Almost exactly 50 years after the event I rediscovered the audience recordings of the Honolulu shows back in 1973 on January 21 and 22. Therese are very informal concerts, with Mick Jagger singing very relaxed. And it is really amazing how he is saving a missed harmonica intro to Sweet Virginia on the first concert. Alomng with the Nicaraguan Benefit Concert it was a great start to a glorious year of live performances!

I love these shows too and still hope the Stones will release the full Nicaragua concert as a vault release. Including the Midnight Rambler encore.

I never listened to Hawaii shows from 73 is sound good or have this show been upgraded?

Sorry I still cant figure out how to post photos here.

I believe these are the shows the relatively unknown ZZ Top opened. Historic!

Listening what they did then I wonder why this band is not liked by anyone on the planet...

(and this is why this kind of opinions make us "fans" )

Seemingly, he chose the wrong harp, noticed it and just played some bluesy things. Great stuff!

This ist the first concert on the evening of Sunday, January 21, 1973

Evening show, Monday, January 22 (the quality is not too good):

There seems to be no recording of the afternoon show on Monday, January 22, on YouTube, but iut seems to have been a rather tired show, someone who was there callred it a 'downer'.

I'd go for a downer from '73 any day

I always liked the recordings of these shows. The versions of It's all over now are unique and they are realy swi ging!

The title written on the Japanese obi is "The man who stole the sun".
This is a reference to the title of a film in 1979.

The story is about a man who steals plutonium and successfully produces an atomic bomb, and threats the government and demands give him the Rolling Stones perform in Japan.

Hey thats good info ..... fanks Tora ....

looks a brilliant Boot. Where did u get it ??

I love these shows. They are so much less frantic then the 1972 tour before it and the Winter tour after it. They're great, laidback shows.
