Re: Question for EDMUND...73 Soundboards

I know this question is for edmund, but the rest of the '73 soundboards are in the vaults.
The reason we have the Brussels and Wembley tracks are because they were mixed and broadcast on the KBFH radio show (same as the "Handsome Girls" material and the "Ride Like the Wind" box set from '81). There are a few more soundboard tracks out there from the '73 European tour but not many and the most complete show is the Brussels 10/17/73 first show which is only missing one song ("@#$%&") in soundboard quality.
There are so many different releases of this material. Some releases feature "Brown Sugar" from Rotterdam, and some feature the Brussels version. Some releases have "Gimme Shelter" and "Happy" from Wembley and some have the Brussels versions.
All in all, here's what is in circulation from the '73 European tour in soundboard quality....
Wembley 9/9/73- "Gimme Shelter", "Happy", "Heartbreaker", "Midnight Rambler", "Street Fighting Man", "Dancing With Mr. D."
Newcastle 9/13/73 1st show- "Brown Sugar", "@#$%&", "Angie".
Rotterdam 10/14/73 1st show- "Brown Sugar".
Brussels 10/17/73 1st show- the complete show except "@#$%&".
Brussels 10/17/73 2nd show- "Gimme Shelter", "Happy", "Tumbling Dice", "@#$%&", "All Down The Line", "Rip This Joint".
.....there are also a couple of tracks ("Brown Sugar" from Munich and "Street Fighting Man" from Frankfurt) that are sourced from film and would be considered by some as soundboard recordings.
And there are several tracks from Essen 10/10/73 and Hamburg 10/2/73 ("Gimme Shelter", "Happy", "Tumbling Dice", "@#$%&", "Angie", "Dancing With Mr. D", "Heartbreaker" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" if memory serves) that are either soundboard recordings or excellent audience recordings. Opinions vary. If they are indeed audience recordings, then they're possibly the best I've ever heard and they could easily pass as soundboards. But anyway, you can find these tracks on such compilations as "The Stars In The Sky, They Never Lie" and "The Jeane Clarke Memorial Sonic Barbeque" among others.
Hope this helps.
