I've never listened to it without the video - gonna do that tonight -
Isn’t that something? I fell in love with the audio from this concert (I have several copies on LP and CD) but I have NEVER seen the video. I mean, I have seen a bunch of still photos from the concert (mostly black and white) but that’s it.

Crikey. Are you deliberately avoiding it?
You could either watch pretty much all of the tracks individually on YouTube (I couldn't find a full concert there...), or you could buy the Video?

I was under the impression that pretty much the entire audio score was redone later in the studio. At least the "official" version. I understand it was pretty dire in person and cleaned up considerably for release.

Oh, I always have had a soft spot in my heart for that show (and I would rate STONES IN PARK, with all its omissions, above any footage of any concert since 1989). There is so much problems there for sure - uneven performances, the over-all rustiness, out of tune guitars, Mick's throat problems (langyritis), but damn they still sound powerful and convincing! The attitude, the will power! Young gods! Some songs - such as "I'm Free", "Oh Mercy", "Stray Cat Blues", "Loving Cup", "No Expectations" - sound rough, mean and nasty in their cool, chaotic way (like, say The Velvet Underground does). Even the early versions of "Jumpin' Jack" and "Honky Tonk" have that unique dirtiness and roughness that works for me but that was polished out when they really get their machine oiled later in American Tour (true that about Keith's guitar sound mentioned here). The raw 'hippie' version of "Satisfaction" is among favourites ever (damn that they lost the beginning of it for STONES IN PARK). More than dirty guitars and Mick more bad-ass than ever.
They didn't flash any California smiles then. Like the dude in STONES IN PARK says, they were cool.

I have nothing more to add except amen!

No overdubs of any sort were done.
