The Rolling Stones 1978-07-08 Soldier Field Chicago,IL(1978 American Tour series Vol 15)

 

Volume 15

8^th July 1978

(CHICAGO)

8^th July 1978: Chicago, Illinois, Soldier Field

This concert appears in particular in 2 volumes published by VGP: "Tight Dresses And Tampax" (VGP 145) and "Satisfaction Guaranteed" (VGP 378).

As usual, the recordings are now de-clicked and the phase adjusted. To merge them I used VGP 378 as speed reference (it’s on the left channel when VGP 145 is on the right channel).

Between the tracks I compensated a 2 second gap in the VGP 145 version.

BONUS :

Part I - snippets from TV reports:

Some excerpts from the concert were broadcast by American television stations. To improve their sound, I merged them with the VGP 145 version:

11 – intro by TV news anchor (comes from Channel 5)

12 – Lies (comes from Channel 5)

13 – Jumpin’ Jack Flash (comes from Channel 5)

14 – Honky Tonk Women (comes from Channel 2)

15 – All Down The Line (comes from Channel 2)

Note: The videos containing "Let It Rock," "Miss You," “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and "Satisfaction" have a poor audio quality. They will also be presented by BlueTurns2Grey, but with the merges
mentioned above as soundtrack, which therefore don’t need to be repeated here.

Part II - another version :

A different version of "Sweet Little Sixteen" is featured on the vinyl "Long Summer 1978" (AR 092), here it is presented merged with the VGP 145 version.

16 – Sweet Little Sixteen (Long Summer 1978/VGP 145)
