Oh wow - I never had the opportunity to see the Stones with Mick Taylor. First time was 1975 and I was only 12. I can't imagine - just from all the videos I have and live recordings but wow. That 1973 tour are amongst my all time favorite recordings . And you got to meet Keith and Bill Wyman too. . That's incredible - I love hearing personal stories - thanks so much for sharing.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Mick Taylor was also Billy Preston’s guitarist for Preston’s set. He was great too.

@@Larrybabbin1957 yes. And Taylor wore a fake Afro. Great pictures of that.

Thanks so much.

Thanks. Mine's not totally complete though. So congratulations to you for finding this super rare jem.

Thanks so much - Yea - El Mocambo turned out to be everything I could have hoped it would be and more. Such a fun fantastic listen. Some people complained about the mix and sounding so "big", but I love it too. Thanks so much. Best, Alan

It does deserve a wider distribution beyond the super deluxe GHS box. Because as you said it’s fantastic.

Thanks so much Terry - you too have a safe and great weekend.

Thanks so much my "Kraut" friend from Germany - most appreciated, as always.

Thanks as always Tarr. My favorite period as well. Yea got lucky. Thrilled with this purchase. Best Alan

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it.

Thanks so much Glen. I used to have a 3-record bootleg with Who Went To Church, Charlie Watts and his fabulous rolling stones and a 3rd record, which made up the whole LA show - was a fabulous bootleg that was. Yea - that's a classic bootleg album - Best, Alan

Thanks Morten - I've never seen the box in the wild before, and again this was incomplete. It's rare, expensive, and a great find. Thanks.

Oh how cool. Great town - then went to Bayville and got pickles. Nice day. Great store - what a great vibe and they have bits of everything. Really cool - will be heading back on occasion for sure.

Thanks Tom - yea - cool find. Onto the shelves with the other collectables.

Thanks so much - is that from Ward Music in Japan. I've never seen one of their releases physically here in America - but what I've seen online looks incredible. They seem to be the pre-eminent Stones "re-release" label. If I ever make it to Japan, I'll be on the lookout, though probably very expensive. But wow they do beautiful high quality work - that's for sure.

Thanks so much.

Thanks so much. Absolutely. Love El Mocambo so much as well. Fantastic

thanks so much

Thanks - yea - I've covered this many times in the past. I have an older sister - she's four years older. Had amazing taste in music. From the earliest age, I had a thing for music (I started playing the drums very young). I have photos (in one of my videos somewhere) where I'm playing 45's in diapers - literally - no exageration. Anyway, she had great taste, so from a very young age I started collecting records and had great taste, if I say so myself, because of my sister. By the age of 12 I owned a bunch of Stones albums (GHS was the first I bought when it first came out on the day) and knew most of their songs by heart. My sister, bless her, got tickets to see the Stones twice at the Garden in 1975. She took me to one of them with her boyfriend. I knew every song and had the greatest time. I started really going to concerts with my friends in 1977 (I was 14). The '75 tour had the lotus stage - still my favorite of all time. By the age of 14 my record collection already eclipsed my sisters, but we shared the records. I became known even then as a very knowledgable music kid (I read Creem, Circus, Hit Parader, Rolling Stone a bit) and I still have those magazines. In highschool did a music fanzine and I never stopped - so there you go.. Thanks so much for the question - I really appreciate it.

Wow - I didn't know that. There were copies actually given out back in 1973? The shows were from October 1973. I know King Biscuit started in 1973 but not sure when the Brussels show were first broadcasted. The Stones had them mixed professionally with the idea some of the songs would be released as a live album, with the 2nd side made up of covers - that's where Ain't Too Proud To Beg and Drift Away come from - the album was scrapped. Never heard of a previously released Brussels official Stones release, even limited. Very interesting information. Of course, we all grew up with the bootlegs back then - Bedspring Symphony, Nasty Music and many others from the tapes. Interesting. Thanks for the great information - I need to research this.

Thanks for the reply Alan, the year it was released was 2012 and nineteen hundred and seventy three were released to signify the year the show was recorded. Often wondered why none of the lucky owners of the Box have done a utube clips on it however it's great to at least seen your video I have all the other versions you've showed. Brussels Affair can't be topped in my opinion. Wondered have you seen FlipsideSteveCT's review of the Goats Head Soup Box set, it's quite a long and thorough review with twenty minutes of part 3 dedicated to the Brussels show. It talks with great enthusiasm about it and that really warms my heart as I said before it can't be praised enough💎🔥🕺🎸🎸🥁🎷🎹👌

@@donhanlon7121 Thanks so much. Flipside Steve's videos are incredible. I've seen some but not all. I have not seen his GHS videos, but thanks to you I'll check them out. He's incredible, amongst the best Stones videos ever produced. Best, Alan

Yea really just missing the vinyl and poster. Pretty cool though. I’ve never seen one of these so gladly take what I can get from it. Maybe I’ll run into the vinyl at some point and pick it up just for completion purposes.

Thanks - that watch will really stand out - good idea....lol. It's like attached to the "belt like band". Gotta figure that one out. But yea - I like that idea.

That's awesome - many bootleg versions of course Bedspring Symphony, Nasty Music etc. Great to have them though. Funny, but now that I have the imcomplete box, I'm appreciating more having the complete box. I don't have the vinyl from it, and don't need it, but damn I checked out a video and it looks nice...lol. And a poster apparently. Nice.

Thanks Mark - yea - that's the first time ever that I've actually ever seen it (well at least parts of it). The pricing online is all over the place but always expensive - that's for sure.

lol - I gotta get that watch working. It's so big and "ugly". I gotta wear it.

Thanks so much Mike. Glad you've fallen in love with GHS - as you know - truly one of my all time favorite albums - so special to me. Those Uncut Ultimate Music Guides are incredible- in fact I'd go so far as to say they're probably the best "books" on the artists they cover. I have so many and read them cover to cover - I have a backlog of about 6 still to get through. Thanks so much again.

There's a ton of versions of this King Biscuit show on bootlegs. I showed two of mine. Because from radio broadcast that the Stones had mixed for the show - they all sound amazing. Truly amongst the greatest live albums ever in my opinion.

Yea - unfortunately about the only place to find the physical CD copy of it. They really should rectify that and release it as a stand alone. One of the all time great live albums.

It's probably too late in the game to cause a stir, but they should have released it as a physical media - CD, vinyl back when they did that box. It's truly amongst the greatest live recordings ever. Not sure why they kept it digital except as part of the Brussels Box and the Goats Head Soup super deluxe box. Stand alone CD would've worked nice.

No I don’t know that one. But there are so many versions out there. Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I have some Rattlesnake boots and always good.

Yea - cool little store

I already have multiple copies of the CD (and had bootleg vinyl of the show), but yes this box has no vinyl, cd's or poster. But still pretty cool.

Wow you bought both the vinyl and CD boxsets of Goats. And I thought I was a fan...lol. Wow - that is awesome.
