Title: Hello & a couple of questions
Post by Smokey834 on Jul 9th, 2015 at 1:39pm
First off, thought I'd say hello & introduce myself. I don't make a habit of attending multiple shows each tour but I've still caught a show each tour since '94. I know that pales to most which is part of the reason I'm here. To learn new & exciting things. I live in a little hick town in the southern US south of Charlotte so I've seen the guys from Charlotte to Atlanta to Raleigh/Durham area. Btw, anyone have any good recordings from the Raleigh show? I make a point of having a copy of each show I've attended. And speaking of shows, ran across a copy of a Europe '73 recently. Looks to be Brussels but w/ Heartbreaker included in place of All Down the Line. Put out by WhyArts. Anyone familiar w/ this? Assuming it's from the same recordings but.... Anyway, great to be on board. I keep reading reviews of the Raleigh show slamming the mix & calling it sloppy. I know my sister & I were in 110 & it sounded pretty damned good to us & some friends a few sections over. Also it was far from sloppy. Aside from the beginning of Start Me Up it was like a nice loose show. They jammed out several songs to the 7 minute mark. Even Mick looks to have loosened up a lot & actually started having fun for a change. And Keith's playing on this tour was by far the strongest I'd seen in years. Regardless, great time as always!

Welcome Smokey!!

I thought the mix was off at the very start...mostly Jagger not being mic'd correctly. it kicked in about 1/3 way thru IORR. Lisa was certainly not mic'd right when on the runway during Gimme Shelter...

Again...welcome and see you around the boards

ps...I will be at Charlotte airport trying to get to Buffalo tomorrow!!

Didn't notice Mick but apparently our group were some of the few. And several of us had been to multiple shows otherwise I'd claim excitement. Now I had forgotten Lisa during Gimme Shelter. We did all comment on that. Also the French horn made me cringe. But as for the mix I need to give it a good listen again, especially the first half. And thanks for the welcome.

Welcome to the asylum!

If you check the Raleigh thread, there is a site that has the Raleigh show. It's through a bit torrent, so you'll have to have the necessary programs and whatnot to download the show. It's a decent recording. If you don't do bit torrent, there are other sites that have the show for available download through .zip files.

Thanks Trey! I'll certainly check into it.
