- The Rolling Stones Brussels Affair 1973 is one of their greatest live albums ever. In fact it's one of the all time great live albums of all time. But it's not easy to find. Today I found the mega rare super deluxe Rolling Stones Brussels Affair 1973 boxset (though incomplete). Here's my unboxing plus my history with this amazing live recording.

I was at all three Rotterdam. Shows 3 and 4 days before the Brussels show! Spectacular. Had a drink and conversation with Keith and Bill W between the two Sunday shows backstage! I was 16…..
Oh wow - I never had the opportunity to see the Stones with Mick Taylor. First time was 1975 and I was only 12. I can't imagine - just from all the videos I have and live recordings but wow. That 1973 tour are amongst my all time favorite recordings . And you got to meet Keith and Bill Wyman too. . That's incredible - I love hearing personal stories - thanks so much for sharing.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Mick Taylor was also Billy Preston’s guitarist for Preston’s set. He was great too.
@@Larrybabbin1957 yes. And Taylor wore a fake Afro. Great pictures of that.
I love and appreciate what you do Stones forever
Thanks so much.
Nice this is my favorite live album from them. So glad they ended up putting this one out.
It does deserve a wider distribution beyond the super deluxe GHS box. Because as you said it’s fantastic.
Thank ya, my friend, here's yar wild old boy from tha continent. The bruessel-box remembers me to the old Western, when they robbed a bank, the cassetes filled with bucks... But what you got are GEMS! Thanx for yar posting, Alan! Kindly regards from a "Kraut" of Germany. Rock and Roll 4 ever!
Thanks so much my "Kraut" friend from Germany - most appreciated, as always.
Hi Alan WOW I like the rolling stones book 😮 I got to get it and the Pictures is great look for backing at that time I like your stones t-shirt and cap yes I have all of the rolling stones albums CDs and DVDs And Tapes but I don't have that One but thank you for your show Channel and letting me know what out there in music . Yes Alan you also have a fantastic safe weekend. From Terry M. From Erie, Pennsylvania
Thanks so much Terry - you too have a safe and great weekend.
Amazing story ❤ thanks 👍
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it.
Nice pickup of that Brussels Affair super deluxe boxset (minus the CDs and LPs.) I never knew that even existed. That book is phenomenal! I would love to have that for my collection. The best Rolling Stones period as far as I'm concerned. Great price for everything that's for sure.
Thanks as always Tarr. My favorite period as well. Yea got lucky. Thrilled with this purchase. Best Alan
Happy for you, Alan. That book is absolutely unique. The photographs are some of the best I have ever seen of the Stones. I’ll be searching for a copy of The Brussels Affair after hearing your glowing comments.. My favorite Stones live is El Mocambo. Hard to beat that smaller venue. Really enjoy your channel.
Thanks so much - Yea - El Mocambo turned out to be everything I could have hoped it would be and more. Such a fun fantastic listen. Some people complained about the mix and sounding so "big", but I love it too. Thanks so much. Best, Alan
Great review Alan! I've had Brussels Affair on vinyl and CD for many years. El Macombo is also a big favorite of mine.
Thanks so much. Absolutely. Love El Mocambo so much as well. Fantastic
That's a nice find!
thanks so much
I live in Sea Cliff and the store is super cool 😎
Oh how cool. Great town - then went to Bayville and got pickles. Nice day. Great store - what a great vibe and they have bits of everything. Really cool - will be heading back on occasion for sure.
Beautiful book, Alan! Nice find! Back in 2015 there was a limited-edition Japan only release that coupled Brussels on CD with the From the Vault Marquee gig that is now out of print. You never know, it may turn up "in the wild" one day. I've got an excellent boot of Brussels myself on Moonchild Records, both shows.
Thanks so much - is that from Ward Music in Japan. I've never seen one of their releases physically here in America - but what I've seen online looks incredible. They seem to be the pre-eminent Stones "re-release" label. If I ever make it to Japan, I'll be on the lookout, though probably very expensive. But wow they do beautiful high quality work - that's for sure.
Wooow… I am not even sure I knew this existed?
Mazeltov! 🤩
Thanks Morten - I've never seen the box in the wild before, and again this was incomplete. It's rare, expensive, and a great find. Thanks.
Alan ... If you only ever did videos just on The Rolling Stones I would be just as happy... Well done my friend... On a side note.. my favorite live Stones Los Angeles 75 who went to church today show... El mocambo is great too agreed.. 81 Hampton rds.. too... More Stones please..
