What the hell happened to these guys? I have not bothered to see the Stones since about 81, and watched this out of curiosity. Everyone says they’re “better than ever”, but… What’s with all that junk all over the stage? Why do they need 3 keyboard players and a 5-piece horn section? Why do they need huge inflatable things, 10,000 spinning lights, and flashy pyrotechnics? It all makes the Stones themselves seem utterly ridiculous and unimportant, as if their music alone is not enough entertainment. No wonder their tickets are so expensive.

KR and CW are a great rhythm section, and they should not need ANY of that unimaginitive, hi-tech slick show-biz crap to pull off their tunes live. Why Stones “fans” eat this BS up is beyond me.

Watch Gimmie Shelter or C***s****r Blues or the TAMI Show for the Stones live without – not this silly Hollywood crap.

THIS VIDEO SIMPLY ADDS TO THE OBVIOUS THAT THEY HAVE EVOLVED FROM A ROCK & ROLL (BLUES) BAND TO DEFINE WHAT ROCK & ROLL (WRAPPED WITH A RIPPING BLUES UNDERCURRENT)IS. THEY HAVE PASSED THE POINT OF BEING A BAND TO BECOMING THE TRUE ESSENCE OF ROCK & ROLL BY CREATING A SOUND SO PROFOUND AND UNIQUE THAT IT LEAVES ONE SPEECHLESS AND TOTALLY AWE STRUCK. AFTER ALMOST 40 YEARS I STILL CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT THEIR MUSIC-EVEN AFTER GROWING UP IN THE 60′S WITH THAT GREAT WATERSHED OF TALENT. THIS IS A MUST BUY DVD; ENJOY!

While the visuals on this DVD make me feel like I was there, and I wanted to be excited about this DVD, the sound of each and every song gradually killed my excitement. The sound is terrible, it is biased so much to the music, when the sound from the crowd comes in, its like somebody in the editing studio simply turned up the volume on the crowd track. Very low rent. Worse, the Stones were never known for their live music skills, so the 95% bias to their music leaves all the warts out in the open, with no Stones Live (from the crowd) atmosphere.

I went to this concert, and it was so so so much better in person, I must give the sound crew an F on the DVD, it does not capture the audio side of the experience, while the video side is covered excellent.

Forget this video, check out the Voodoo Lounge or Bridges to Babylon videos. They’re excellent, this one’s only fair. But Stones fanatics will buy it anyway because it’s the last one with Bill Wyman playing bass.
