The review

This release presents the second Stones Bern 73 concert from the 26th of September. There are 2 sources for this concert, one by William Tell, the other by Robert RMB. It was released at first on tape on The Lost Bern Show (SWP 533) copied on cdr on The Lost Bern Show (Stoneware Product SWP 500) featuring just 6 tracks but with wrong date, then in 2011 came out another cdr called Bern 73 2nd Show, soon after followed by Last Dance in Bern 1973 (William Tell 023). After that it was issued in Japan Stranded (Dasuje); another title issued in Japan was Bern 1973 (YT 001). Two years later came Swiss Made Vol. (DAC 129) in mono and Before The Affair (Godfather 845) in stereo, overproduced, soon followed by Bern 1973 2nd Nigh Second Show (No Label) with pitch corrected offered together with a factory pressed cdr called Bern 73 Low Master that was a mix of both sources. Lately Exile Records released a cdr called Dancing, Tumbling, Jumping (EXCDR117301. This is a nice recording, on all previous recordings beginning sounded distorted with the drums barely audible, but here Jagger vocals and Taylor’s guitar are quite clear with mid-range frequencies sounding very nice. Here the intro comes from a different source for 18 seconds, phase correction of sound dropouts applied. Low and middle frequencies have been adjusted, previously some clapping were removed leaving a somehow floating sound; Midnight Rambler was cut and the missing part comes from a different source around 5.24. The sound is very good, an improvement over previous versions, nice artwork too.
