REVIEW:

This compilation was nice but few things needed to be fixed, so phase and level correction were applied as well as a new equalization. Tracks taken from lossy sources are: Disc One n. 14, 17, Disc Two 5, 7, 8, 10 and 19 (the job was done using spectral recovery iZotope RX 10 on those, to make them sound a bit better). From the original info for this Pink Panther Records Special Edition: in memory of Charlie and now Shirley Watts, Charlie's drumming here is exceptional and clear. Ernie Watts plays sax here with a very good effect since Bobby Keys was unavailable.

This is a compilation of US concerts tracks from September to December 1981, with the best available stereo recording of each song played; the sequence of songs is as per the various concerts but the setlist evolved over this long tour. Incredible sound for 41 years old live recordings, all songs have been individually equalized to get consistent volume, avoiding all official releases. Here there is an absolutely epic ten minutes version of You Can't Always Get What You Want from Pontiac, while the worst song is probably Shattered; the best unexpected songs: Tops, Down The Road Apiece and Mona; it is hard to trace the origins of these tracks - almost certainly many soundboards recorded by Bill Graham surfaced through Wolfgang's Vault; the exception is Tempe which was a Rolling Stones Records soundboard mix which surfaced with the Art Collins tapes. This is a very nice compilation with just one drawback, both discs are over 80 minutes, so in order to burn them you must get rid of something not essential.

 


The best toys are the ones that are both educational and multi-purposeful.
