I recently aquired an audience recording of this great concert. I had several excellent soundboard tracks (supposedly) from this show that appear on "Keep Your Motor Running", which is (supposedly) the never released live album from the '72 Tour. Anyway, from all the information I was able to collect, it seems that it's commonly accepted that "Brown Sugar", "Bitch", "Gimme Shelter", "Tumbling Dice", "Bye Bye Johnny", "Rip This Joint" and "Uptight/Satisfaction" were all from the Philadelphia 7/20/72 show.

The audience recording from this show seems to confirm some songs, but not others. "Bye Bye Johnny", "Rip This Joint", and "Uptight/Satisfaction" all sound like different performances than the songs on "Keep Your Motor Running". I know alot can be done in the editing, overdubbing, and mixing process but I'm starting to wonder if we've been incorrectly labeling these excellent soundboard tracks...


BTW, this is a smoking show. I've been listening to all my '72 shows from Vancouver through New York and I'm down to the last few shows now. Mick Taylor plays both his solos on "Love In Vain" with a slide during this show, whereas he normally played the first with a slide and the second with his fingers on this tour. The first half of this concert is the best performance I've heard from the tour so far.

Is this recording widely circulating? This is the first I've heard of it. Can you upload it? I've heard another Philly '72 audience is circulating also. All I've heard is a truly terrible version of one of the three shows, can't remember which one.

best version of Gimme Shelter, MT ripping it all out

There's a great silver disc boot of it on the SODD label called Philadelphia Special. Well worth seeking out.
