But to whoever it was up there who said it's a great version of Rambler:
In fact it's a rare sighting of a ridiculous Ramblers, due to all the screw-ups.
Even the band cracks up (well, except for Mick T who's acting like he doesn't know these other cats). :E
Must have been me. I love the Marquee Rambler and it's really good. Mark my words and try to refute them when the DVD release, with its outstanding audio quality (assuming all songs are in the same audio quality as this Dead Flowers) is there. All those claiming for years that the Marquee is a lame gig will be proven wrong and I'm already having fun about that.
I have stated Marquee is a lame gig since the first time I saw it in 1983. And as a matter of fact, I will make another statement right here: it's probably the worst gig the Stones have done in their carreer (together with the Beacon theater shows for SAL).
Sure, the video footage looks brilliant now, but now it mainly shows a band in really, really bad shape, and much like a parody. It's very Spinal Tap the way they look -all dressed up ready to deliver a fantastic show, only to find out it's actually only your mum and sister in the audience on the couch.
Then the music. It's awful. They're out of tune for just about all tracks. And it's not only Richards, it's also Wyman who's not tuned properly throughout the gig. I don't know what Taylor and Watts smoked before the gig, but they sure do pretend to be somewhere else than on a stage with a band. This is just a bloody ramshackle band, really on the verge of a breakdown. And Jagger knows it, but he also knows that he can't save it. His stage presence is that of acting to be Mick Jagger the Rockstar, but it looks ridiculous.
Than my biggest gripe: somebody should have slapped Mick Taylor in the face: stop that bloody, useless and pointless noodling!!! It's goddamn awful! Take Dead Flowers: how many times can you play that same pentatonic lick with those dreadful hammer-ons over and over? The double stop country bend is great, but not 34 times in the same song!
Ok. I am relaxed now.
It's a bloody awful gig. That's what I wanted to say.

Is it possible that this set includes both Brussels performances?Quote
kowalski
Never understood why they had to have Brussels on 2 CD's... The show is 79 min. long and could fit easely on one CD.

I'll have to agree with all of this. You will buy it anyway, right, Mathijs?

I wonder what Mick T and Bill stand to earn from this release?

Hey! Lost your (Stones) tongue Luxury? You urged me to come back here and now I'm back you're swallowing your own words. That's not fair.
Or get Wayne Perkins to overdub over Taylor's parts?!Quote
EasterMan
Maybe they can add an audio track to this release without Taylors guitar in the mix for more pleasant listening?

It will be fun to get this show, but the show I'm really looking forward to is the Roundhouse show (5 tracks), as I know that one features the whole band on top form

Sterkte dan Mattijs! Because you'll hear that boring Taylor all over Midnight Rambler and Brown Sugar too. He even plays some lousy licks on I Got The Blues, and of course very bad rhythm guitar on Bitch, Satisfaction, Let It Rock and Live With Me. Don't we all know that he's a pain in the ass as a rhythm guitarist and as a lead guitarist noodles the same patterns over and over again, overplaying of course as well? I wouldn't buy it if I were you. It would make you mad again and ruin your days.

Judging from the audience recording The Roundhouse is a shit hot show, so I am really looking forward to it!

When Matijs is writing like this about a show from the Taylor era it must be very good indeed!

How come in 71 nobody was excited about this? Not the press, not the fans, not the Stones.
It's a real nice flashback to watch now - but no way it's the Stones of 71/72 in excellent form.
Well...I was a fan in '71 and quite honestly we didn't know it exited until the weekend bootleg 'shows/fairs' started up around here in Toronto in the '80's.

In Europe it was sceened in TV in many countries. Others didn't buy it, cause they found it too bad.
We had a fanclub in those years and most fans were disapointed with this show.
For their early 70's standard it just wasn't good.
Another show the Stones themselves didn't talk about much afterwards.
