Show Notes:
This show sat fully uncirculated in a box for almost 15 years. Worst Stones crowd I've ever been a part of, by a wide, wide margin. That said, there is a magical sound to type IV analog tape...and now with all the bells and whistles of modern computer software, you have what you have here today, a fully listenable experience (compared to the shriek-and-clap fest of a bunch of mouth-breathing frat-boys before mastering) with an asshole-albeit-exuberant crowd. Generic stadium set. But it's the Stones...and Sheryl Crow even comes out for "Honky Tonk Women". Couldn't even see her...#curses
He's a midnight rambler. His name is Dennis. Thank him for his kindness and time in regards to taking this slop and making Snacky-Cakes out of it. Just feed me the wrappers.
The vault is still bursting. So who knows what's coming next?
