LA Friday ’75

Mistitled by bootleggers back in the '70s as LA Friday, the recording was actually made on Sunday 13th July 1975, at the final performance of the Rolling Stones' five night residency at the Los Angeles Forum. The show was part of the Rolling Stones Tour of the Americas, which started with a bang, the band playing on a flatbed truck driving down 5th Avenue in New York City, showcasing their new guitarist, Ronnie Wood. The lineup for the show is Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood, Bill Wyman, Ian "Stu" Stewart, Billy Preston, Ollie E. Brown and Trevor Lawrence. Remastered by Bob Clearmountain, the album contains an incredible versions of "Fingerprint File" and "Angie".

Considering Keith was so smacked up during this show that he could barely remain standing, it's the last show I ever thought they would release officially........



...it was Woody's first tour with the band though, and he was on fire. He ain't Mick Taylor, but when he's good, he's damn good. And Billy Preston was a great addition to the band during his short term with them (73-76)
