I have always liked this show. I have a half-dozen copies of it on LP and CD.

Me too! The purity of five members adding to the new sound without any restrictions on the arangements of the songs is as naked the Stones will ever sound. Totally stripped down and exploring new songs and ways to play them. One gets the insight of maybe the most interesting part of the bands history evolving into a form we had never heard before. Next time they played it was much more safe and arranged. This show is unique. As you mention there are many boots, and I remember one I have, which is from a radio program and there is some guy talking over the middel part (jam) on Rambler. He says something like: there are many good takes on this song from '69-73, but none comes close to the Hyde Park version. There are times were the guitars are out of tune and it's maybe not Jaggers best vocals on all the songs, but some of the songs from this concert is absolute amazing! No Expectations, Love in Vain, HTW, Rambler, I'm Free, and Down Home Girl have a special feel that we've never heard since. It's definitely a undrerated show!

And no matter how interesting the Hyde Park version is, it is still a bit sad that it turned to be Taylor's only version with the Stones. So much potential there.

But then there's also Los Angeles 1973

Oh yes, a better rendition, Keith's phrasing is very interesting and musically far above the Hyde Park performance. Mick Taylor is his majesty as usual.
