Rolling Stones The shows
No live album was released from the tour, although a recording of the first 17 October show in Brussels was headed towards official release.But pulled back for legal reasons. As Brussels Affair (and some other names such as “Bedspring Symphony”), it has been a popular bootleg in superb stereo sound. Often considered a ‘lost classic’ of bigger importance than some of the official Stones’ live albums. The Rolling Stones Mick Jagger Ahoy Rotterdam 1973