Thanks so much Glen. I used to have a 3-record bootleg with Who Went To Church, Charlie Watts and his fabulous rolling stones and a 3rd record, which made up the whole LA show - was a fabulous bootleg that was. Yea - that's a classic bootleg album - Best, Alan
I'm jealous Alan.Looks really cool
Thanks Tom - yea - cool find. Onto the shelves with the other collectables.
Your lucky day Alan. Congrats. :)
Thanks so much.
Man, Alan that box looks great! What a great find! Makes me sorry I passed it over in 2012, but I’m sure the price tag would have kept me from looking at the details-and by then, I had multiple versions of Brussels Affair, so I figured I had the most important part. I did get the Super Deluxe box of Goats Head Soup, so I figured I was covered.., but that is an awfully sharp looking book.
I remember the first time I heard those shows (and I have boots with other titles: the “white” sleeve you showed; Bedspring Symphony, All Meat Music, I think?) and was blown away at the fierceness of the band. For all the people who criticized the Stones as being so “sloppy”, I wonder what they would think if they heard this stuff-which hits like a sledgehammer. I’ve not heard many other rock bands come close to that level.
However I gotta ask since you referenced it in your video-you were 12 years old the first time you saw the Stones? How did that happen? I just wouldn’t imagine many youngsters at a Stones concert in 1975. High schoolers, maybe, but not pre-teens. This was not Kiss. And this was at the Garden? How did you swing that-and what kind of impressions did you have? And what was the Ticketron price back then, $10?
Thanks - yea - I've covered this many times in the past. I have an older sister - she's four years older. Had amazing taste in music. From the earliest age, I had a thing for music (I started playing the drums very young). I have photos (in one of my videos somewhere) where I'm playing 45's in diapers - literally - no exageration. Anyway, she had great taste, so from a very young age I started collecting records and had great taste, if I say so myself, because of my sister. By the age of 12 I owned a bunch of Stones albums (GHS was the first I bought when it first came out on the day) and knew most of their songs by heart. My sister, bless her, got tickets to see the Stones twice at the Garden in 1975. She took me to one of them with her boyfriend. I knew every song and had the greatest time. I started really going to concerts with my friends in 1977 (I was 14). The '75 tour had the lotus stage - still my favorite of all time. By the age of 14 my record collection already eclipsed my sisters, but we shared the records. I became known even then as a very knowledgable music kid (I read Creem, Circus, Hit Parader, Rolling Stone a bit) and I still have those magazines. In highschool did a music fanzine and I never stopped - so there you go.. Thanks so much for the question - I really appreciate it.
Great find Alan. I have a bootleg version called Bedspring Symphony. Got the deluxe box set and also got the deluxe vinyl version too like the complete sucker I am 😂
That's awesome - many bootleg versions of course Bedspring Symphony, Nasty Music etc. Great to have them though. Funny, but now that I have the imcomplete box, I'm appreciating more having the complete box. I don't have the vinyl from it, and don't need it, but damn I checked out a video and it looks nice...lol. And a poster apparently. Nice.
Love this video Alan, great to see a bit if exuberance after the underwhelming report on the New Orleans gig cupla days ago. I agree with you on Brussels Affair it is the goat in anybody's collection. You forgot to mention there were 1973 copies released limited to one per person and all personally signed by Sir Mick Jagger ( in fact there is a copy on ebay right now for some reason minus the signature)👌☘️🇮🇪
Wow - I didn't know that. There were copies actually given out back in 1973? The shows were from October 1973. I know King Biscuit started in 1973 but not sure when the Brussels show were first broadcasted. The Stones had them mixed professionally with the idea some of the songs would be released as a live album, with the 2nd side made up of covers - that's where Ain't Too Proud To Beg and Drift Away come from - the album was scrapped. Never heard of a previously released Brussels official Stones release, even limited. Very interesting information. Of course, we all grew up with the bootlegs back then - Bedspring Symphony, Nasty Music and many others from the tapes. Interesting. Thanks for the great information - I need to research this.
Thanks for the reply Alan, the year it was released was 2012 and nineteen hundred and seventy three were released to signify the year the show was recorded. Often wondered why none of the lucky owners of the Box have done a utube clips on it however it's great to at least seen your video I have all the other versions you've showed. Brussels Affair can't be topped in my opinion. Wondered have you seen FlipsideSteveCT's review of the Goats Head Soup Box set, it's quite a long and thorough review with twenty minutes of part 3 dedicated to the Brussels show. It talks with great enthusiasm about it and that really warms my heart as I said before it can't be praised enough💎🔥🕺🎸🎸🥁🎷🎹👌
@@donhanlon7121 Thanks so much. Flipside Steve's videos are incredible. I've seen some but not all. I have not seen his GHS videos, but thanks to you I'll check them out. He's incredible, amongst the best Stones videos ever produced. Best, Alan
I would have bought that box in a heartbeat. It's a shame parts were missing, but like you said,you have the CD.
