Is there a place to hear that version of SFTD from 75 with Clapton?

To think I thought I knew the Stones better than this. I didn't know Clapton guested in 75 nor did I know Santana did also [youtu.be]
That show was pretty kookie; They had bare-chested hand drummers in huge lines streaming down the aisles for this one;
all that samba percussion and no Chuck to trigger a sample
At the kickoff The big lotus flower blossomed and there they were;
the last time out in '72 there had been no special stage...
...the place was rotten with jet set up front; Bianca was prominent;
almost a little too hip and glam in a way. a LOT of other Big rock stars
were there to see this show too...
I think they sold it out very many days in a row and knocked them all out day by day with no break day in between for a week. consecutive sold out nights.
...the ticket demand was every bit as hysterical as today
tho it was the sonic benefit of an arena to be enjoyed, not stadium; the sound hit you and stuck around...i remember it pretty well; it was very very different
from 3 years previous when I saw them in the same room.
Can never read about the '75 tour w/o thinking about this gem from Bukowski in Creem:
"Jaggernaut: Wild Horse on a Plastic Phallus"
I'm over the moon about Bukowski.
I read him a lot and now that i'm late 60's it's interesting to watch
his career with some perspective as to the changes and forms he messed
around with as the typewriter goes out and the word processor comes in,
and also his maturing perspective; still a sharp-eyed critic, and the way
I see it, an important reporter almost; like a whacked cultural anthropologist.
some of his work stuns me.
ye here know how much we all love the Stones, but that Creem piece
is one of the most searing and some would say, accurate, review in some ways...
he's a good bit older than them and informed by an entirely different era
of jazz and pop and swing....it's a fascinating interview with dozens
of great, funny and true moments.
i didn't review it with your posting today but will again, i love that piece.
something about describing Mick as wearing pajamas with shoe laces tied
around the ankles; i've been laughing over that one for over 40 years.
he thinks bill's the only solid musician in the group; lol, which delights hops.
Yes Of course, i have those shows, but didnt think of em.Quote

I doubt that. They didn't perform it in Albany,N.Y. in 2005. I was there. Strange that they picked that concert to give it a rest considering that they had not performed there since the '60's. Albany can't be the only time it wasn't played. Without looking it up,I think that there have been theater shows / club shows when they didn't play it as well.
Yeah that IS the show mate! Cool thing you were there! Must have been strange hitting the encore, did you think "here's Another Orpheum Theatre in Boston 2003?" ;-) Well Dice is an ever present since it was released, the only show I can Think of where they may not have performed it would be The CFTB shows in Oshawa -79(?). But that wasnae a proper full show anyway. Even the club shows in 1982 both had Dice and yeah, all other shows ever too.
