Collectors Music Reviews

Don’t know about the Civic Center performance, but that Greensboro ’78 show was the *worst* show I’ve ever heard the Stones do.

As most folks can probably guess, both these titles were issued on vinyl way back when…I remember seeing many a copy of Southern Quotations on colored vinyl at record shows in the ’90′s. Don’t know if these are sourced directly from those original releases, but I’ve always understood Greensboro to be of mediocre quality. And if the Exile release of Lakeland ’78 is any indication, it’s one of the worst tapes EVER…bottom five for masochists only!

would one of the worst shows of 1978 include the may 29 show in the netherlands, which, according to the webmaster of one stones bootleg website, was the only show in the entire 70s decade at which the stones played ‘under my thumb’? i’m pretty sure there’s a double cd on either the dac or vgp label which documents that specific show, but i can’t find it anymore, so i would really appreciate it if anybody could relate to what i’m talking about.

The show in the Hague on May 29, was not good (2 of the 3 support acts, Robin Trower and the Meters were very good), but the worst from the 1976 tour? I wonder where you got thst info from.

walterfive, I agree with your general assessment. I’d like to add that there are a handful of ’73, ’75 vintage RS shows recently shared on the internet far more interesting to the collector than these two average shows now on silver…
