ok.......there's all I have of Detroit 7/28/75 except for the Billy Preston tracks which I didn't bother to post. If anybody wants them, just ask and I'll post them too. It's a pretty typical '75 show. As far as I know, the rest of the songs from that concert are not available in soundboard quality. If any of these links are wrong, let me know and I'll fix them......

I like all their tours really but my favorites are the pre-Steel Wheels tours. When they came back out for the Steels Wheels tour, the shows were much more structured and the songs were done in a fashion that was meant to reflect the studio versions of their songs more. They started using backup singers, more horns than ever before, tape samples and click tracks and the shows took on a more glitzy Las Vegas-style feel. Not that I don't like those tours. The shows I've heard from the Steel Wheels tour inparticular are great. But all those tours from '89 to the present day are missing that raw, dirty, reckless, indefinable quality that we now realise was so precious to the magic of the Stones live sound. The '75 tour, although it was alot of flash and good old fashioned show biz, had a great raw quality to it. But I'm probably like most fans here, I like all the tours. They're like Stones albums. We have our favorites but we like something about all of them.

The post-89 tours are quite fine - at times excellent, often merely very professional. For any other band they would be considered peak performances. But from what you write it would seem you and I have seen the Stones in earlier tours, and I KNOW for a fact that they were in a completely other league pre-1981. Their shows were often incendiary...and the rawness and sex and danger in the air was incredible. The music was a firestorm...loud, raunchy and barely in control. Other fans can say what they want, but those of us who saw them in the 1970's know the real deal. Seeing the Stones in those days was a religious experience.

Well it's good to hear that such a young fan is so appreciative and knowledgeable. By the time you were born I'd already seen the Stones many times in concert. And I can tell you for certain, the pre-Steel Wheels Stones...no..really the pre-Tattoo You Stones in concert were a maelstorm of raunch, sex, drugs, and incredible music. They embodied everything a Rock Band is supposed to embody...both good and bad...they created the template. Everything and everyone ese where just variations on the theme the Stones created. From 1981 on, they concentrated more on the overall fan-friendly experience. They still had [have] some great concerts...no doubt...but the edge and the menace were gone.

Saw them in 1972 - I was about 13...so memory is very subjective to the fact that I was in total awe just being there [Madison Square Garden]. The atmosphere was so electric that I could hardly stay in my pants...I was 3 feet high and rising...if you know what I mean. The concert was simply transcendent. The people around me all seemed so cool and hip and happening and totally @#$%& up at the same time. I was overwhelmed and just watched the whole spectacle with eyes as big as saucers. I felt like a little kid invited to the greatest party in the world...I knew I didn't belong or fit in, but I was just in awe being there. The music, the show, the crowd...it was all just a blur. Incredible.
