I'm sure there must be soundboard recordings. How about those rarely-discussed, commented upon, 1969 London theatre shows? Other than the set-lists, is much known about them?

At least all three Paris shows were recorded professionally, also the openers Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells were recorded.
The main issue is that the Rolling Stones Mobile only started operating after the tour, so they didn't record all shows themselves.

I was there. Ticket says "Saville Theatre Dress Circle G 16". (Was it still owned by NEMS/Epstein at that stage?).
Main memory is how bl**dy steep the rake of the circle was. Jagger did berate us for not getting up and dancing, but it was so steep you'd have to be roped together like mountaineers to dance safely and not tumble down to your certain death.
There were actually four shows. 2 at the Saville Theatre on 14th December 1969 and 2 at the Lyceum Ballroom on 21st December 1969
It still astonishes me that the first of these shows on 14th December was only 8 days after the Altamont show.
Sudden announcement on the radio on a Sunday evening. Got to box office next morning to get tickets.
56 years ago!

Hopefully they don’t rot away before they are officially released

That's a really important point.
Old reels of magnetic tape do degrade and the only real archival thing to do is to expertly digitise them and have many (geographically separated and physically secured) copies.
Do we have any evidence that The Rolling Stones are doing this?

I read "Friday", not "Florida". Especially being a 1970 tape.

I red Ft Worth 2nd show, and 'Friday'.
Anything is possible of course, but I really doubt they would record the Hamburg 1970 show. We know they recorded all Paris shows, Berlin and Amsterdam pro-shot footage is partially available from the Huntley archives, so a professional soundboard could exist, but that's really it.

if it isn't a tape of the hamburg show why is it dated 14/9/70 on the box what else could it be?

I read it like 14/01/70 which doesn't make sense for a live show.

My notes state I have a bootleg from this tour. I'll have to dig it out of the cabinet when I get home.
