to TM: best live version of Rocks Off

So, due to overdosing on Sticky Fingers era material I needed to take a break, and since I am now in "live mode" I have turned my attention to a long-overdue project, which is finishing my personal Perth/Sydney bootleg mix, drawn from the 3 final shows of the '73 Pacific tour. (Which are perth feb. 24th, sydney Feb. 26th, and sydney Feb. 27th.)

Since this post mirrored my thoughts on different live takes, I had to share...that I now have a new favorite live version of Rocks Off, and it comes from the Sydeny Feb. 26th show, which is on Disc 2 of the "Happy Birthday Nicky" bootleg. (It's the one without any noise from Jagger at the start of the song; the shows before and after this feature Jagger yelling a big "yee-haaw!" right before Keith comes in or a fierce "come-on!" right before Charlie comes in.

It's the best version ever simply because of Keith and Charlie. Keith is even more on fire here than he was on Bitch during the final shows of the '72 tour. I know a lot of fans online think this tour was even better, rawer, and more representative of the true Stones than the '73 Europe tour. For this song, anyway, it is quite easy to say that yes, it was*...
