I'm sure this has been covered before but I couldn't find it in the archives, but is there film in existence specifically of them playing Sympathy from the New York show? I'd be amazed if it wasn't filmed as they were filming for Gimme Shelter on that tour.

"The performance of 'Gimme Shelter' was one of the most powerful things I'd ever heard. At one point the Maysles sent me tapes of the entire Stones performance uncut; it's out of a horror movie."

The Stones, who may or may not have known that Hunter had died, returned after the melee to play eight more songs. According to Matthews, who recorded the performance and still holds the tapes, the band delivered an inspired second set that closed with "Street Fighting Man," a song that might have rung the closing bell on the Woodstock era.

I am convinced the Maysles Bros. have more footage and concert audio in the vaults for several 69 tour shows. If you read this article one of the Brothers mentions filming all 3 MSG shows and continuing on to Boston, Florida and Alabama so maybe they also filmed those shows as well?

Also one of the Gimme Shelter Film Directors, Charlotte Zwerin, mentions getting an uncut copy of the complete Altamont performance to review:Quote

In this article it claims that one of the sound guys at Altamont have the complete SB for that concert.

Three Detroit songs circulated in the VHS era, but seem to have been lost except for LQ.

The three tracks from Detroit where aired on TV on 'Detroit Tube Works', and that's where the tape is coming from. I have yet to see the footage though, as far as I know it hasn't surfaced.
Love in Vain from Gimme SHelter is from Baltimore, but the film images are shot in New York. All other music and images are from MSG, except of course for the Altamont footage.
Do note that all images and music from the GS movie are comibinations of different shows. Sataisfaction for example is from both the first and second 28th show. Maysels has explained this is due to the camera's they used: these had 5 minte film canisters that took 10 minutes to replace when full. This meant that they had to choose which songs to film with the entire crew, and that many songs where filmed incomplete. They also used film video film equipment to shoot the shows, and these are the one-camera footage in lesser quality, for example the Little Queenie outtake and the Prodigal Son and You Gotta Move tracks.
Chances that a complete show in excellent quality exists are very slim. For example, Maysels mentioned that Sympathy and Rambler where too long to be filmed.

Yes, I too am perplexed about this. SFTD from Detroit? Never heard about this, nor have I ever heard about Little Queenie being from Detroit. Always thought that was an outtake from NYC. Does anyone have more information?

LQ in the GYYYO release is from NY.
LQ from Detroit is on a DVD named Stoned Again By the Rockers or something like that.

Rightfully so. I meant: the soundboard tracks are available since the 80's, and I have only seen video footage of LQ, not the other tracks.
