Yes: he'd just got his first set of dentures!

I saw two shows that tour, the first San Antonio show (a trainwreck, but a glorious one) and Dallas (according to my memory, easily as good as the LA shows that followed.). No tapes of either have surfaced, although I keep hearing Freezer taped San Antonio.

Freezer indeed taped San Antonio. Back in the spring, he sent copies of the show, along with his uncirculated Zeppelin recordings (New Orleans '71 and Baton Rouge '77) to certain select people at one of the live music sites he frequents -not Dime- but, in true Freezer fashion, only gave them out with specific instructions not to share or upload them! Nice, huh? He's so f'ing paranoid about the bootleggers getting hold of his recordings that he won't share with the general public (unless it's third rate bands nobody really cares about), just among the people who kiss his ass and hang on his every demented pronouncement about taping or bootlegging...and people wonder why this guy, great taper that he is, is so detested in music trading circles. It's sick.

The one thing that irritates me about this era is the way Jagger slurs & growls his way through songs instead of singing. By 1981 he'd learnt to sing again...

But (having said that) I've always found the L.A. Forum '75 DVD fun, same with Paris '76 (possibly superior musically).

I agree,sleepy

I saw them for my first time in 1975. When I later got a few bootlegs of the tour, I realized just how different they sounded compared to the Mick Taylor era. It was almost like two different bands. Taylor kept Keith on his toes I think.

from what I can tell, this is an understatement!

Hmmm, the band did sound different, but Keith generally played very well during this tour, as did Ronnie.

C'mon, Jesus Murphy, you should own up to your part in those shows NOT spreading, because the threads on two or three other sites (TTD, RO, and the LZ site) prove that you had a hand in aggrivating the situation so badly that the people who now have the material won't offer it up.

Freezer didn't tell anyone not to offer it up, he said they should offer it IF they wanted to.... then you got involved.

YOU, Jesus Murphy, you aggrivated the situation repeatedly.

And queered the deal.

In fact, your interference was noted specifically at TTD, and by Freezer himself.
