When I saw each of them in the theater...I thought each was a fun,
experience. I had only seen LSTNT and SATM in theaters previously.

I thought, however, that Some Girls was extremely exciting...great sounding and the picture quality a tad under exceptional...(please read that as excellent!)

The songs...crowd...and performance were tops. Maybe it has to do with the fact that as a 14 year old, I got to see this tour at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ...thanks to my cousin who made money parking/stowing the tour buses for the shows...
(he was a super at a nearby apartment building)and got me in when I was visiting him that evening...my folks were furious at him...My first concert...i didn't know what the hell I was doing...and i only recall bits and pieces from that night oh so long ago...

Texas '78 is the more exciting film, better sound, far more exciting performance.
Has the bonus of being one complete show, as opposed to the mixed nights in L&G.
The sound of L&G is fucked up - don't know if that was a mastering problem from the original quad mix or what, but I can see why they didn't release an audio CD with it.

And of course the fact that Mick Taylor always waaaay over-played live. As well as being boring to watch.

Here comes everybody.

Texas 78??? Are you people with just poor taste or tards? SG/Texas is an abysmal album, pretty much Love You Live part 2. The tour was great, yeah yeah, Mick sang in tune, there were inflatables and shit (although still the guitar solos on 78 are just terrible; something might have happened when they returned with Flashpoint, which still sorta sound 'eh' to me, and the tour, where Ronnie and Keith improved - Keith's for sure; his AC 89 concert is fuckin' phenomenal

Fuck you Gazza, Will ya?
