Bill WYMAN and Charlie WATTS
Coming together
for A.R.M.S
(Action into Research for Multiple Sclerosis)
Benefit-concerts
(20th September – 9th December 1983)

This series presents the shows in which Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts teamed up in 1983 to support a string of charity concerts (2 in London and 9 in the US). Our original intention was to present the A.R.M.S. shows (see below) but since the players (and the songs played) were almost the same for the charity gala organized for the Prince Of Wales Trust on September 21 we decided to include it in this series.
In 1983, Ronnie Lane’s girlfriend Boo Oldfield contacted Glyn Johns with a view to organizing a concert to help fund Action for Research into Multiple Sclerosis. Johns was already arranging Clapton's Command Performance for Prince Charles so they decided to book the Royal Albert Hall for a further two nights and host a benefit concert. The first ARMS Charity Concerts (and initially planned to be the only) event took place at the Royal Albert Hall on September 20, 1983, with subsequent dates occurring in the United States, with slightly different lineups of musicians.
Thanks to those who recorded and shared their recordings, to BT2G for his suggestions and the available video versions he will add to complement this series and to nzb for his irreplaceable help.

ALL STAR BAND
1st DECember 1983
SAN FRANCISCO I
Benefit-concert for A.R.M.S. (Action For Research Into Multiple Sclerosis).

1st December1983: ALL STAR BAND. San Francisco, California, Cow Palace
Musicians: CW (dr)/BW (bass)/Eric Clapton (gtr, voc)/Jimmy Page (gtr)/Jeff Beck (gtr)/ Kenney Jones (dr)/Andy Fairweather Low (gtr, voc)/Chris Stainton (keyb/bvoc)/Ray Cooper (perc)/ Simon Phillips (dr)/Ronnie Lane (voc on Goodnight Irene)/Ian Stewart (p on Boogie Mama)/Joe Cocker (voc)/Paul Rodgers (voc, gtr)/Fernando Saunders (bass)/ James Hooker (keyb)/Jan Hammer (keyb)

For this show we have 2 sources:
The first one is coming from nzb. It is a lossless audience recording, running too fast but is more complete than source #2.

The second source, coming from JEMS, has a better sound as source #1, but has some dropouts and some parts were edited.

For this project we plan to upload 3 versions (only with lossless material):
- Vol 05a corresponding to the first source
- Vol 05b corresponding to the second source
- Vol 05c is a 'Frankenstein version': the most complete recording as a merge of the 2 circulating versions.

Vol 05a:
Here you will find source #1: it’s now declicked, the channels are equilibrated (+15 to +25% to the right channel), the sound is refocused and its speed corrected (using source #2 as reference: it’s decelerated by -2,8% for the first 16 tracks and -4% for the last 4 tracks). Between the tracks I reworked the transitions so that they start now with the songs and I deleted microgaps.

CD1:
Part I: Eric Clapton-set:
01 - Everybody Oughta Make A Change
faded in
02 - Lay Down Sally (Andy Fairweather Low on guitar)
03 - Wonderful Tonight
04 - Rita Mae
05 - Sad Sad Day/ Have You Ever Loved A Woman/Ramblin’ On My Mind
faded out
06 - Cocaine
faded in

Part II: Joe Cocker-set with Eric Clapton:
07 - Don’t Talk To Me
gap at the end
08 - Watching The River Flow
I deleted a 10 second repetition before the next song
09 - Worried Life Blues
10 - You Are So Beautiful
11 - Feelin’ Alright (BW on bvoc)
12 - Seven Days
short intermission

Part III: Jeff Beck-set (part I):
13 - Star Cycle
14 - The Pump
15 - Definitely Maybe
faded out

CD2:
01 - Blue Wind
faded, initially presented in 2 parts (reconnected at 4’18)
02 - People Get Ready (Andy Fairweather Low on vocals)
03 - Going Down (Andy Fairweather Low on vocals)

Part V: Jimmy Page-set:
04 - Prelude
a gap deleted at 1’18
05 - Who’s To Blame (Paul Rodgers on vocals)
06 - City Sirens (Paul Rodgers on vocals)
07 - Boogie Mama (Paul Rodgers on vocals and guitar, perhaps Stu on piano)
08 - Midnight Moonlight (Paul Rodgers on vocals)
presented in two versions: one with the beginning, the other with the end - they’re now reconnected, but a gap remains at 11’57
09 - Stairway To Heaven (Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck on guitar)

Part VI: Encores - all together:
10 - Layla
11 - With A Little Help From My Friends
a 2 second gap is deleted at 0’22
12 - Goodnight Irene (Ronnie Lane on vocals)

Note:
BW & CW play only on tracks 01-12 of CD1 and on tracks 10-12 of CD2.

As usual all the infos are coming from Nico Zentgraf's Rolling Stones Complete Works Database: [www.nzentgraf.de]

Hi Norbert,
many thanks for all your work.

There is a mistake on both covers:

11 - Seven Days
12 - Feelin' Alright

must be
11 - Feelin' Alright
12 - Seven Days

Oh! thanks Jürgen for pointing out this mistake (I must have used the previous setlist by mistake).
For those who have already downloaded the wrong version here are the corrected covers:

For the others the positions have been corrected in the initial post!
