It's a great album, one of the most inspired and to the point performances to me.
Funny detail, to me it's still a bootleg. I first heard it in 1975, around that time.
And solo for ADTL.Quote

Only two songs on the official release (MR and BS) are from the original bootleg.

What you heard in 1975 was a collection of songs from Brussels and London.
This release is the other show that day, minus BS and MR which are taken from the show you know so well
Just had to point that out, since many still think the classic bootleg and the official release is the same.

If I remember it well Angie, Heartbreaker, Dancing with MrD and JJF/ SFM were released on that '75 boot as well, because I still could sing along every note Taylor played when the official was released after all these years.. Don't nail me on one or two years. Actually I'm quite sure. I have to look it up on the attic.

I have a feeling most of us still prefer the bootleg version. After all we grew up with it. To be honest this new version hasn't been in my CD Player that much. Actually I've played the re-issue GYYYO more.

The bootleg version sounds better. The drums sound isn't right on the official version. This said, it remains the best release of the bootleg series 6 concerts.

No, it doesn't sound better, but it might give a better listening experience. Those are two different things
If you listen closely to the bootleg, it is actually quite shaky sound-wise (I have most versions of this one, including Europe 73 on vinyl), where guitars drop in and out of channels and audience noise takes over for instruments/overdubbed sax parts enter here and there.
The official versions sounds very good, although it lacks the live feeling of the bootleg a bit. But everything is crisper and clearer, even the drums which have some kind of a plug-in to make them sound more modern.
All imo, of course.
You should seek for this oneQuote

If you have a different bootleg with these songs (I had «Heading For An Overload» back in the day, where a few of these songs were included, if memory serves), I would be very interested to hear All Down The Line without the spliced-in solo from the other show.

I believe there is no way to post it on BST forum due to officially released material.
That applies to me -- I was actually disappointed on the download I purchased (did not buy the cd or vinyl), my bootleg vinyl rip is definitely superior.Quote

The drums on the official version doesn't sound 1973 to my ears and that's why I played it once. I prefer the bootlegversion....

Are you talking about a different audience tape and not the famous Brussels bootleg (Brussels Affair, Bedspring Symphony, Rock Out, Cock Out, Europe 73 etc.)?
A few (not all) of these songs have been available in audience quality, to my knowledge. Angie, Mr. D and Heartbreaker did have similar-sounding solos on most shows, didn't they?

And that's what's the problem here, making the official release only second-best to the bootleg - because the bootlegs simply have better performances of almost all songs.
This whole "Brussels" thing is a myth anyway, because even the best bootleg collections include some tracks from London where the Brussels versions were obviously subpar, out of tune or whatever (that's why the orginal KBFH selection(s) used for the orginal boots included Gimme Shelter from London, for example).

disagree...there's no myth.
From the 1st Brussels show - which the bootleg contains:
Brown Sugar
Tumbling Dice
Dancing with Mr D
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Midnight Rambler
Rip This joint
Angie
JJF
...are all the best performances of the Tour.
TD, MR & Angie are arguably their best EVER performances of those songs.
pretty good show (Brussels #1) !!!!!
Unfortunately the official release has mostly songs from the second show which, IMO, is inferior to the first (legendary) show.
