REVIEW:

The Stones stop at San Francisco’s Winterland in 1972 produced 4 concerts and this is the last one, previously released on tape as San Francisco Winterland American Tour 1972 and as cdr on Double Whammy which included the June 6th first show. In 1997 it came out a complete audience recording called Midnight Magic (VGP 188) and then All Juiced Up And Sloppy (Coast2Coast 04) another audience recording with sound quality very good as well. Then in 2011 came out Winterland (Dasuje NJK) and in 2013 Friend Of The Devil (Tarantura TCDRS 30 1-2) that presented a recording with much less hiss and background noise. This concert saw the rare live performance of Loving Cup as well as the encore Honky Tonk Woman both not often played during the 72 US Tour and the former allegedly played live for the last time in 72; the Stones put on a great performance with Taylor in evidence. In 2016 was released Winterland 1972 2nd Night (no label) that had again a nice recording of the event allegedly coming from a lower generation tape with a much clearer sound, a great improvement over the previous releases, actually it is from Love In Vain onwards that the volume was adjusted and the sound improves a lot; there is a tape cut at 4.53 during You Can’t Always Get What You Want. In 2018 was released Live at Winterland 1972 (Exile Rec. 1972 SFCA0608) that offered the whole show in excellent mono on a 2cdr set. This recording is a good one, with no hiss and some bass frequencies that were lacking in the first versions, but, in my opinion, there is nothing that can justify it being called a major upgrade of the existing ones.

As for Charlotte it was rumoured that after that excellent performance the band decided to tape each and every one of their future gigs. It was previously released on tape as Charlotte 72 and as Bring It Back Alive that was used by VGP for its release, them on vinyl as Bring It Back Alive (K&S 003) then with the same title from IMP (1112), as Drippin’ Honey (Concert Series 7672). 4 tracks appear on Rehearsal Sessions 72 Tour (WCR 3690A/B) and on a couple of strangely titled vinyl albums (American Tour in L.A.1972 and Live in Detroit). On cd it came out on Bring It Back Alive (VGP 054), Back To 1972 (Power Stick Prod.901502,) re-released as Going Back To The Roots (DAC 102), Drippin’ Honey (VGP 294), Going Back To 1972 (SODD 054), Going Back To The Roots (Scorpio POW 901502), while Rocks Off is on Very Ancient, Thank You Kindly (Scorpio 30), Bye Bye Johnny and Rip This Joint can be found on Time Trip Vol.3 (Scorpio 15/172/01). Then was released Sweet Charlotte (Exile 2008EXA001) which had a well-known source that came out some years before in the collectors’ market, it seemed the generation was a lower one like the one that has been reworked by SODD (Going Back to 1972) trying to boost up bass frequencies that were a bit lacking on the original tape. This recording from Mayflower presents the well-known recording and personally I didn’t hear any improvement and so, coupled with the title which reminds  the 60s anthem by Scott McKenzie this release is quite redundant.
