Upgrade Info from Torrent:
"This is my attempt at improving one of the most famous Rolling Stones bootlegs of all time, TMOQ's "Welcome to New York." Originally released in 1973 on LP, it had great stereo soundboard sound quality of the last show of the Stones' '72 US tour on Mick Jagger's 29th birthday, and a great cover drawn by William Stout. Since then, it has been re-released many times on LP and CD, in varying quality. I tried to use the best available sources for my version. Tracks 1-6 are from a second generation audience recording. Quality is pretty good for '72; I've heard a few better and many worse. I discovered this tape in 1992, on a Rolling Stones mailing list. The person I got it from got from a friend who was the taper.
He told me his friend called Madison Square Garden before the show and asked if it was ok to bring a tape recorder, and they said it was. Of course during the show someone noticed him taping and he had to stop, but somehow he managed to keep what he had recorded to that point. This is all there is. These tracks were transferred to PC in 2001 using a Nakamichi BX-300 tape deck with pitch control and a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card. They have since been transferred back and forth between PC and CDR several times, always using EAC.
Tracks 7-15 are from LP. Legend has it that the soundboard tape was stolen from the person recording the show for the Stones. TMOQ's Stones tapes don't circulate, so original vinyl is the best source. I used a red vinyl original with RS-546 REI matrix, played on a Music Hall MMF-7 turntable with an Ortofon OM-20 cartridge, through an Adcom GFP-565 preamp, then into an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card. The transfer was originally done in 2006 and LP surface noise was reduced using Cool Edit Pro 2.1. I also fixed the volume drop at the end of "Midnight Rambler" as much as possible, and rearranged the tracks back to their original running order; TMOQ took it upon themselves to resequence them. For 2007, I have slightly improved the editing and indexing. Artwork is based on Vinyl Gang's "Welcome to New York" CD, which lifts its art from the original TMOQ LP. Please note that the sound on tracks 7-15 is far superior to the best known CD release which is TSP's CD (and LP) from 1989." *Many thanks to the creator of this upgrade.

Dunno if you saw the message/request I left in an older post (d*mn if I can remember which post it was..!). I'm after this Neil Young show from Roskilde Festival 2001:

More requests..? Yeah sure! I know Neil Young was at Roskilde Festival earlier than 2001 so of course I'll be interested in that show as well.

Also looking for: early (70's or 80's shows) with George Thorogood & the Destroyers, Motörhead and The Dickies...and "of course" anything you haven't already posted with T.Rex.

That's it...for now :-) Have a great weekend Real!
