Boy, when I see video like that (even in the shape that it is in), it makes me angry that A: we may never see a COMPLETE show aka Madison Square Garden '69 on video ever commercially released and B: we may never hear a complete good quality audio of one of those shows released on CD (other than inferior audience boots). Sad, Sad, Sad....

This footage is available since at least the mid-80's (in better quality). The footage includes LQ, Sympathy and Stray Cat.

Yep, that's how I remember that tour looking. Great stuff. The band had the house lights come on toward the end of the show to stir the crowd. You can hear Jagger ask Chip to turn them on on many boots. After LQ the show headed to its finish, Satisfaction, HTW then SFM. Detroit is a notable show. There was Jagger's comment "We didn't really get it on until Detroit." A personal theory of mine is that it was that show that Taylor's Sympathy solo was first scripted in. To my knowledge there is only one previous show that he took a solo on that song. Amazing these days how effective that music was and how effective those guitars were and just how sexy it all was without all the other stuff that later became the Stones' spectacle.

The "Ya-Ya's" performance is one of the great live performances in RnR history.
Hardly live. That album, w/the exception of MR, Carol and LIV is heavily overdubbed.

Not every show is available, but to my knowledge and with only one exception, prior to Detroit, SFTD was strictly a Taylor-rhythm, Keith-lead song. The exception is one of the Oakland shows. I discount that solo because Taylor did not solo before that performance and did not solo immediately after it. There were some equipment problems in Oakland and perhaps Taylor's single solo that night was an impromptu moment.
BTW: I think the 11/8, 2nd show was the band's best SFTD performance without a Taylor solo. It was a great night of playing by Keith. A highly recommended boot.
By Detroit and then to the end of the tour, Taylor's solo was scripted in and the song takes off. You can feel Taylor's playing inspire the band.

You learn something new everyday. Of the pre-Detroit shows, I have Ft. Collins 11/7, both Los Angelos 11/8, both Oakland 11/9, San Diego 11/10, Phoenix 11/11, Dallas 11/13, both Champaign 11/15, and Chicago 11/16. I only recently acquired Phoenix and Dallas and haven't listened to either of them yet. Chicago is a poor recording which I didn't closely listen to, and the recording of the 2nd Champaign show is incomplete and doesn't include "Sympathy". I didn't realize some of these shows didn't have a Taylor guitar solo on "Sympathy".
I agree with you about the Los Angelos show. I was sort of surprized that they sounded that tight so early in the tour. I think it's a better performance than the fabled Oakland shows.
I think the Oakland "Live'r Than You'll Ever Be" show is over rated. It's a good audience recording considering it's from 1969 but the performance is not that great, especially compared to the shows played from 11/24 on through the end of the tour.
