According to collectorsmusicreviews.com:

Audience recording from the show after Cologne, two nights later at the Killesberg in Stuttgart.
This recording first surfaced in 1998 and released on European Tour Stuttgart 1970 (Vinyl Gang VGP 187) with the final song, “Street Fighting Man,” fading out at 2:08.
DAC use the same tape as the older title but with the final song complete for the first time, clocking in at 3:48.

This mono audience recording is distant, distorted and disturbing hovering somewhere between poor to fair.
It does clear up at the show goes on and the action on stage can be appreciated, but it is still a low fidelity listening experience only for the strong of heart (or strong of ear).

Curiously, the poor quality of the tape actually enhances “Midnight Rambler” with a cloudy, inspired insanity that is very effective.
This was The Rolling Stones’ first visit to Stuttgart and the set list is identical to the preceding concert in Cologne.
The playing is very deliberate, slow and bluesy with the height coming with amazing versions of “Stray Cat Blues,” “Love In Vain” and “Dead Flowers.”

Mick does very little chatting in this show and instead lets the music do the talking throughout.
They deliver one of the heaviest versions of “Brown Sugar” on record.
Jagger tries to get the audience to sing along to “Honky Tonk Women” (but doesn’t succeed) and introduces “Street Fighting Man” with an Indian war-cry.
This is a great concert and one that deserves a much better recording.
