According to boot-review.com:

The second disc contains the March 6th 1971 Coventry show from their short U.K. tour.
Because the band were moving to the south of France for tax purposes, they held a short, ten day long jaunt around England and Scotland.
This was their first tour of the U.K. since 1966.
Since their autumn 1970 European tour stayed on the continent these were their first concerts in their home country since Hyde Park in July 1969.
The Stones played two shows in the Coventry Theatre that night and there is some confusion about whether or not this is the afternoon or evening show.
A previous release Farewell Tour 1971 (Vinyl Gang VGP 095) lists this as the second show, but Dog N Cat, and most other sources, say this is the first show.
Compared to the Vinyl Gang release, DAC use a cleaner tape and the drums and guitar sound better and in general is louder.
There is more pronounced hiss and slight distortion on the vocals, and the tape is twenty eight seconds longer on Dog N Cat than on Vinyl Gang with the extra time coming in between songs.
The label claim to use a tape closer to the master cassette which may account for the better sound quality.
Although this is an improvement, the sound quality is still only fair and it is a rough listening experience.
This is an essential tape for the collection because it represents one of the most complete set from what is otherwise the worst documented Rolling Stones tour of the post-Beggar’s Banquet era.

The set list is based upon the previous tour of Europe.
“Roll Over Beethoven” was dropped and the acoustic set wasn’t played at every show.
The tape begins as the band launch into “Jumping Jack Flash” and it is apparent right away this will be an aggressive show.
Before the band play “Dead Flowers” Jagger says, “We’re gonna do a few new songs for you tonight because you’re such a hip audience and we know you want to hear them.”
They play an unusually aggressive version of “Stray Cat Blues” which sees Mick spitting out the lyrics, and “Love In Vain” contains a weeping Mick Taylor slide solo.
“Midnight Rambler” is stretched past the ten-minute mark and after the band introduction they play the new song “Bitch.”
It is assumed they debuted this song at the first Newcastle show, so this would be the fourth overall performance of the piece.
As the audience is applauding Jagger says, “thank you, you are too kind. That wasn’t even that good” before dedicating “Honky Tonk Women” to the shy girls in Coventry and encourages them to sing along with the chorus, “you all know it.”
“Satisfaction” is played in the new, unique arrangement that doesn’t go over well the audience.
Jagger introduces “Brown Sugar” as “As Tears Go By” while the band tune their guitar and the concert ends with an intense version of “Street Fighting Man.”
