Rolling Stones
The Forum
Inglewood, CA
July 10, 1975
(ED F Master)

Mono Recording Gear: Radio Shack microphone > Unknown Portable Cassette Recorder (likely Panasonic)

EdF recorded all five of the Stones' shows at the The Forum in 1975** and got remarkably consistent results. To be sure he wasn't recording with Millard-quality gear, but his tapes capture the atmosphere of the occasion quite appealingly and offer good, perhaps even very good sound for the era and equipment.

His recorder was an inexpensive portable (believed to be a Panasonic) that Ed recalls ran on six AA batteries, likely giving it long battery life and perhaps even improved performance compared to most cheap decks. He paired the recorder with what he calls a cheap Radio Shack microphone that he would stick to the armrest of his seat with tape. The results have little immediate-vicinity audience noise, relatively up-close sound, and while not as sharp or clear as Millard's efforts, are potent just the same. Ed was also good about his tape flips and didn't miss much of the show".

(Imho this tape sounds a lot better than the one on VGP-302)

[ ** = that gives us hope for having the end of the July 12 in decent quality one day. The version MR that was played that night is stunning]

Apparently Keith had an amp or guitar problem and Mick and Ron filled the void till the band leader could start the intro to the song...

This version of Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) has always been my favourite. It was included on one of the very first bootlegs, that I have seen. Here's a 24 bit lp rip of that song, taken from "Charlie Watts and his fabulous Rolling Stones", Part 2 of a triple lp. IMO excellent audience quality. [we.tl]

Thank you dcba!

Once upon a time, the National Lampoon published an article describing the best death as fighting off Russian tanks from a machine gun nest built in the windows of a corner apartment in Manhattan, with Heartbreaker blaring on the stereo.

Come on, Putin. This is the version for that.

Thanks for the share,I enjoyed listening to that.
I had the TOTA box set on red,white and blue vinyl but it disappeared some 20 years or so ago when my parents moved house.
I'm still pissed off about it now.

Thank you !

When I wrote the above (I am "Letitbleed"), I assumed that the lackluster performance officially released on DVD by Eagle Rock occurred on July 11, as this was always the presumption in fan circles.
However, after going through Ed´s tapes with BK and further analysis, I now strongly believe that what was always believed to be the July 11 is actually July 12. Ed had clearly identified his respective recording as "July 12" and there is no reason to believe that he was wrong. This also means that the source notes for the Eagle Rock release, which also indicate July 12, are actually correct.

This version if Heartbreaker is my favorite version. The atmosphere and the improvisation before Keith starts the song with a powerfull and aggressive guitar is unique!

THX

Real nice. Thanks.