Yea really just missing the vinyl and poster. Pretty cool though. I’ve never seen one of these so gladly take what I can get from it. Maybe I’ll run into the vinyl at some point and pick it up just for completion purposes.
That book has the wow factor in spades! Please make sure to put a new battery in that watch before you leave your house to go to MetLife Stadium for the Hackney Diamonds tour concert. I’m sure that the watch will complement The Stones attire that you’ll be wearing.
Thanks - that watch will really stand out - good idea....lol. It's like attached to the "belt like band". Gotta figure that one out. But yea - I like that idea.
Very cool find! Those look like nice glossy 8x10 pics, very stunning. I like the watch too, even the wide band stands out. For $50 you really did good, the box itself is cool enough to be worth that. I have the Super Deluxe Goat's Head Soup, that album has really grown on me. I used to think of the album as a step down from the prior Mick Taylor albums, but that set really opened my ears. And the Brussels disc helped. I mean Angie, Star Star, 100 Years Ago, I could just list the whole album. So I really dig the album now.
I think I've seen you mention them in some videos, but do you pick up any of those Uncut Ultimate Music Guides? I just bought the George Harrison and AC/DC editions today, hope to have them by the weekend. They really dive into the artist, review all their albums/songs, lots of old interviews, just really great reads. I have about 30 issues, they have so many out now on a wide range of artists. Great video, look forward to your future scores!
Thanks so much Mike. Glad you've fallen in love with GHS - as you know - truly one of my all time favorite albums - so special to me. Those Uncut Ultimate Music Guides are incredible- in fact I'd go so far as to say they're probably the best "books" on the artists they cover. I have so many and read them cover to cover - I have a backlog of about 6 still to get through. Thanks so much again.
That is my no.1 most coveted box set though I doubt that I'll ever see one. There's just one on discogs advertised as near mint with everything in it priced $599. I couldn't afford it but it's unavailable in my territory anyway.
Thanks Mark - yea - that's the first time ever that I've actually ever seen it (well at least parts of it). The pricing online is all over the place but always expensive - that's for sure.
Brussels Affair really is hard to find at a reasonable price. I've been looking for a copy for some time. I have it as a playlist on Spotify but still haven't found a physical copy.
It's probably too late in the game to cause a stir, but they should have released it as a physical media - CD, vinyl back when they did that box. It's truly amongst the greatest live recordings ever. Not sure why they kept it digital except as part of the Brussels Box and the Goats Head Soup super deluxe box. Stand alone CD would've worked nice.
This is available on the 1974 King biscuit booted as heading for an overload. This is top drawer like the German leg of zeps 73 euro tour
There's a ton of versions of this King Biscuit show on bootlegs. I showed two of mine. Because from radio broadcast that the Stones had mixed for the show - they all sound amazing. Truly amongst the greatest live albums ever in my opinion.
I got the GHS super deluxe box set mainly to get a decent copy of the Brussels affair as was finding it hard to track down on cd
Yea - unfortunately about the only place to find the physical CD copy of it. They really should rectify that and release it as a stand alone. One of the all time great live albums.
Great book! Enjoy your videos.. I have a 3-disc Brussels Affair on RattleSnake, are you familiar with this one? Disc 1 is Brussels Affair, #2 is a mix of same songs but from different shows (Munich, Rotterdam, London, Newcastle) and has a couple bonus tracks including 100 Years Ago and Silver Train says were recorded in Vienna (since you love Goats Head Soup), and #3 I’m not sure where it’s recorded (does’t say) from same tour and is called Down In The Graveyard
No I don’t know that one. But there are so many versions out there. Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I have some Rattlesnake boots and always good.
you better start wearing that watch or i’m calling keith & mick and having your official rolling stones fanatic status revoked.
lol - I gotta get that watch working. It's so big and "ugly". I gotta wear it.
Wow I lived in port Washington never🤥🤥
Yea - cool little store
So, I'm sorry, but there are no albums, cd's in it? Or did I understand something wrong, 'cause sittin by subway station, wanna get home. Hope you'll get satisfied with the expensive stuff. Best wishes...!
I already have multiple copies of the CD (and had bootleg vinyl of the show), but yes this box has no vinyl, cd's or poster. But still pretty cool.
I have the Goats head soup box set vinyl I haven't opened it yet. Because I also bought the CD set and I opened that one. A very cool box set
Wow you bought both the vinyl and CD boxsets of Goats. And I thought I was a fan...lol. Wow - that is awesome.
