Audience 8.5 - Should be a higher rating but for the mastering where the mids are so hot. Put this through your Equalizer and bring the mid band down a little bit and you have a very strong recording. The highs are insane, not screechy just detailed, and the low is present, so just fiddle with the mids because it’s just too hot there. -
Audience 8.7 - Easily one of the best recordings of the 1970 Euro tour. Mick and Keith really project, the sound is forceful, and even though you do get the rest of the band (and yes, Mick Taylor for sure), they are playing second fiddle to the Glimmer Twins.

Audience 8.2 - From tape source not LP, this recording has some tape hiss present, but it’s not overwhelming the music. Music sometimes seems a little muddy but then clears up a little then returns to a little muddy. It’s not bad though, it’s much better than most of the multi gen STP tour audience tapes out there.

Studio Quality 9.7 - Overall the quality is superb, a couple of songs maybe just a couple notches down but none here that is less than excellent. Obviously these versions are not what was on the album but some are pretty close, just some different mixes, maybe alternate guitar workouts and maybe Mick is trying some different vocalizations but it’s still another angle on a great album. Why do all these “modern” era Stones albums seem to age very well. Because they were and are good, fact!

Audience 7.9-8.3 - A tape that starts rough and ends rough but in the middle it is actually not bad. This is a taper that made this an event, the evening was captured with a genuine excitement which is epitomized by the introduction to the show by taper. I love that stuff. I like this tape because I understand now – it transcends the necessity for perfection because it happened in real time for the people who made this tape and there’s a twinkle of magic because you suddenly, for a split second, become them during the show. I can’t really explain it, but something happened while listening that made me understand what I was listening to beyond a rating. Make sense? THE ROLLING STONES Boston Garden Boston MA.

Audience 8.8 - Back in the cassette tape trading days, many tapes would be passed around containing the Mick Taylor period and those were the ones I most gravitated towards. A lot of those shows I have never listened to again since the cassette days for fear they would still sound so weak…but this one has blown me away, literally. It is not the old multi-gen, hissy and muddy clusterphuck like so many of those audience recordings were, this one is really pretty friggin’ good. Not perfect, but VERY damn good.

Audience 8.7 - This recording sounds like what I always imagined a Stones concert from 1975 would sound like…raw, dirty, and dangerous. How can anyone not like this kind of stuff? It’s just the coolest, really, sitting here and reliving these times. The Stones captured the times in their sound, and their energy is so damn cool, so funky, bluesy, the Stones are rock and roll.

Audience 8.0 – 8.5 This is one of those “right in the thick of it” tapes. Immersed into the crowd, you become part of the experience of the concert along with the tapers themselves. Is that good or bad? In this case it starts off a little shaky and gets better, and better, as the show progresses until at the end you realize you had a great time.

Miami 2019 Audience 8.8 - Tremendous atmosphere while retaining good and clear sound. It’s understandable being that the band plays enormous stadiums that you may have problems getting a solid capture, but provided that you aren’t in the nose bleeds, and your gear is decent, you can really get something worthwhile on tape with PA systems being so good. This is one such job. Charlie’s last gig with The Stones, and thankfully a good capture of the event. St. Louis 2021 Audience 9.2 - This one is right in the pocket! Solid low end, with some genuine gut punching drums and bass without being boomy at all. Vocals, nicely positioned in the mix, and both guitars are clear. Really I have to say this is a joy to listen to and doesn’t have to be a soundboard to qualify. This is the first appearance of Steve Jordan as official replacement of the departed Chawlee Watts.

Audience 8.7 - This is definitely the best sounding version of this show. Not bad either – typical of the time period but tapers managed to capture the entire show in pretty good quality. You can easily forgive some of the minor flaws because that is what they are…minor. A keeper!

Audience 9.0 - I have rated this highly because it transcends the boring sameness of most modern aud recordings and sounds more like a 70’s boot! I can’t explain it really. It’s just, to me, the Stones should always sound like the Cleveland 1978 bootleg LP which really sort of sums up the Stones for me. -
Soundboard 9.2 - What I like most about this board tape is that it emphasizes Bill Wyman, and I mean where you can hear individual notes that he is playing, while also laying down a strong, sonically speaking, low end (so it’s not just bass notes being plucked out). This is a new, and good way to listen to another ’81 Tour board tape without being bored…’cause we all know the set list didn’t change at all.

Audience 7.9/Soundboard 8.8 - A rough and tumble recording for a rough and tumble show. Quite frankly, it’s a perfect match, but obviously when the soundboard portions kick in it is a relief to the ears. The audience tape is one of the better sounding ones of the tour – we’ve all heard the dismal sounding ones and this is by far better. The video footage gives you more appreciation for the tapers efforts, because it just looks like it would have been a miracle to have produced anything remarkable in that venue.

Audience 8.6 - A kind of bumpy ride at times, being immersed in the middle of a rowdy audience, but the music comes through surprisingly well for such a massive cataclysm it must have been! It’s kind of fun, it’s a time capsule, and as long as I can hear the music in a clear way, even if it is not “hi-fi”, it’s fine by me. This is a low gen tape and clear enough for its purpose, but yeah, you are in the middle of the action quite literally. ROLLING STONES Cobo Arena Detroit MI.

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!

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.

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.
