if you caught a position far back in the crowd I can understand someone's disappointment.

To defend Stanlove a bit: There can be a huge difference between a professional recording (including edits) and your personal experience of a gig (or two).
The 81/82 sound production was not all that impressive and if you caught a position far back in the crowd I can understand someone's disappointment.

Did you catch them on that tour, Stoneage?
I'm sure there are posters on here that can confirm both the sound quality and the experience from back in the crowd.
Unfortunately, I was too young to catch that tour.

Watch the Buffalo video and see if the crowd is dead.
Maybe someone always eats sour grapes. I dunno.

Not my favorite time period.
They looked unhappy, not together.
In the YCAGWYW video posted above, Jagger is glaring at somebody or something at :45 and 1:01. I remember seeing a lot of that from vids I've seen from these tours.

The crowd was dead in Buffalo. I was there. You can look at the video and see for yourself that a couple of songs in the crowd was already dead.

The direction he's looking in is where the stage monitor mixing station is. He was probably not happy with his levels in front of him. A very common thing that happens.

Back in the day he wouldn't just be glaring, he would be shouting: "Turn up the f'in monitor, are you deaf or something?"
So, yeah. Its a gas gas gas.

One observation about the 81/82 tour: Neither of the Tattoo You songs came out good live. I think they slaughtered SMU for instance.
Uninspiring. Black Limousine might be the exception though. It sounded pretty good.
Agreed. 1981 was their worst tour ever. They just basically butchered their own songs for 2 hours. The crowds were dead and disappointed. Not sure about 1982.

Actually its easy to prove I am correct.
Here is how the tour went. Huge buildup and lots of excitement leading up to the concert. Excitement when the Stones come on and then disappointment that they don't sound good.
I will start posting the videos to back that up and then watch the silly excuses.
BYW Jagger himself admitted that the tour was not that good and 1989 was going to have to be better. There is a reason they change for future tours.
Dead Crowd in Dallas as soon ad the music starts. Its like they are listening to a college lecture after the first minute.

FROM THAT YOU ARE JUDGING THE 81 TOUR?????? ITS NOT EVEN A VIDEO; ITS NOT EVEN A BAD RECORDING - ITS A HORROR RECORDING. I assume you haven't been to any gig personally. Not to one single gig of the 81 tour. How I cant say that? Because I'm just doing something you do: Bad tempered allegations. Bye bye.
