L.A. Friday (Live 1975) is a live album by the Rolling Stones, released in 2012. It was recorded at The Forum in Inglewood, California, near Los Angeles. The album was released exclusively as a digital download through Google Music on 2 April 2012. The concert was on Sunday 13 July 1975, but bootleggers used the Rolling Stone title of the review of the Friday show for its vinyl bootleg releases.
A DVD for the Friday 11 July 1975 concert at the Forum was released on 19 November 2014 titled From the Vault: L.A Forum (Live in 1975). The official release erroneously states that the DVD recording is from the Saturday 12 July 1975 show.
The set list was the same for both shows, except for the placement of the band introductions.
