That post read like a publicity hack's wet dream. I wonder if he works for the Stones. ;)

The 1975 is definitely the more interesting of the two releases. I went to the July 10th and 13th concerts...both were among the longest shows the Stones had ever played. Two hours plus, ending after midnight with "Sympathy for the Devil".

The things I remember most from that tour are the awesome stage design...a glass flower opening up to reveal the band, the inflatable cock, and Billy Preston and Mick Jagger making out.

Oh, and those tribal drummers.

It's a shame not all the songs will be on the vinyl release.

The 1981 I'm less enthused about. It was a mediocre tour, with the Stones frequently being outplayed by the opening bands. The venues were mostly outdoors with terrible sound, Mick was a poncy fuck in a ridiculous football uniform, Keef looked bored to tears, and that boring stage with the giant Jovan perfume banner was dated upon arrival. It looks even more hideous now.

I saw several dates on that tour...L.A., Houston, and Dallas...and ZZ Top and the Prince debacle in L.A. were the only interesting moments from those shows. Oh, and the stabbing in Houston.

I also watched the pay per view broadcast. All I remember from that is Keef bashing someone with his guitar.

I have long had the bootlegs, so I'll probably only get the 1975 release. I do wonder what effect these releases will have on Jimmy Page. Will the Stones recent barrage of live concerts from the vault loosen Jimmy's thinking on putting out more Zeppelin shows, even if they aren't technically perfect?

One can only hope.
