantastic.
