It's Get Off My Cloud / Yesterday's Papers live in 1967 in good soundboard quality (what show???), coupled with various scenes with the Stones in the mid-60s. The last scene is awesome, with the group (esp. Brian and Keith) looking better than ever, walking around some studio. I've never seen it before. Anyone has more info on either the music or those pictures?
Well, I just looked up the 1967 gigs and see that they did 15 shows in Europe, and that Get Off My Cloud > yesterday's Papers > Get Off my cloud was a standard part of the set (as was a medley of Goin' Home and Satisfaction!). Shows were in Sweden, West Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Poland, Holland and Greece.
Apparently that video sound was from Paris '67 ... I didn't look carefully enough before I posted. But it has the best sound quality I've ever heard from a '67 show (and I thought I'd heard most of the good '67 shows).
bizarre! a lot of that 1967 studio footage was used in a promo video for Let's Spend the Night Together, and some of it is on the ABKCO site (or anyway it was recently). too bad whoever concocted this youtube clip decided to cobble together such random stuff this way - especially since both the audio and that studio footage are such good quality. it would be great to have them both, but not stuck together for no reason this way.
The real mystery is the soundtrack of Get Off/Yesterday's. Never heard it before in such great quality. Some tracks from the 1967 Paris show were included in a re-broadcast a couple of years ago and are available in the same great quality, but the Get Off/Yesterday's medley was not included - instead, the rebroadcast used Get Off My Cloud from the 1966 Paris show (the version where Mick sang a line from Hang On Sloopy at the start).
So where does this 1967 Get Off/Yesterday's medley in such glorious quality as used in the video come from ? Does it indicate that the complete 1967 Paris show is circulating in such great quality?
NSV member and livin' legend in himself Mr Ove Tingvall was interviewed by undersigned two years ago; at that occasion he said Sweden gigs 1966, 66 as well as 1970 was gorgeous and all... But 1967 sounded pretty awful, as he categorize or analyze them as rusty from not performing for a while. My own comparative materia is too scarve; just quoting or trying to translating out off my memory.
>> Looks like Paris, Olympia - these golden courtains behind the stage gave me the clue. <<
um ... here's a better clue: the backstage and on-stage footage at the start is from from a newsreel that's included in 25x5. the venue is Kingston-upon-Hull; the date is september 21st 1964; the number they're playing is Around & Around.

And Keith does some rare and cool waving on that footage! And Mick is really doing the so-called chicken-dance. It's a great clip...A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss.
That's not Paris Olympia, that's a cinema in Hull! It was from a famous Pathe Newsreel from 1964 (they were playing Around And Around) and it's available in far better almost perfect quality. The second section was filmed by Peter Whitehead in I believe December 1966 and is usually accaompanied by 'Let's Spend The Night Together' but this is just dubbed over the images.
