Philadelphia Special 
Philadelphia Special first came out on TSP (The Swingin' Pig) label as a double LP, and then CDs replaced vinyl albums and this title was released and re-released many times. The latest in this series is this new SODD version, a remastered effort that offers all the glowing sparks of the 72 live Stones, coupled with legendary Jagger song introductions like: “Good morning everyone who got up so early (or late) including the band, I can only sing Lady Jane now" before "Tumbling Dice" (it was 4 am), or “Pass the joint around and give your neighbour a kiss” before launching into a fantastic version of "You Can’t Always Get What You Want". Those days guitar technicians weren't around much on tour and Keith had to retune his guitar before starting "Midnight Rambler". That is probably the reason for a prolonged harp solo by Jagger waiting for the song’s riff to start.

On this song, as on "Jumpin’Jack Flash" and "Street Fighting Man" due to the soundboard clarity of this recording, it is very audible that Nicky Hopkins lead piano is driving the songs home with his boogie style.And if we have heard it a thousand times, there are always new fans that cannot grab anything at their wish (remember these are not available in Walmart!) and therefore we must thank labels like SODD that are putting out these legendary shows even if in limited quantity. Now if they only checked a dictionary before printing covers it would be better, so words like "Legendary" won’t be spelled in Japanese style (Legendaly), hence the low vote for packaging in spite of the beautiful Ethan Russell photo that grace the back side.

The Rolling Stones American Tour 1972
The Rolling Stones American Tour 1972 was a much-publicized and much-written-about concert tour of the United States and Canada in June and July 1972 by The Rolling Stones. Constituting the band's first performances in the United States following the Altamont Free Concert in December 1969, critic Dave Marsh would later write that the tour was "part of rock and roll legend" and one of the "benchmarks of an era.

No live album was released from the tour at the time, although one was planned with one disc devoted to ‘support act’ Stevie Wonder and the other one by the Stones  as far as having a front and back cover designed and studio touch-ups being made on several recorded tracks. It was assembled and somehow leaked to a Philadelphia radio station that did broadcast it on the air, Eventually, the album was shelved due to contractual disputes with Allen Klein who had copyrights on, the legit LP never came out. But thanks to bootleggers we can listen to it anyway.

Two films of the tour were produced. The concert film Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones! only saw a limited theatrical release in 1974. Aside from an Australian VHS release in the early 1980s, it wasn't officially available on home video until 2010. The film's complete soundtrack was released as an album by Eagle Records/Universal in 2017. Stevie Wonder was the support act for the tour. Having released his groundbreaking Music of My Mind album in March 1972, Wonder would go on to release another epochal album (Talking Book) by year's end. This placement, along with his hard-edged hit "Superstition" (released in October 1972), did much to increase Wonder's visibility to rock audiences. He and his band would also sometimes join the Stones at the end of the group's performance for an encore medley of Wonder's 1966 hit "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction".
