Very Good Soundboard recording at Palais Des Sports, Paris, France in September 23rd 1970.

Here's the Scorpio release of Paris 1970. Supposed to be a tremendous release, together with "American Exile" according to Scorpio's press report. Paris, September 23rd 1970 is one of the absolute best sounding concerts of the 1970 tour, together with the audience recordings of Essen, Berlin and Cologne. Scorpio did NOT have a new source for this Paris show. Their press report is BS. They reworked the VGP source with sound-software, that's all. Some of hiss and distortion are now gone, but.....that has a price. Feel free to pick your own favourite version of this Paris show, you can decide yourself what version you like the most.

NOTES:

Secrets Travel Fast presents what to date can be considered as the definitive document of the Rolling Stones 1970 European Tour.  Sourced from an upgraded version of the French radio broadcast of the band’s September 23, 1970 Palais des Sport , Paris, performance, and enhanced with appropriate bonus tracks, this release delivers a tremendous Rolling Stones listening experience.  The bands 1970 tour has been reasonably well documented via audience recordings through the years. All well & good, but what Stones fan wouldn’t hope for something a bit more, umm, dynamic?  This crisp & solid soundboard recording delivers precisely that. Certainly the material on offer cannot be faulted; no less than 3(!) Chuck Berry covers serve to define1970?s Continental outing as a return to the bands roots.  After the mayhem of 1969?s US tour the group must have relished the opportunity to traverse Olde Europe, scene of plenty of prior riots, though thankfully fewer fatalities than the previous years ill-starred junket.

Opening in Malmo , Sweden on August 30 the band played the tours only performance of Gimme Shelter.  Why they saw fit to subsequently drop this from the set list remains a somewhat impenetrable mystery.  Thankfully a recording of acceptable quality recently surfaced, 43 years on, and is presented here in best ever, though admittedly not perfect, quality.  Owing to this fact the decision was made to append it to the end of the disc, rather than in it’s original running order, so as to not critically impair the sonic integrity of what is otherwise a reasonably high quality recording.
Also added to this disc was the Malmo performance, in it’s original running order, of You Gotta Move, which unfathomably was not played at the Palais des Sport.  The quality of this acoustic track allows it to somewhat seamlessly integrate into the flow of the show…

For whatever reason the final two songs of the Palais des Sport show were not broadcast, and the known audience recordings from Paris are so diabolical that even the geniuses behind the old Oil Well label might have had cause to pause prior to inflicting them upon their unwitting victims, uh, I mean customers.  In a bid to present a more complete overview of the tour audience recordings  of Honky Tonk Women & Street Fighting Man are sourced from a (West) German show from the tour.  The final tracks are soundboard recordings from the Stones Saville Theatre performance of December 14, 1969, the bands second to last live performance of the 1960?s.  Broadcast by the BBC these tracks reveal a (relative) measure of torpor in the performances, but are valuable none the less as now this release sports no fewer than 4 Chuck Berry covers!!

Presented in a heavy weight glossy tri fold digi pack  sleeve adorned with dozens of photo’s from the 1970 tour Secrets Travel Fast presents as extensive an overview of this somewhat over looked era in the bands history as has surfaced to date.  Until  such time as the band sees fit to release their own document this release can be seen as the essential encapsulation of this crucial transition period in the bands history.
