Hello everybody! Has anyone does a list of recommended concerts? You know, based on soundquality and maybe performence? I think that could be very useful to some people (like myself a long time ago).
I think it's hard to find good recordings from 1969-70, but 1971 we got Leeds, and 1972 a couple of recordings (like Ahmet ertegun...) and 1973 (brussel), 1975-76 theres a lot and 1978, 1981 too. What about the outtakes, there's a lot of collections out there, but there's a lot of the same stuff on those records because it is a limited number of outtakes recorded..

But thanks a lot for a friendly and great forum, and for all the posts!

never too old or young to rocknroll!!!!!!

Have a look at www.faqs.org/faqs/music/rollingstones-faq/part2/ That gives you a pretty good idea of what's available and how it sounds. It doesn't have everything (it was missing a few of bootlegman's recent posts from the 1970 tour) but as a general guide it's pretty useful......

Why not search the archives. I know there's been threads asking for people's top 10 bootlegs etc. That might give you some ideas.

here's some recommended shows......
