This recording comes from two pairs of in-house cassettes that were included in the same trove of tapes that yielded the Foxes In The Boxes series a few years ago. All the tapes once belonged to Art Collins, who essentially ran Rolling Stones Records on behalf of the band inside of Atlantic Records in the U.S., they came into JEMS possession several years ago.
The concert happened in Tempe, close to Phoenix and has come out on many underground recordings, but first appeared on a tape called Live at Sun Devil’s Stadium; Jumping Jack Flash and Satisfaction are shortened versions from Still Life that can be found also on Ride Like the Wind (Rattlesnake 041-44). On vinyl we can find tracks on On Top Of Old Smokey (Sound Board Ltd AT 891), Mission Direct Hits (Glimmer RSG 81), Ride Like The Wind (Great Live Concerts RSSG 6012-4299).

Some tracks are available on a number of discs: 7 tracks on Truncated Tracks LP (LSNT), 4 Tracks on Kings of Drugs (EVSD 006-7) and KBFH Broadcasts 2 (Moonchild Rec.029), 14 tracks on Let’s Spend The Night Together (C.Drift   CD 005-6) in 1995 taken from video source, Hang Fire can be found on   Ride Like the Wind (VGP 290), Best of USA Tour 73-80 (Seagull 031), Concerts that Rocked the World vol.1 (KBFH 9-22-87) and on KBFH  (DIR 18F2) and Another Still Life (no label). Both Hang Fire and Satisfaction are on  Time Is On My Side (VGP 038), On Top of Old Smokey (VGP 280), Mission Direct Hits (VGP 247& S&H Music House HD 23-24), Going To A Go Go (STCD 1042), Ride Like the Wind (Great Live Concerts RSSG 6012-4299) 84, Black Limousine (Lobster 018-2), Fever In The Funkhouse vol.2 (Golden Stars LACD 002, Live in Detroit (BCLS 005), Sexual Healing (OTR 6551-2). Satisfaction can be found on Still Life and on On Top of Old Smokey (AT-81) cd released in 1993, Hannover 82 (Check This Out), Start Me Up, Still Life (90922 2025 RS). Hang Fire and She’s So Cold are on Stoned Through the Years (Golden Rec. GC002CD), Miss You and Satisfaction on Mission Direct Hits 2LP (Glimmer Rec. RSG 01-04) 83 and as part of us American Tour 1981 Part 2 (WLR 2192). As for the complete show an audience recording it can be found on Want Some Dirty Stuff? (RAR Rec.) 3 cds and on Welcome to Phoenix cdr. The soundboard version was released on Satisfaction Guaranteed (VGP 136) as stereo soundboard in 1997, then on Live at Sundevil Stadium (ARIZ 8101-2) and on Devils and Desert (GFR 346-7) in 2009 as Phoenix 81 (DAC 141) which offered a nice complete version including the full length songs that were shortened on Still Life. In 2019 were released 2 sets of the same name called Barroom Queen in Phoenix (APCD 037) with 2 different mixes of the soundboard taped. Some funny things to notice about this show: on Let It Bleed Jagger forgot the lyrics at the beginning repeating the initial verse over and over, instead of getting to the second one, this is weird since the concert happened at the end of the tour; another striking thing is the band introductions when he introduces Stu saying he has been with the band for 25 years, had it been so Stu should have started playing with the Stones in 1956! Finally, the Outro contains the whole Hendrix track, which was not edited as on Still Life.

This release appears to come from the Ruff mixes from Barroom Queen in Phoenix, it is a decently balanced while the other mix (Alternate Reference) had the guitars buried in the mix and upfront were Mick’s vocals and the drums. On the Barroom Queen in Phoenix we had written: “This is anyway a great find which will eventually end up duplicated on some label s catalogue, we will see which mixes will be selected by them to be on silver disc, unless some creative character may decide to print a selection of songs from both, according to his own taste”, it seems Mayflower opted for the Ruff mix then.
