Its great stuff. Personally I think the King Biscuit Flower Hour recordings from that tour from Memphis, Lexington, Houston and Detroit make for a better live album (and had it been released officially would be up there with Brussels '73) but its a great companion to a fantastic movie.

Love You Live is my favorite of the 'official' live albums. I like the dirty sound of the band on that one. And it has that rare spark: it sounds like you are listening to a gig, not a gig that went through the hands of a production team. It has been of course, but this team did an outstanding job. You can almost smell the stale beer and cigarette smoke that was in the room at the time.

So as much as I love Ya-Ya's, Love You Live is the one for me.

Yeah, I had taped the Memphis show off the radio at the time and played it until the tape fell apart, and agree with Gazza that that was maybe a better show than Ft. Worth (if memory serves).

Didn't know they broadcast those other gigs on King Biscuit; that was such an exciting summer to be a Stones fan.

Ya Yas, Love You Live, Brussels 73, and Sonic BBQ, Euro' 73. And I do like LA Forum. And what the hell? I'll chuck in Paris(Abbotoirs) '76.

They didn't. As I recall, they broadcast two specials as 'Live from Memphis' and 'Live from Lexington' but the 'Memphis' broadcast featured a couple of songs from Memphis with the rest coming from Houston and Detroit and the 'Lexington' broadcast consisted of songs from Lexington, Detroit and Houston.

The version from the 'Memphis' broadcast (I think its from Detroit although it could be from Houston, I'd need to check) of 'Tumbling Dice' (the one that begins with Mick lamenting that 'Keith has lost his pick') is IMO the greatest ever live performance of that song.

Good info Gazza, cheers.
Back then I had a vinyl boot called 'In Again Out Again'. It was just a white cardboard sleeve with a glued on pic of Woody and Mick; it was an annoyingly clear board-mix and had a drastic audio drop on the last song ("Street Fighting Man"?). I remember "Lies" was on it and was very ragged, with Charlie trying to pull the tempo back a bit and the pristine board mix doing it no favours. I'm sure I bought it in '78 or early '79...

Does this ring any bells with you as to which show it was?

Nice!
I almost made the St. Paul show (that woulda been MY first) but ended up baby-sitting for my bro's buddy as they were going. So I watched the 10 oclock news and the coverage of the show was nuts: National Guard helicopters flying over the Civic Center, heavy police presence as there were apparently a few hundred gate-crashers. Then Wyman fell off the stage and busted his hand (you can see his fingers taped up in the Some Girls Live '78 film).

I made up for missing the tour in November by seeing Springsteen for my first big show. But I digress...

At least according to this website. Of course all lists are shit. But at least this one includes the archive releases. Although they didn't give them much love. But then, when comes to Stones live albums. There is Ya Ya's............and then there is everything else.

How about Atlantic City, 1989? I know it's not strictly speaking a live LP but, it's a diamond of a show.

[b]Back in 2003, Marko did an amazing set of boots(live) which he simply split into the Jones era 2 discs, the Taylor era, 2 discs, and the Wood era 6 discs. As is his wont, he did not give source data. Some of you may also have it. It is very good.[b]

Sorry, been away for a few days.

This was one of the first Stones boot recordings I owned too.

I think the reason for the audio drop in 'Street Fighting Man' is because the roadie who was tapping into the soundboard feed almost got caught and literally had to rip his cassette out of the deck mid-song. I think most of the early releases had the song cut at that point (maybe there was a lesser quality recording of the rest of the song added to make it complete. Audience perhaps? Cant remember).

I'm pretty sure that Gottorollme (RIP) was at this gig too. It may have even been her first Stones show.

I've never seen or heard of any video footage of this gig. You're right about the b&w footage of the shows by Bruce and The Clash from around the same era (the 3 Bruce shows were 19-21 Sep '78)
