Rolling Stones/FL,USA 10.29.2021

The phenomenon that the sound quality of the audience recordings that appear as the tour progresses improves… is seen in all artists, but the same is true for the Rolling Stones 2021 version of the “NO FILTER” tour that began at the end of September. The quality of the audience recordings released so far has been gradually improving, such as two days in Nashville and LA, but the best recording that can be declared to be the best ever is finally here! The recording was made by a taper called “Markbot” at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on October 29th. The audience recording he released is an overwhelming sound image that you can be sure that “… this is close” just by listening to the SE played at the venue before the Stones’ appearance. And when their performance begins, it is already powerful. A magnificent audience recording that makes you want to declare that this tour, which was carried out after Charlie’s death, has appeared… It will impress maniacs, and the sound quality is at a level that even beginners can listen to with confidence. What’s great about it is that not only is it the latest sound source of the 2021 tour, which boasts exceptional quality, but the big appeal is that you can hear the Stones in top form with the best sound quality. On this day, “Get Off Of My Cloud” was played after the opening “Street Fighting Man”. It was the second performance after the first day in LA, but Steve’s drumming has brought back the original momentum. I thought they would play another song from the Brian period from here, but the surprising repertoire that betrayed the fans in a good way was “Sad Sad Sad”. I can’t believe they brought out the song “STEEL WHEELS”. Of course, it was a repertoire that was played every night from 1989 to 1990, but since then it has only been played here and there. Surprisingly, it was played four times in 2019, the last tour when Charlie was alive. The performance at that time was not bad, but Steve has revived the momentum of the past here again in this performance. Certainly, the performance itself is very good, but when Keith starts playing a solo in the interlude, what? The pitch is off because he pressed the frets wrong. Many people have probably seen it in various videos that have already been circulated, but while he plays in a euphoric manner, there were probably many who were surprised by the way he continued playing while the sound was off. Although this is a flaw, the performance itself is good enough to expect future performances. Another rare number on this day was “Far Away Eyes” chosen by fan vote. This is a relaxed country-style song, so it doesn’t feel like a blank at all since the 2015 “ZIP CODE” tour and Nashville. Before this song, “Beast Of Burden” was also played, and in the middle of the live performance, there is the familiar “Miss You”, so it was also attractive that the set list for this day was a mini “Some Girls Night”. And as for “Connection” sung by Keith, it seems to have become a repertoire that represents the 2021 version of the “NO FILTER” tour, but the performance is only getting better. Even though Keith plays a messy intro, the performance itself is not shaken at all, and the sound quality is also excellent, so it can be said that it is a repertoire that you can listen to with confidence. As for “Midnight Rambler”, the development is getting more and more heated, and Mick is hyping up the band as if he should lead instead of Steve, and as a result, it is the best performance of this song since the start of this tour. He does not only hype up the band, but also hypes up the audience with a series of strange voices reminiscent of the stage of the past. Here, the surrounding audience responds, and the balance is not harsh, which is also an outstanding feature of this recording. The latest tour sound source has all three points: good sound quality, good performance, and even rare repertoire. Enjoy the new Stones with Steve on this ultra-recorded audience album with outstanding stability that even surpassed the highly acclaimed “LOS ANGELES 2021 1ST NIGHT” at the top of that tour! This is the best of the 2021 tour. There will probably never be a better title than this. A true definitive edition.
