Earls Court Thoughts

["John Bindon" <john_bindon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey All,

I can't remember who just posted the thoughts on the "BEST" of the Earls 
Court shows, but I happen to be listening to 5/18/75 which I downloaded from 
Win MX.

Basically, I'm suprised at how subdued the English crowd is in comparison to 
the American crowds which I've listened to thus far in the tour.  More 
specifically I'm surprised how laid back the band is during this particular 
performance.  Side note: I've always tried to avoid hearing the Earls Court 
performances in hopes that I would be blown away if Jimmy and the boys chose 
to officially release the material.  However, after listening to this 
particular performance, I'm a little disappointed and feel that MSG or Long 
Beach were more ferocious performances.

Is there a truly energetic Earls Court performance where the boys completely 
let loose?  Maybe these performances suffer from the "End of the tour 
syndrome?"

I'd love to hear thoughts or suggestions.
