The review

The Lyon 76 concert has been released at first on a tape with a mistake in its date: Lyon 09-06-76 (sic) that also came out as 2cdr set, then on vinyl as Little Boys Play With Stones (Fan Club M21), on compact as Backstage Limited Live In Lyon (Terrapin 208) with Jumping Jack Flash faded out, Backstage Unlimited (VGP 203), Les Inrockuptibles (Scorpio-Gold Standard LES 828) missing Hey Negrita,  Backstage Limited (DAC 010) coming from a master tape with a complete soundboard, Lyon 1976 (VJ-R 029) and Little Boys Play With Stones  (DAC 093)   with a complete mono audience recording; then came out Europe 76 (SODD 017-018) having the Earls Court concert of the 22nd coupled with Lyon 76 on a 2 cds set). This concert was also part of Tour of Europe ‘76 (WLR 2134) 12 cds & 1 DVD box. Brown Sugar and Jumping Jack Flash appeared on the vinyl box El Mocambo 1977++ (Red Tongue Records 029) and 3 tracks on French Made (Terrapin 206-7. Last year it was reworked as Lyon ’76 (APCD 110) using Backstage Limited (DAC 010) having fixed the azimuth, phase & corrected levels and applying new equalization. This release presents yet the mono soundboard but the audience parts seems to be better starting with the first minute of Honky Tonk Women.

This show hasn’t been mostly celebrated but does feature probably Ron Wood best performance with long solos played in progression without the usual frenzy attitude that characterizes his playing. The sound output is very good and artwork nice as well.
