Night one on July 9 contains "Sympathy For The Devil," later issued on Love You Live. The simple answer is that only one of them is fully unreleased and therefore DIME friendly. Some of you have written asking why we hadn't done any of the 1975 Stones tapes. Mike taped the first, third, fourth and fifth nights of the five-show stand, though as outlined below, there is long-standing confusion about which circulating recordings by all tapers come from which performance. We finally arrive at the one of the most famous stands Mike The Mike recorded: the Rolling Stones 1975 performances at The Forum. Rolling Stones, The Forum, Inglewood, CA, July 11, 1975 But in the early 2000s, longtime Millard friend Rob S was the one she knew and trusted enough to preserve Mike’s work. We know at least a few of Millard’s friends and acquaintances contacted his mother Lia inquiring about the tapes at the time to no avail. The truth is Mike’s masters remained in his bedroom for many years after his death in 1994. There’s also a version of the story where Mike’s family dumps the tapes after he dies. Internet myths suggest Millard destroyed his master tapes before taking his own life, an imprudent detail likely concocted based on the assumption that because his master tapes never surfaced and Mike’s mental state was troubled he would do something rash WITH HIS LIFE’S WORK. The reason the rediscovery of his master tapes is such a revelation is that we’ve been told for decades they were gone. Not all of them but many, and with them a much more complete picture has emerged of what Millard recorded between his first show in late 1973 and his last in early 1993. Yes, you read that correctly, Mike Millard’s master cassettes, long rumored to be destroyed or lost, have been found.

That all changed with the discovery of many of Mike Millard’s original master tapes.
