Description
Vinyl: VG++ Play Tested. Sounds Great! Labels are Clean. This is the Original 1975 Pressing. On this super rare Triple Live Import, we hear The Stones pulling off classic versions from Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, Goat's Head Soup and It's Only Rock 'N Roll! There are rare, occasional spots where this live recording gets muffled or/and gets spotty fidelity...like the imperfections in leather: proof of its authenticity! :)
Cover: VG+ (see photos; I only took pics of one out of the three records--they all look great! The box set has the list of songs and graphic taped on...it could've come this way originally--I don't know. There is some yellowing on the box and the corners are split but it's in pretty good shape considering it's 40 years old!)
Goldmine Standards. See Review Below!

History
This was the Stones' first tour with new guitarist Ronnie Wood, after Mick Taylor had left the band. (A 14 April announcement merely said he would be playing on the tour; he was not officially named a Rolling Stone until 19 December 1975). Long time sidemen Bobby Keys and Jim Price on brass were not featured on this tour, being replaced by Billy Preston on keyboards and Ollie E. Brown on percussion. Bobby Keys made a guest appearance on "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Brown Sugar" at the Los Angeles shows.
The Tour of the Americas '75 was not tied to support of any newly released material, as it began more than seven months after the release of their last studio album at the time, It's Only Rock'n Roll; therefore the compilation album Made in the Shade was released to capitalise on the tour's publicity.
The announcement of the tour became famous in itself. On 1 May, reporters were gathered inside the 5th Avenue Hotel on 5th and 9th Street to attend a press conference where the Stones were scheduled to appear. But the Stones never went into the hotel. The handful of curiosity seekers standing outside the hotel - who'd heard a rumor of the press conference and who were hoping to catch a glimpse of the Stones entering the hotel - were instead treated to the sight of a flatbed truck rolling down 5th Avenue carrying the Stones, their instruments and a wall of amps. The truck stopped in front of the hotel entrance and the band played an extended version of "Brown Sugar".[1] Charlie Watts had suggested this adaptation of a promotional gimmick often used by New Orleans jazz musicians; the idea was later emulated by groups like AC/DC and U2. After the Stones finished the song, the flatbed truck rolled down 5th Avenue another block and the band jumped into limousines. They never attended the press conference.
