This
recording whose title means One Day in Milam 1967 was uploaded in February 2006
from a friend of the son of the taper ,....this has been called the
"best" Stones ´67 audience recording...although it is still far from
being perfect.
Quoting the
son of the taper: <my friend's father used a little tape recorder whose
brand was either Geloso or Philips with ><microphone ('60 years
model)<.
At the
begin of the tape the announcer Silvio Noto says there will be some groups selected
personally by the Stones themselves, and this recording includes 3 songs from
the support acts; it could be a local Italian band called I Moschettieri which
was on the bill according to the taper or it could be The Move which was on the
bill too according to the Stones specialist and writer James Karnbach. Other
sources, including Wikipedia, name Stormy Six. Listening carefully to the first
few tracks, this is what it seems to have happened:
the first
band is a group from Parma named I Moschettieri (track 1, approx 1:35); right
after (track 1, approx 2:05) you can hear someone close to the taper (maybe the
taper himself) clearly saying: they are five guys from Parma, three with red
pants and two with yellow pants. This is a cover of the Who’s Can't Explain, as
already noted, by I Moschettieri, as there seem to be no interruption in the
tape.
At the
beginning of track 3 the taper (?) says: now another group has arrived, one of
them has a red jacket and another a black jacket. At around 0:35 he says: we
have seen a group from Vercelli [a town close to Milano] which seems too
melodic, and the public shows disapproval; they are five and then describes
their clothes, saying one has a woman’s green jacket. There are many cuts in
this track, it is likely that we hear few seconds each of different bands, that
are hard to identify. It seems that track 4 is from a different band than track
2.
Track 4 is
again the taper commenting about the clothes of the players on stage, then says:
who likes can take his jacket off and then he says:... and the 'Strane' start
playing". I have no idea what 'Strane' means (the spelling is Italian), I
have never heard of a band with that name; possibly he misread Stormy Six. Also,
the speaker is a different guy with a marked southern Italian accent. It could
very well be Stormy Six, it sounds quite like them in those years, since they started
as a rnb group.
On track 6
he says: Everybody stands up because the Rolling Stones have arrived, with
quite creepy faces.... From there on, the music starts and it's quite amazing
to be able to listen to it. The Stones set misses the last 2 songs of the
concert. The self made artwork lists The Move ,..so this might be wrong.
According
to a 2009 post this could well be the first show. Unfortunately, it was not
noted down which show that was, so it was thought that probably it was the 2nd
show with The Last Time and Ruby Tuesday both incomplete. Too bad the taper
recorded the support groups, otherwise he would have gad space for the whole
Stones set.
However subsequently
came a reply that specified that the tape came from a guy who went to the show
with his father (he was a "child" in ´67) ,...so that is why it has
been guessed that the recording is more likely from the 1st show. Since
the only commercial release of this concert is Scandinavian Shakedown (VGP 304),
which says it comes from the 2nd show, we can only stress that this is
the only recording that documents any Stones Italian 1967 performance. It is also
reported that a 3 minutes colour private film exists, still unknown if coming
from the 1st or 2nd show.
