Taylor is toying with the original riff and his toggle switch.During the outro a fine melodic approach on the lower strings. I love it.

Philly and Perth are in stereo. Probably others as well.

I need to get Philly. I forgot about Perth because the mix kind of sucks. I think some of the Texas stuff is too. Thanks!

The second part of the show circulated on bootlegs since the days of records. There was a popular boot in which Taylor was prominent and Keith barely audible, then better stereo versions of the second part surfaced. (this is the Mick birthday show obviously, the finale of the 72 tour).
The first part of the show you have was taped by a friend of mine. he was ejected from the garden in the middle of Love in Vain when everyone sat down and his mic was noticed. I have the cassette he gave me, and I traded with a very well known trader who posts here sometimes and from there it has circulated.
Funny story -- the guy actually called the Garden and asked if taping was Ok and was told it was (probably by someone who had a good laugh). When he was nabbed and tried to argue that he was told it was OK, he was told, OK, step through this door and wait here, and he found himself on the street.

This version comprises all I don't like of the late Taylor years. No love in Taylor'e intrusive playing and Keith couldn't give a damn. All the grace of the previous tours gone!

The original Mick's Birthday was apparently a radio broadcast - from All Down The Line to Jumping Jack Flash.
You are correct. There were no radio broadcasts from the 72 tour.Quote

Don't think so. The story I heard is someone stole the tape the Stones were recording for themselves at the soundboard. That got pressed into the TMOQ bootleg Welcome to New York. The tape has never circulated; the LP is the only source.

It sounded much much better in person; but I am so very grateful for this boot.
I've told people about this show many times over the years. It's the best rock and roll show I've ever been to. I am so glad to hear songs from this boot. I am just finding it and starting to get into it...but i was there Good God Almighty it was off the hook, grander than grand. I just found this clip below, it's stunning to my memory and giving me thrills and chills and those full 'shivers' we were talking about another thread....

