>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*...<
Like DA I have the 26th show in Sydney on the boot, 'Rock And Roll Stew'. I actually have two copies. Keefer, now of The Glimmer Twins Tribute Band, sent me one about ten years back and then DA surprised me with a copy just a couple years ago. Despite that electrical hiss throughout the show it IS a great show to own and that version of Rocks Off is indeed a gem.
A great idea for a project!
Those shows down under were raw and powerful. Bill's Bass is Loud and gives the music a Heavy Rock sound. It is also my understanding that the white powder was flowing freely so that might account for the energetic and speedy versions of the songs. (I cannot confirm the coke rumor. It is simply something I read here years ago on the board.)
