Post – 15th July 1982 – BASEL (version 1 = The BlueTurns2Grey Tapes)

THE ROLLING STONES
15th July 1982
BASEL
(FP 170: The BlueTurns2Grey Tapes)

15th July 1982: Basel, Switzerland, St.-Jakob-Stadion
Additional musicians: Ian Stewart (p)/Chuck Leavell (keyb)/Gene Barge (sax)/Bobby Keys (sax)

This project was prompted by the recent circulation of a so-called 'complete' version of this show. I found three versions in circulation.
Source #1: 'Basel '82' is of average quality and is missing three tracks ('Tumbling Dice' and the end of the show).

Source #2: This is the one currently circulating as 'complete'. It was uploaded by Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) several years ago.

Source #3: This comes from BlueTurns2Grey. He had the idea of ripping his old cassettes and sending them to me. This last version is my favorite and is the one you'll find here. There were flaws between 'Just My Imagination' and 'Twenty Flight Rock' and a banter was missing, so I completed it by using Source #2.

Note: Merging sources #2 and #3 turned out to be very interesting and will be posted in the next volume.

A big thanks to the original recorders and to my usual accomplices who shared their version with me and helped me with expertise and advice.

CD1:
01 - intro & Under My Thumb
02 - When The Whip Comes Down
03 - Let’s Spend The Night Together
04 - Shattered
05 - Neighbours
06 - Black Limousine
07 - Just My Imagination
The last 24 seconds are coming from source #2
08 - Twenty Flight Rock
The first 4 seconds are from source #2
09 - Going To A Go-Go
The last 27 seconds are from source #2
10 - Let Me Go
11 - Time Is On My Side
12 - Beast Of Burden
13 - You Can’t Always Get What You Want

CD2:
01 - band introduction
02 - Little T & A
03 - Angie
04 - Tumbling Dice
05 - She’s So Cold
06 - Hang Fire
07 - Miss You
08 - Honky Tonk Women
09 - Brown Sugar
10 - Start Me Up
11 - Jumpin' Jack Flash & encore break
12 - Satisfaction & outro


Here's what I did with the tapes sent by BT2G:
The recording is declicked, slightly amplified, the tracks edited, the channel equilibrated (+10% for the right channel) and the phase adjusted.
The comparison with the intro, which is a pre-recorded track, showed that the recording needed to be accelerated by +3%.


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