Rolling Stones/Micks Birthday 1972 Private Film + S. Wonder
This clip was uploaded ten years ago and somehow I never saw it or even heard of it till just now...and i'm full on stunned. because this is part of my life!!
THIS is the very show and scene that drove me crazy and I never got sane...
"Rock critic Robert Christgau reported that the mood of the shows was friendly, with Jagger "undercut[ting] his fabled demonism by playing the clown, the village idiot, the marionette."
You can see how much bloody FUN it was. as well as hear on the boot some of the passion and intensity and virtuosity ....it was intense and incredible. I am so glad to find this; i do not know how I missed itl but it's been in my memory very very clear for 45 years!!!
wow. I am pretty emo seeing this...what a night. Happy Birthday Mick. This was an incredible night of my life. I will forever be grateful for all the guys on stage that night...it was fun, intimate, passionate...laughter and tears. it was incredible. it was for real...Mick turning 29.
i was close; Great seats. not super duper first ten rows close but very close and on the floor in the center and the sound was PERFECT...I hope somewhere, somehow they get a really really great recording of some of this but I am not complaining but what is available; I'm thrilled w it. I did not expect Stevie to come out with Mick for the encore. For both bands to be jamming like that. I did not know about his birthday; the cake fight blew everybodys mind...
so it's not like i'm with the band or had access passes or anything like that; just a fan lucky enough to win the lottery , along with an arena full of people...i had sent in dozens and dozens of post cards. I wanted this bad!!!
Eoms had only been out a few weeks. SF was still in regular play all the time with me and my friends...and now exile.
we were totally totally into it...it was no mystery; it did not take time for it to 'sink in' or for us get thru the famed 'muddy' mix and all that. it was perfect. the vinyl sounded totally great; tons of impact...those days home steroes had bass and treble knobs...it was reaaalll good...it was an instant hit....it did not take a long time for people to dig it; at least not the young people, and i was very young too, that I hung with and knew...nope. it was pure platinum ecstasy and as obviously transcendent and exciting as bleed or sticky or banquet and RIGHT off the bat...then RTJ comes on second????!!! I mean holy hell.,..THATS the way they were live...
...u can see that in L&G filmed less than, or about a month before...(I saw them July 4th in d.c. too...that was my first tour seeing them and I was going to go anywhere within a few hundred miles no problem....not one hestitation...
....tho i lived in ny...so the Garden was easy and quick to get to...
I've heard different reports about the pricings but I can tell you for sure they cost $15.00. If you won the 'lottery' you had to buy 4 tix....no problem with that...you DID NOT get a choice of a particular night or show. they played monday tuesday (twice) and Wednesday was Mick's birthday show. That's just how it worked as a matter of fate and luck...i did not request hey give me this night or this seat....if u got a chance to buy them, wow, you just did and went where they put you. We were incredibly fortuante. I'm incredibly grateful. I've just seen this clip...i've seen stills. maybe even short rough snippets somewhere along the way from this...but never this much of that private filming...dunno who did it or any of that...
for me ladies and gentlemen, dear friends and fans...this was IT. this was thee night thee show thee time....nothing has ever beaten this in all my years as a concert fan before or after. I stand by this 100%. It was incredible. and it was FUN...there was a special feel with the fans and the band...we were all not THAT far from the same general age...it was all just US u know....for me it is on this night the sixties ended....nothing has ever touched this and i've seen most everybody...not everybody of course but MOST all of who I ever wanted to see...only a very few exceptions I did not get to....like Kinks and that's a heartbreaker....but a LOT of classic famous shows...nothing but nothing touched this. stevie was so good; i can't believe ANYBODY followed him! IN D.C. I actually thoght Wonderlove the better band and show! Honestly did!!!
not this night.
zep had a NA tour that same Spring...they were at what Page considers their peak...they were overshadowed by The Stones and not happy about it. They ended up hiring the same PR team afterwards...they were irrelevant to me completely compared to this...i did not even try to get a zep ticket. I'd seen them in '69 and they were super duper but come on...NOBODY could touch this and no one did.
nothing and no one could, or ever would, imo, touch this.
so in a tiny way i got to be a part, along with yes 15 or so other thousand fans...but you know. It was the very first day of Mick's very last year of his twenties...there was cake. It was comical how people were ducking trying to get out of the way...i'm so glad to have stumbled onto this clip today. wow. Thank you Mick, Keith, MickT, Bill, Charlie, Stu, Nicky, Bobby, Jim. I will never forget this to my dying day; it's been 45 years and I swear it's a very very clear memory; my particular friends...a lot of details...it was extraorginary; it was bliss. I've seen prime Zep, Who and etc...times dozens of the greatest of the greats. some many many times.
nothing touched this. for me; this is it.
I was at Woodstock. of course I was! I lived in NY. My grandparents had a place in upstate NY not that far from Bethel. OF course I'd go. There were a half million other people there too. But ten million people claim to have been there...
at least haha...
...so u can believe it or not; because for some fans, like me, this was the Holy Grail...but it was a true gift to get to go. I had hope but not tons of it. I think they got way more requests than they could fill...i don't remember the particulars of that...i DO remember sending in all those post cards, addressing each one by hand but the rest of that process is fuzzy in memory...
it was four shows in three consecutive days...so somewhere close to 65 or 70,000 people DID see them those 3 days...4 shows...and they had to run a lottery for a chance to buy?? wow.
so please, if I am a little seeming too critical about this or that show in other years, or tours, please forgive. THIS is what I had experienced. and it's indelible. It got me thru to deep in my soul and heart. and from the top hair on my head to the bottom of my bootheels. this was it. Bill Wyman, btw, was every bit a part of this show than the other four. every bit. it was mind blowing...i'm still not over it. at this point i don't think I will ever get over it. and hope I do not. It would mean my funeral. and maybe after that. I'd e telling St. Peter all about it. Or the other guy...
hopefully the former. Christgau was right!!! It was not about shtick or 'the devil' stuff. it was fun and somehow intimate and warm and very very intentional and passionate....we were all together on this one; everyone in the bands and everyone in the joint...you could feel it; I don't even think I had a drink. A little canna med at the show sure...and no one was all busting you...the security wasn't all uptight....
....this may have been their very peak...tho I'm still w 'em...everyday I listen...every show that's periscoped I sit there thru the whole thing like a kook, frantically searching for the best scoper...i even watch their not so very good shows...i even watched the private party in Foxboro...so it's not like I'm all past tense w them. but boy this was it. They were having a ball; it was filled with joy. I'm still on the high. And very grateful to BV and you all for this site. Thank you. I might fade out for awhile. i go on and on in these posts sometimes and do not want to take up all this much space...i just get into it and can't stop sometimes. thank u for indulging me...peaceout.
