A great story about this show (according to http://socialmusic.fm/tabid/61/IndexId/17462/Default.aspx)
To cut a long story short - I got it from a guy in Auckland in 1994 who I was trading Dylan boots with, and who, when I mentioned I was a Stones collector, happened to mention that he had taped a Stones show in Auckland which had lain in his cupboard for over 20 years.
He'd never traded Stones shows before and didnt know that it was worth anything and that a recording of the gig wasnt in circulation.
Not being a Stones collector, he kindly traded me his master and was happy to have put it into circulation.
My copy of this show contains only the first eleven songs.
The guy told me that his batteries ran out which is why the final 3 songs (Rip this joint, JJF and SF Man) aren't recorded.
Honky Tonk Women WASN'T played at this show, hence its omission.
It's definitely NOT a soundboard as was first reported - the taper happened to be located very near the speakers I only sent copies to two people in about the first six months after I got it, but by that time the "Aukland 73" bootleg had circulated.
Basically, the booted versions of this concert come from my master tape.
Unless theres another recording of this show in circulation (which I genuinely doubt) the versions of JJF and SF Man on this bootleg are NOT from this show as they arent on the master tape."
