This is an incomplete soundboard recording of the Rolling Stones at the Oakland Coliseum, November 9, 1969, 2nd show. By coincidence, it's the exact same show which was recorded from the audience by the guys who would go on to start the TMOQ record label. When their record came out, "Liver Than You'll Ever Be," people thought it was a soundboard recording because the quality was so good. Read the provided Rolling Stone Magazine review; they speculated that it must have been recorded "by someone involved in setting up the Stones' own sound system."
They were wrong. "Liver Than" was just a great audience recording for the time. But maybe the reviewer somehow heard about this recording and got his stories mixed up.
This soundboard recording was supposed to be broadcast around 10PM on October 28, 1972; see provided flyer. A friend of mine recorded this off the air. He told me it was actually broadcast early in the morning of October 29, and that people were disappointed because a lot of the other material played was actually from records, not the concerts listed. At one time I had a tape with some spoken words from Bill Graham about how Mick Jagger sounds "younger" but it's not on this version and I've misplaced my old tape.
When I got this recording on CDR back in 2003, it ran too fast. My friend said that's the way they broadcast it. I matched the pitch to my low gen. of the audience recording. The complete lineage is something like this:
SB (1969) -> FM (1972) -> reel (1972) -> CDR (2003) -> PC editing (2003, EAC, Cool Edit Pro) -> CDR (2003, EAC) -> WAV (2011, EAC) -> PC editing (2011, Adobe Audition) -> FLAC
I don't know how my friend transferred from his reel to CDR, but he has good equipment. I've EQ'ed the last four songs a little for 2011 so that they sound more like the first five.
Presented in FLAC 1.2.1. I provided Vinyl Gang's artwork, which is based on a German LP from 1984, the first "release" of this material. This is better than that LP; I haven't heard either of VGP's versions. I have heard CD3 of DAC-116, and it's comparable in quality, but I don't like its noise reduction.
