Comments:
I ran across this one tonight on an archive spindle and since the other '81 board postings I've shared today were well-received, I thought I'd put this up too. I downloaded this from Dime in October 2005 courtesy of Dime user "snapps".

This seems to be a pretty good performance, though honestly I have a hard time telling the 1981 shows apart. Most of these shows were relatively stagnant in terms of setlist, but the performances were generally high-energy though (in my opinion) kind of sloppy. I'm not a fan of Mick's vocals on this tour, but the setlists were great. This tour certainly helped to establish their reputation as one of the best live acts around, and one of the top acts of their generation. One item of note -- "Down the Road Apiece" replaces "Twenty Flight Rock" in the setlist, and is great.

Sound quality is very good overall, with very lively high end and excellent presence on the vocals. I have no idea how this one may compare with other releases, but hopefully this will fill a gap for some collectors.

If you are a Stones fan, chances are you already know what you'll find here -- a mix of newer songs and deep tracks in the first hour, followed by Keith's mini-set (on this tour, only one song) and a greatest-hits selection to close the show. I haven't listened to this one in depth, so perhaps others can comment on how this performance compares to other nearby dates on the tour. It recently dropped off the tracker after its most recent (2011) posting, so I thought I'd toss this up during the free-leech period for the voracious Stones collectors who don't have it.
