Rolling Stones - The Royal Dragon
Vinyl Gang Product 083 (remastered edition) [better quality than the "old VGP-083" titled "An American Affair"]

Original VGP CD -> WAV (EAC) -> FLAC (flacfrontend) -> You

Recording info:
Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
July 22nd 1972

Quality:
VERY GOOD STEREO SOUNDBOARD

Comments:
As of now, this is the best source for Pittsburgh 1972 - taken from a stereo soundboard tape. It's not a low-generation one though....it's somewhat muddy - but still very enjoyable; and the stereo seperation is great.
"Sweet Virginia" is missing (supposedly "incomplete" on the circulating tape) - and "Street Fighting Man" is faded out.
If somebody has a tape better sounding than this VGP release....please consider sharing it.
(VGP added "Sweet Virginia" from Fort Worth 1972 to make "The Royal Dragon" a better listen)

Funny to hear Jagger saying "nice to be back in Pittsburgh; we haven't played here since 1956"

VGP added "Brown Sugar" from Paris 09/23/70 as a bonus track - and it comes in better quality than on any other Paris 1970 releases...so it's a real treat


Enjoy...Erik_snow
