It might be true that all shows since Steel Wheels have been professionally recorded. There might have been brilliant shows since then, some of which were already released officially.
But there are so many raw diamonds from the 1960s throughout the 1980s in the vaults - these are the shows I'm really interested in watching. There is no official release from 1970, 1973, neither from 1976, or did I miss it?
Let's go for the good ol´times when Bill Wyman was still rolling ... Did any of you ever listen to Bill's bass plaxing on El Mocambo or Hamption 1981? THAT's the Rolling Stones ...

Would like a pro recording of the best Hawaii 1973 show, and the Nicaraguan Benefit concert. But it doesn’t seem they exist

London 2012 was a mess. Boring and lousy playing. Hope they will never release it!

It’s hard to believe they only recorded the Texas shows and I guess thePhiladelphia showsfrom the1972tour.That tour was the biggest entertainment event of that summer.
i guess we could hope that they at least recorded the rest like pittsburgh and msg
by the way does anyone know if they kept the first generation tape of that show and the other shows they taped like that?
are they in there archive?
Professionally recorded were Philly, Fort Worth, Houston, Pittsburgh and all New York shows.
Mathijs
philly, fort worth, and houston sure
but aren't the others just recorded onto cassette right off the mixing desk?
or do you mean that in addition to those circulating recordings there are unreleased multi-track recordings of these shows?
Pro recorded with the Record Plant Mobile. Washington has always been rumored to be recorded and filmed but I never seen proof.

Is Professional Grade not basically the same thing? To me if it’s professional grade then it’s good enough to be official and the sound should be impeccable.

No, it just means that it's not a so called home made cd-r, or dvd-r, but a professional made cd-r, like a silver disc, but it has nothing to do with the quality of the source and sound. So it can be an awfull audience recording recorded outside the stadium with a freeway between.

True, I wasn't there. But all the videos I watched on DVD/BR or at YT didn't give the impression of good concerts as the Stones were rather lame and played ... partly lousy.

I think the IEM recordings that circulate of those London shows can give the impression that these shows sounded rusty and boring. But that's the case for all IEM recordings at least to me. In the end it's all a matter of taste...I was in London for both shows and I thought they sounded fantastic.

The Nicaraguan benefit concert does exist as audio recording. I own that CD. Compared to the major tours 1972/73, it's a rather poor performance. In particular, Sweet Virginia is terrible ...
I like the laid back vibe to the LA benefit and the Hawaii showsQuote

That night they sounded exactly like they were as a band in early 73 : rusted and under-rehearsed.
Of course I'm happy to have a more than decent aud tape of that night.
Otherwise image the lengthy 300-pages threads here with "dream gig" "look at the setlist!!" "Mick release this one!" comments.

In all honesty MT shines during that gig but the band struggles (by 72-73 standards). Maybe that night he discovered they were a bunch of dead weights and he'd better play with other (more talented?) people?

There hasn't been a word about getting anything this year for the usual Stones Christmas package. El Mocambo might be it. (And believe me I'm grateful).
He didn’t quit because of that but due to drug problems and probably most importantly lack of song writing credits. If he had he gotten credit for co- writing Till the Next Goodbye and Time Waits For No One, he probably would not have quitQuote

...only to discover that more complex music may be artistically satisfying, but doesn't necessarily fill your stomach... Sure, with people like Carla Bley you don't have to explain what a "D Dim 7" chord is, but the resulting music didn't create much stir!
