Speaking of the Stones' 1976 European tour, there is a strong impression of the Paris performance in June, which was the core of the official "LOVE YOU LIVE", but there are rare recordings that convey the early stages of the tour before that. The famous one is the Frankfurt performance on April 29th. This is a live show that is familiar to enthusiasts because an incomplete stereo soundboard recording has been leaked since the LP era. Although the short recording time, which fits on one LP, is a major drawback, the properly separated stereo mix is very easy to listen to, and what's more, you can hear performances with a completely different atmosphere from the later Paris performances. It was a valuable item for enthusiasts. In addition, the advantage of stereo sound board recording is so great that items have been released many times so far. In "MORE THAN WELCOME TO FRANKFURT", which VGP released 20 years ago, the parts that could not be heard on the sound board recording were covered in the audience recording on the same day (the word "coverage" is more appropriate than "adjustment") It has been considered the best title because of the fact that However, it has been pointed out that the hiss is more noticeable in the soundboard part than in the previous parts, and in fact, VGP also included a soundboard part with less hiss as an extra for Detroit's ``HEAR THE WHISTLE BLOWIN''' in 1975. There was a time when I only recorded parts. However, it was unfortunate that the original sound board recording did not include even half of the show, and on top of that, the sound quality of the audience recording part of "MORE THAN ~" was not good enough, and even among enthusiasts it was unexpected. It never became a popular thing. However, recently, a new audience recording that almost completely recorded this day's show appeared, causing a stir among enthusiasts around the world. Apparently, it was a tape that had been lost in a maniac's Stones collection that had been released to a used record store 20 years ago. Even more surprising is that the sound quality of the new sound source that was discovered is very good. Although it is a monaural recording, the sense of distance and clearness of the sound image is wonderful, and it is so warm and easy to listen that you can't believe that you have been asleep until now. Even though “You Gotta Move” was recorded longer than the sound board, it is regrettable that the recording ended at the beginning of the performance, but there are many things that are closed to it. It's a completely different dimension from the audience recording sound source heard on "MORE THAN ~" and past LPs. The first half of the live performance, which I have been accustomed to listening to on the sound board, is really refreshing when I listen to it with this wonderful clear audience recording. On the other hand, when "Honky Tonk Women" started, Charlie's drum sound seemed to start up with a delay, and sound problems such as Mick's microphone trouble during "If You Can't Rock Me" continued to flow into the venue. It's interesting to understand what was going on! Also, since it was only the second day of the tour, the heavy, funky groove typical of 1976 that was later heard at Earl's Court and Paris was lacking throughout the show, and at this point it was more like the sound from the previous year's American tour. It seems like it's retaining its wildness. One of the representative repertoires of this year's tour, such as "Hey Negrita", was a new song, and the performance was surprisingly careful (you could even say it was surprising). The hugely popular "Fool To Cry" had just been released, so there was no audience at all...lol. The appeal of this area is that you can experience a sense of realism that is incomparable to a sound board where the level of cheers is originally low. The Stones' careful playing style that was typical of the early stages of the tour can be seen here and there even after the middle of the live show, which is not heard on the sound board recording, and "Nothing From Nothing", which Billy Preston introduced in place of "That's Life" from the previous year, is slow and careful again. It is a performance, and whether it is trying to try a new arrangement for “Outa Space” that has been played since the previous year, or whether Mick’s mid-air performance is not going well, it is an interesting performance with different break timing. However, Mick is in great condition and his devilish shout at the end of “Midnight Rambler” is overwhelming. And this is the familiar soundboard recording part that was included at the same time when this sound source appeared, but it is recorded at an accurate pitch with natural and low hiss noise. Furthermore, this time, for the first time, a fragment of "You Gotta Move", which was not included in the CD title, was recorded for the first time because the recording ended just before the performance started. This fragment was only heard on Mick's LP "ABSOLUTELY TOO STONED ROLL", which was known to enthusiasts for its Ekiben jacket, but this time, the parts from the same disc were connected, making it the first longest CD item in history. This made the recording possible. In other words, both the audience and the sound board will be released in Frankfurt for the first time in a while in 1976, with sound quality and content suitable for release on CD!
