The Rolling Stones 1967-04-14 Hallenstadion Zurich, Switzerland(BJ Celebration Vol 04)

 

Brian's Last Tour

This project was created to commemorate the passing of Brian Jones in the night of July 2 to July 3, 1969.
This 1967 European tour was the last one he participated in.

Thanks to my accomplices nzb and BlueTurns2Grey for their advice and expertise.

25th March - 17th April 1967: European Tour.
Line-up: MJ (voc, tamb)/KR (gtr, bvoc)/BJ (gtr, dulcimer on Lady Jane, recorder on Ruby Tuesday, org on Let's Spend The Night Together, harm on Goin' Home)/BW (bass, bvoc)/CW (dr)

Part 04:
14th April 1967
ZÜRICH

Aside from the Paris show, the other shows from the 1967 tour are of mediocre quality.
Nevertheless, they remain extraordinary documents of this remarkable period.

14th April 1967: Zürich, Switzerland, Hallenstadion

For this show only a poor quality audience recording circulates: it can be found on “Swiss Made ‘67” (no label).
The recording accurately captures the chaotic atmosphere of the concert and the fervor of the audience.
Some accounts of the concert mention a stage invasion; the Stones seem to have interrupted 'The Last Time': perhaps for this reason?

Brian's Last Tour

This project was created to commemorate the passing of Brian Jones in the night of July 2 to July 3, 1969.
This 1967 European tour was the last one he participated in.

Thanks to my accomplices nzb and BlueTurns2Grey for their advice and expertise.

25th March - 17th April 1967: European Tour.
Line-up: MJ (voc, tamb)/KR (gtr, bvoc)/BJ (gtr, dulcimer on Lady Jane, recorder on Ruby Tuesday, org on Let's Spend The Night Together, harm on Goin' Home)/BW (bass, bvoc)/CW (dr)

Part 03:
11th April 1967
PARIS


11th April 1967: Paris, France, L'Olympia (1st or 2nd show)

This show is the most know from this tour and I used it as reference.
It was broadcasted on April 16, 1967 by French radio ‘Europe 1’ in their program 'Musicorama' (version #1).
Subsequently it appeared on lots of bootlegs in particular on DAC 190 ‘F***in And S***in’.

In the Seventies, 6 tracks were re-broadcasted in AM quality, they appeared on VGP 248 ‘Ready Steady Stones’ (I call it version #2).

In the Nineties five tracks were re-broadcast in FM quality (version #3). They appeared on VGP 101 ‘A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss’ with comments from a well known French actor: Jean-Claude Brialy (I call it version #3).

Part I: merge between VGP/DAC and Teague Raw:
The result that pleased me the most was to merge version #3 from VGP 101 or version #1 from DAC 190 with the version #1 proposed by Teague Raw (TR) several years ago (used as speed reference).

01 - Paint It Black
merge: VGP 101 (version #3) with TR (version #1) except for the first 17 seconds and the last second coming solely from TR
02 - 19th Nervous Breakdown
merge: DAC 190 (version #1) with TR (version #1)
03 - Lady Jane
merge: DAC 190 (version #1) with TR (version #1)
04 - Get Off Of My Cloud-Yesterday's Papers
merge: DAC 190 (version #1) with TR (version #1)
05 - Under My Thumb
merge: VGP 101 (version #3) with TR (version #1)
06 - Ruby Tuesday
merge: VGP 101 (version #3) with TR (version #1)
07 - Let's Spend The Night Together
merge: VGP 101 (version #3) with TR (version #1)
08 - Goin' Home
merge: DAC 190 (version #1) with TR (version #1)
09 - Satisfaction
merge: VGP 101 (version #3) with TR (version #1) except after 2’30 which comie solely from TR

Part II: alternate merges (VGP 248) with Teague Raw
Source #3 is saturated this is why I offer another version using source #2 (which combines also nicely with source #1)
10 - 19th Nervous Breakdown
merge: TR (version #1) with VGP 248 (source #2) except for the first 9 seconds and the last 5 seconds solely from TR
11 - Lady Jane
merge: TR (version #1) with VGP 248 (source #2) except for the first 3 seconds coming solely from TR
note that I kept the hosts’ intro and outro from source #2 to avoid editing the song
12 - Get Off Of My Cloud-Yesterday's Papers
merge: TR (version #1) with VGP 248 (source #2) except for the first 2 seconds and the last 6 seconds coming solely from source #2
note that I kept the hosts’ intro and outro from source #2 to avoid editing the song
13 - Ruby Tuesday
merge: TR (version #1) with VGP 248 (source #2) except for the first 10 seconds and the last second coming solely from TR. In source #2 I fixed a flaw at 2’40
14 - Goin' Home
merge: TR (version #1) with VGP 248 (version #2)
15 - Satisfaction
merge: TR (version #1) with VGP 248 (version #2)

THE HAGUE

Aside from the Paris show, the other shows from the 1967 tour are of mediocre quality.
Nevertheless, they remain extraordinary documents of this remarkable period.


