Isn't this the 2019 ABKCO soundboard release but now mastered a bit hotter and EQ-ed with a bit more treble response?

Special Thanks to our friend Lfader for this version!

This mono version makes the rhythm section very punchy. The recording has been around the block with
pops and beeps that were removed but is still good soundboard quality. About 30 seconds of I'm Free is missing
due to an ancient tape flip, maybe? Deterioration of a digital copy? Hard to say.

Quick notes;

SFTD - MT solo disorganized?
LIV - MT slide guitar out of tune?
PS - Keith out of tune
Satisfaction - Missed cue at 56:45 approximately?!?

Notes from Can’t Give It Away On Seventh Avenue: The Rolling Stones and New York City by Christopher McKittrick.
Excerpted in Ultimate Classic Rock, 2019-11-27. Edited by Flip.

The day after the Baltimore concert was Thanksgiving, and that night was the Stones’ first-ever performance at
Madison Square Garden. While New York is known for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the most
anticipated event in Manhattan that day was the Stones concert. Six thousand people had stood in line at the
Garden box office to buy tickets when they went on sale on November 6, and both evening performances were
sold out (the matinee performance still had “a couple of hundred” empty seats, according to Rolling Stone).
All three Garden shows had the same set list, though the order differed for the first show. Each started with the
same four songs: “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “Carol,” “Sympathy for the Devil” and “Stray Cat Blues.” They also
ended with the same six: “Midnight Rambler,” “Live with Me,” “Little Queenie,” “Satisfaction,” “Honky Tonk
Women” and “Street Fighting Man.” For the middle portion, the Stones played “Love in Vain,” “Prodigal Son,”
“You Gotta Move” and a medley of “Under My Thumb” and “I’m Free.” The Garden shows were recorded for
both a potential live album and by filmmaking brothers Albert and David Maysles for a possible documentary.
In his review of the first show for The New York Times, Mike Jahn praised Jagger, writing that he “snarls and
howls in the finest man-woman blues tradition,” and that the concert was “an enthusiastic reading of some of a fine
group’s finest material.” However, he complained about the layout of the bill. The Stones did not take the stage
until 11PM, three hours after the concert started. Terry Reid opened the show, followed by B.B. King and then Ike
and Tina Turner (the Turners were joined by a very inebriated Janis Joplin at the first show for their set-ending
“Land of a Thousand Dances”). A second report in The Times by Francis X. Clines noted that that the NYPD
wasn’t overly concerned with security because it believed that “the basically middle-class audience had only
holiday entertainment in mind.” The AP report was complimentary to the band in general, but seemed turned off
by Jagger’s antics and remarked, “The biggest hits with the audience were those songs that put down women:
‘Under My Thumb,’ ‘Satisfaction’ and ‘Honky Tonk Women.’ Teenage girls apparently wouldn’t mind being
dominated by Jagger.”
The Garden shows were far more remembered for their musical quality than any onstage scandals. Nine of the 10
tracks on the band’s first live album, Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out!, which was released the following September, came
from these three shows. The original release included “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “Honky Tonk Women” from the
Nov. 27 show; “Carol,” “Stray Cat Blues,” “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Little Queenie ” and “Street Fighting Man”
from the Nov. 28 matinee show; and “Midnight Rambler” and “Live with Me” from the evening show (the tenth
track, “Love in Vain,” was recorded at the Nov. 26 Baltimore concert). Jagger and Richards re-recorded some of
the vocal tracks in London in January and February 1970, though in 2009 the album was re-released with unaltered
bonus tracks, featuring “Under My Thumb” and “I’m Free” from Nov. 27, “Satisfaction” from the Nov. 28 matinee
show, and “Prodigal Son” and “You Gotta Move” from the evening show. An accompanying DVD also included
footage of the Nov. 27 performances of “Prodigal Son,” “You Gotta Move" and “Satisfaction” and Nov. 28
matinee performances of “Under My Thumb” and “I’m Free.”
Jagger’s attire was much noted for a long red scarf that he wore, which one eager New York fan managed to grab,
nearly pulling him off the stage. Jagger also had something of a wardrobe malfunction during one of the Nov. 28
shows, and teased the audience by saying, “I think I’ve busted a button on me trousers and me trousers are going to
fall down. You don’t want me trousers to fall down, do you?” The third show ended with five thousand rose petals
raining from the ceiling to send the Stones off.

I listened to this newer version this morning. The tweaks that were made to it sound a little cleaner to my ears, certainly a little nicer than what has been circulating out there over the last several years. The source material appears to be the Abkco dump from 2019.

Flip DaBoid has done an excellent job improving audio quality through AI. Listen to "Welcome To New York" and "Philly Special."

Thanks

Thanks a lot!

Thanks to all for this

Many Thanks RS.

Thank you for the heads up and the share!

Thank you RobertJohnson and Rank Stranger. The sound is quite an improvement over the muddy sounding, original ABKCO 2019 upload and the slightly better sounding boot CD Some Satanic Tour Vol. 3 [DAC-199, 2020].
