The Rolling Stones: Oakland '69 (Soundboard) FLAC

Maybe you've heard about "Wolfgang's Vault," the website playing music and selling memorabilia from Bill Graham's archives. Here's a show they don't have, for whatever reason, but Bill Graham presented it on KSAN back in late October, 1972.

It was recorded at the Oakland Coliseum, November 9, 1969, 2nd show. By coincidence, it's the exact same show which was recorded from the audience by the guys who would go on to start the TMOQ record label. When their record came out, "Liver Than You'll Ever Be," people thought it was a soundboard recording because the quality was so good. Read the provided Rolling Stone Magazine review; they speculated that it must have been recorded "by someone involved in setting up the Stones' own sound system."

They were wrong. "Liver Than" was just a great audience recording for the time. But maybe the reviewer somehow heard about this recording and got his stories mixed up.

Around October 1972, the Fillmore West was closing. KSAN played some material from the "Good Old Days" from Bill Graham; see provided flyer. A friend of mine recorded this off the air. He told me people at the time were disappointed because a lot of the material played was actually from records, not the concerts listed.

This is an incomplete soundboard recording, totally different from "Liver Than." When I got this on CDR back in 2003, it ran too fast. My friend said that's the way they broadcast it. I matched the pitch to my low gen. of the audience recording. The complete lineage is something like this:

SB (1969) > FM (1972) > reel (1972) > CDR (2003) > PC editing (2003) > CDR (2003) > FLAC (2007)
