Rolling Stones Charlotte SC This is generally considered to be the best audience recording of the Rolling Stones 1972 US Tour. It's been on numerous bootlegs since shortly after the concert. This is supposedly from the master tape. Lineage given is Aiwa mics->Marantz Superscope cassette recorder->cassette master->CDR1->CDR2->CDR3. I was not not satisfied with that CDR, so I pitch corrected it -1.5%, slightly boosted the bass, and edited and reindexed it. That's what you have here.

The guitars, horns, and vocals are recorded fantastically well. Bass and drums are distant, as usual for 1972. Performance is excellent too.

This originally came from a well know taper and collector, JT, who is now deceased. Supposedly he recorded the show himself but I was able to determine he was about 12 years old at the time. I believe he acquired the master after the event. I also believe he added some analogue noise reduction such as Dolby (on a non-Dolby master) in an effort to reduce the hiss inherent in a 1972 cassette. This muffles the sound in places, which I can't undo. But since I put the effort into it, I'll share it here.
