The first two appearances are live performances. Subsequent shows have the prerecorded backing with live vocals.

For the Ed Sullivan show the instruments were always a prerecorded tape and the vocals were live…This is probably the reason the audio from these appearances is not that highly prized by collectors and is the reason they have not been booted to death…..

I just read on a Stones site less than 2 days ago that many of these performances, incl. most of the ones on the Ed Sullivan show, were actually completely mimed, or, in some instances, only the vocals were live while backing instrumental tracks were played. Can anyone confirm or refute? It’ll be appreciated if anyone can – thanks.

Also, does anyone know of any Stones CD’s more recently-released than the Hercules 1-CD’s “Ultimate TV Masters, Vol. 1″ (HC-0005) & “Ed Sullivan by the Quad” (HC-0001) that have upgraded sound quality? Thanks again if anyone could tell.

I wargced this collection last Monday and found myself in high spirits while enjoying this DVD. I am really happy having this so I can easily recommended this over all the past versions. The sound is very clear and videos seems to be cleared up with using the highest modern technology. I can only say that this is a definitive.

I don’t collect DVD’s or video formats, so are there possibly any audio-only CD versions available of these recordings? Also, similarly, are there any audio-only CD’s available of the Stones’ BBC performances in the mid-to-late ’60′s that include ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’? The only few that I’ve been able to find so far cyber-searching the ‘Net appear to be old, probably outdated (inferior in sound quality, etc.), & very likely long-sold-out-&-thus-hard-to-find ones such as TSP’s “Get Satisfaction…If You Want It”. So any efforts to help will be well-appreciated by me – a serious Pink Floyd collector who’s a newbie to Stones boots but has basically all their officially-released studio & live tracks; thanks.

Likewise, any comments on how the quality compares to previously available versions of the ESS footage? i.e. I have this factory pressed European DVD:
The Complete Ed Sullivan Shows (future trading ft 02/03) (New Depression) – runtime is 77:58
