Studio quality 9.2 -9.6 - The follow up to the package of earlier tracks, this one offers even more outrageously good alternate takes and unreleased tracks from the 70’s era.

1977 Soundboard 9.0 (various sources) - The goal was to assemble the best and most complete version of this legendary gig. They have done that with this.

Studio Quality 9.6 - Make no mistake, as I once did, that just because this was the Stones entering the era of “disco” and experimentation, it is very much a bona fide Rolling Stones album and these sessions prove that they still jammed old school on every song. It’s an eye opener for me, when I hear the musicianship across a lot of songs I dismissed early on or never properly examined, I have new appreciation for the Emotional Rescue album and that period of the band.

Audience 8.6/8.4 Two tapes that have many similarities with the first disc being favored for being a touch clearer and also because Mick Taylor is not only very clear but also having a fine evening.

Audience 8.8 - A nice surprise this one – I was much more familiar with a tape from a later show during this run, but this one sounds lively and clear as a bell. It has a great live atmosphere which for me is a huge plus, so long as it is not boomy or has too much big hall “verb” and this one has the perfect amount of everything good. Lovely!

Soundboard 9.0 - A classic old board from the fantastic 1976 European tour which has brought us a few amazing live works by this venerable band. Of course, by this time Ronnie is completely ingrained into the sound and style and one finds it hard to be overly critical of him compared to the very different Mick Taylor.

Studio Quality 9.6 - Kind of like having an alternate version of the album, and only slightly less fidelity too. Outstanding. 01 Dancing With Mr. D III - early extended version 02 100 Years Ago II - Nicky Hopkins on piano, Billy Preston on clavinet, Jimmy Miller on percussion; slightly longer differently mixed acetate-version 03 Angie - different mix of album version 04 Silver Train I - Ian Stewart on piano, Jimmy Miller on percussion; early version without harmonica 05 Silver Train II - Ian Stewart on piano, Jimmy Miller on percussion; differently mixed acetate-version 06 Silver Train III - Ian Stewart on piano, Jimmy Miller on percussion; different mix of album version 07 Hide Your Love - Jimmy Miller on bass drum, Bobby Keys on sax, Rebop on congas; differently mixed (more guitar, less piano) acetate-version 08 Winter - Nicky Hopkins on piano, strings arranged by Nicky Harrison; different mix of album version 09 Tops - instrumental 10 Waiting On A Friend I - Nicky Hopkins on piano, Jimmy Miller on percussion; "Waiting On My Friend" version 11 Criss Cross I 12 Criss Cross II - first version with Bobby Keys on sax (in the outro) 13 Criss Cross III - with Bobby Keys on sax from early on 14 Criss Cross IV - edited version II with more (Bobby Keys on) sax and vocal overdubs; used as soundtrack for the Japanese movie Metamorphoses 15 Fast Talking - Nicky Hopkins on piano 16 You Should Have Seen Her Ass -Nicky Hopkins on piano 17 Separately - Nicky Hopkins on piano; Jimmy Miller on percussion; instrumental 18 Wind Call 19 Criss Cross Ia* - basic track, with barely audiable sax -
Soundboard 9.6 - The Stones never sounded as good as they do here, or, well, they actually have but this is damn good! They are playing the entire Sticky Fingers album, something they have never done before. Fonda Theater, Los Angeles, CA. May 20, 2015- Brown Sugar

Soundboard 9.3 & Audience 9.1 - The ’66 show is remarkably clear, they were smart enough to make sure to close mic the instruments! The ’73 show is famous for how good and clear it is for an audience tape. It’s very immersive, a great tape by all accounts. The Rolling Stones International Center Honolulu, Hawaii 7-28-66 Disc 1 1.

Soundboard 9.3 - A solid tape that features wide stereo sound field with the kind of mix that you expect a soundman sitting at the board in the dead center of the hall to make for maximum listening pleasure. It is that kind of mix so your pleasure is guaranteed. The Rolling Stones Sam Houston Coliseum Houston, TX.

Soundboard 8.8 - It’s kind of hard to rate this any higher due to the extreme hotness in the recording levels but it rates as high as it does because it’s unique among board tapes in that Mick Jagger sounds so live and in your face it’s like he’s singing next to you…scary I know. Now, just because this is a “hot” tape doesn’t mean you can’t hear anything, it’s all there but it’s all pretty forcefully delivered. I can’t say in this case it’s entirely a bad thing…’cause it does make for a rather “intimate” encounter with the Stones, especially you know who.

Audience 8.8 - This is a huge stadium and the sound is very atmospheric, you can hear the music swirl above your head giving you an amazing sense of space. It’s actually very cool! I feel like I am there, and I missed this concert so I am so happy to get to experience it. -
Audience 9.2 - The first show of the 2024 tour and it’s a real banger! Great audience tape capturing the feel of the show, but with nice dynamics and the magnificent P.A. of The Stones helps quite a lot in getting such a good capture. The band sounds fantastic, and you literally can hear everything happening up on the stage. The Rolling Stones NRG Stadium HOuston,TX.

Soundboard 9.3 - A very well traveled tape, seeing release as a video, as well as countless boot CD’s. The video was so-so, the audio has always been great. The show itself, not their best, and not their worst. Is it essential? It’s a great sounding ’76 board tape (the closing gig of the tour in Europe) so, my thought is that it should be somewhat necessary in the collection. The Rolling Stones Knebworth Open Air Festival, Knebworth Park, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England August 21th 1976 DISC 1: 01. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction 02. Ain't Too Proud To Beg 03.

Soundboard 9.5 - This is the recent BBC “reissue” broadcast version and it sounds great! There are no additional tracks, but there is an alternate stereo mix of “Let It Rock” so dive into this one it’s awesome.
