"What I saw in the Maysles film and heard on the 69 boots and Ya-Ya's was the sexiest, most dangerous, most badass, most rebellious thing I'd ever come across"

Oh yeah, I thought it was just ME !

Great stuff, hopkins!
This is a way cool history lesson because it sounds fresh. It reads like you saw the show LAST night. Keeping the Stones alive!

Hopkins, that's some best stuff I ever seen in this site! You are a treasure!!!

Also a great privilege to read LBA72's slightly different impressions from the times. Interesting changes had happened in both seeing The Stones and what they were like between 1969 and 1972.

I am all ears!

Doxa you are way too kind; I am an asterisk here, if that; you are an encylopedia and courageous and funny and knowing. I love your posts! It's a big draw for me to this site. ty.

Hopkins, thank you. Really interesting posts.

The original Mick's Birthday was apparently a radio broadcast - from All Down The Line to Jumping Jack Flash.

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.

I thought the story was that a Stones associate sold the tape, of part of the show which was meant for the proposed 72 tour live album that never got released, to a collector backstage at one of the shows.

I have the Rattlesnake 72 touring party box set and it has the complete show with the first half being a mediocre audience recording and the second half the multitrack mix from the above mentioned tape. Sure sounds more like a multitrack recording than the average SB tape to me at least.