15th April 1967: The Hague, Netherlands, Houtrusthallen

This isn't Brian Jones' last concert with the Stones, but it is the last one for which we have a recording.
It can be found on 'Beat Beat Beat' (Multi Color Shades MCS 101) (running slightly too slow) and Teague Raw released a reworked version a few years ago.
It also appears on 'Groovin' Around' (VGP 074), which is my favorite version and which I tried to improve a bit by toning down the fluctuations in volume.
As usual, the recording is de-clicked and the phase improved.

The Rolling Stones 1967-04-02 Stadhalle Vienna, Austria(BJ Celebration Vol 01)

 

Brian's Last Tour

This project was created to commemorate the passing of Brian Jones in the night of July 2 to July 3, 1969.
This 1967 European tour was the last one he participated in.

Thanks to my accomplices nzb and BlueTurns2Grey for their advice and expertise.

25th March - 17th April 1967: European Tour.
Line-up: MJ (voc, tamb)/KR (gtr, bvoc)/BJ (gtr, dulcimer on Lady Jane, recorder on Ruby Tuesday, org on Let's Spend The Night Together, harm on Goin' Home)/BW (bass, bvoc)/CW (dr)

Part 01:
2nd April 1967
VIENNA

2nd April 1967: Vienna, Austria, Stadthalle (2nd show)

Aside from the Paris show, the other shows from the 1967 tour are of mediocre quality.
Nevertheless, they remain extraordinary documents of this remarkable period.

For the Vienna show, two sources are circulating:
The first, of slightly better quality, stops midway through ‘Goin’ Home.’ I’ve called it source #1. It can be found on ‘Groovin’ Around’ (VGP 074), and Teague Raw presented a version of it a few years ago.
The second source can be found on ‘Complete Vienna 1967’ and ‘Vintage Vienna’.
Both sources are also featured on ‘Both Wien Tapes 1967’, and a merged version, ‘2nd Vienna’, was already offered a few years ago by Funkydrummer.

Part I: source #1 upgraded
First I offer you the Teague Raw version slightly upgraded (de-clicked, phase adjusted, some flaws fixed). I kept the same speed except for ‘Goin’ Home’ (which was running too slow) on which I used the one from ‘Both Vienna Tapes’ (so accelerated by +3,15%).
01 - The Last Time
intro shortened, microgaps fixed at 0’53, 1’18, 1’28, 2’59 & 3’03
02 - Paint It Black
A few firecrackers and whistles were toned down
03 - 19th Nervous Breakdown
04 - Lady Jane
microgaps fixed at 3’05 and 3’29
05 - Get Off Of My Cloud-Yesterday's Papers
microgaps fixed at 3’30, 3’34 and 4’40
06 - Ruby Tuesday
a microgap fixed at 3’57
07 - Let's Spend The Night Together
08 - Goin' Home (faded out)

Part II: Merges from 2 sources:
Except for the two last tracks, I offer a merged version from the previous version (Teague Raw) with ‘Complete Vienna 1967’ slowed down by -3,15%,

09 - intro
coming solely from ‘Complete Vienna’
10 - The Last Time
11 - Paint It Black
12 - 19th Nervous Breakdown
13 - Lady Jane
the first 8 seconds and the last 2 seconds come from‘Complete Vienna’
14 - Get Off Of My Cloud-Yesterday's Papers
the last 18 seconds come from ‘Complete Vienna’
15 - Ruby Tuesday
16 - Let's Spend The Night Together
17 - Goin' Home
the first 20 seconds come from ‘Complete Vienna’
In the first source the recording is incomplete, so only the first part of the song is merged with Teague Raw’s version but from 3’35 onward is a different merge (between VGP 274 and ‘Complete Vienna’).
18 - Satisfaction
merge between VGP 274 and ‘Complete Vienna’

Part III: Merge with a TV report:
In early April the Austrian TV (ORF) brodcast an extract from the show that I offer you here merged with the first source. This TV report seems to run too fast so I decelerated the soundtrack by -4% to synchronize it with the 1st version
19 - Get Off Of My Cloud (faded out)
