What's stopping you getting Hampton '81? I'm sure many people here have this (I have a great stereo 2 DVD set, a fantastic concert!).
The Royal Family weren't even there.
No, they just refused to go on some sort of revolving stage at the end of the show, & the media made a big thing out of it (no fuss was made when The Beatles didn't go on it a few years earlier so that they could quickly leave without being swamped by fans...).

thanks for that, at least i can put that to bed.
That's pretty high on my list, too. A soundboard 1970 "Roll Over Beethoven"!
Run of the mill show - it was a weekly Sunday night variety programme, somewhat similar to what the Ed Sullivan show would have been (they actually performed on THAT show a week earlier, when they DID compromise to a family audience by singing Lets Spend Some Time Together). The tradition was that all the acts stand on a revolving stage at the end of the show and wave goodnight to the audience.
The Queen (or some other senior royal) attends the Royal Variety Performance, held at the same venue, around November of each year - which is a different event entirely.
Thanks its all coming back to me now. Got the two formats mixed up.
Where the people in the cheap seats clapped and the rest just rattled their jewellery!
Do you want a copy.><
Now that's just being greedy!!
Although I wouldn't refuse a complete DVD of it, I've always thought (judging by the incomplete videos & the audio) that Knebworth was one of their sloppiest ever shows. I certainly agree with your other choices though!
Dont think any members of the public got into that one, did they? Was always under the impression it was for family & friends.
Apparently, its the one Stones show from the last 35 years or so that WASN'T recorded, under specific instructions by the band themselves.
Aside from something from 1962-63, that would certainly be the holy grail one for me.

What is your RS bootleg "Holy Grail"?

Mine would have to be a DVD of their 1967 'Sunday Night At The London Palladium' appearance, though this dream came a step closer recently when I found some Italian TV footage of the band backstage at this show, with Brian banging out the chords to 'Ruby Tuesday' on a piano, followed by a very laid-back Keith strumming an acoustic guitar. So I still live in hope!

Mine at the moment is Hampton 81.
Talking about the london palladium was it true, that they refused to come out at the end and do the usual bow for the royal family. Or was it just a run of the mill show?

My holy grail would be a double box set like The Satanic Sessions, but for Beggars Banquet.

The Holy Grail must correspondingly be some boot that will most likely never appear. Right now I'd pick a complete show of the 1970 European tour in pristine soundboard quality.

Run of the mill show - it was a weekly Sunday night variety programme, somewhat similar to what the Ed Sullivan show would have been (they actually performed on THAT show a week earlier, when they DID compromise to a family audience by singing Lets Spend Some Time Together). The tradition was that all the acts stand on a revolving stage at the end of the show and wave goodnight to the audience.

Mine would be the Ian Stewart tribute show at the 100 Club in Feb 86. I was just 2 miles up the road in Camden but only heard about it at 9pm - by then far to late to try and get in.
Never heard of it surfacing although the Stones apparently recorded it, according to myth and rumour. All those great r'n'b/blues songs too.

I always go back to Happy Birthday Nicky.
Still, David Hart (the other Powergoat) gave me a cassette of those 1985 sessions, Strictly Memphis, Deep Love, etc, that was a 3rd generation dub from the master. I don't know the hows and whys of it, but he's been around (he's a 60-year old Olympian jet-setter).

I had never really thought about it, but was Ian Stewarts death another factor in the decision not to tour Dirty Work (along with all the other reasons - group conflict/addiction/shitty album!)
Gazza,
was good to meet you at the Tom Waits Edinburgh gig. Utterly sublime performance from the great man - better than St Louis.

Glad you enjoyed it. I did too. Was great to meet you and your missus and run into John Nicholls again. Both Edinburgh shows are up now on dimeadozen I see.
I think the inter-band conflicts and band health issues were the main reasons why they didnt tour behind DW. As Mick later said "the band werent fit enough to cross the Champs Elysees, let alone go on the road"...

I already have most of the existing grails, so a complete SB from 1975 would suffice.
