I have a Mighty Diamonds boot of "It's Getting Hot Up Here!" which purports to be from Perth but - with the aid of this post and www.nzentgraf.de - obviously isn't...
I have checked each track and from 1-14 they are different - particularly the Band Intros so i am presuming I have one of the Sydney shows
"So, Cafaro, thanks for giving me the real Perth show to match my digipack!!
However, the last track 15 - Rip This Joint not Let It Rock - definitely fits into the "Sydney show" seamlessly so it looks like it has been tacked onto the end of the Perth show to make up the CD??
Confused?? You will be!!
Anybody know the truth out there?? "
Zagalo - I'm from Perth but unfortunately I was only 3 years old when that show took place at the WACA stadium. My best mate however was there & it was one of his friends (a mixer for his band) who recorded that concert which has been doing the rounds for all these years. The concert is actually incomplete because they also performed Monkey Man & other tracks which escape my memory at this point in time. You will know if you have the Perth show if it includes Mick singing Happy Birthday to Nicky Hopkins. According to my mate, the original artwork included a photo of a concert ticket & the tour poster pic of the car flying into a map of Australia. The boot title was simply called something like Live in Perth 1973. Hope this helps. ps will find out more about the other tracks which were performed but aren't on the recording.

My first ever Stones show...and first date with the (now) wife. God, it's hard to believe it's THAT long ago.
Now, the actual song lists escapes my normally poor memory (I have trubble recalling last year, let alone 30 odd years ago), but I DO recall the show lifted off when they played You Cant Always Get What you Want.
Til then, the audience was a bit 'reserved', from YCAGWYW to the end, awesome responses from the crowd.
My wife (4' 11" tall) had to stand on Coke Cans 'on end' to give her an extra 6" of 'height' in order to see the small stage. We were about 50yds from the stage having camped out overnight at the WACA to get good spot...yeah right! (NO 'floor' seating).

....meant to add that as much as I treasure the memories of the 73 show, and appreciate having some boots of it, they are pretty average boots, even by those day's standards I reckon. You can hear the band's on fire, it's just the recordings were not the best (better than none though!), so I often wonder how it is that so many others rate this show as one of the better Stones boots out there. Am I missing a better recording?
