I just saw "Ladies & Gentlemen" in Nashville

Wow, I was surprised what a crowd was there - it was almost a full house. Anyway, short review - I have never seen the film all the way through, and what I have seen was a terrible looking VHS bootleg. This looked and sounded glorious. The film itself is either the worst shot, most interestingly shot - or both - concert film ever. Virtually no audience shots, constant close ups on Jaggers head with only a black background, and terrible inconsistency with outfits, guitars, what have you.
But it was a good time and I look forward to owning the dvd. I am 32 and never got to see the Stones "larger than life" in this period, so this is the closest I will ever come. Great performances by all, though I am still surprised that Mick Taylor got way more screen time than Keith (his guitar playing was superb though).
Oh and the new edition - Mick's preface interview - quite enjoyable. Anybody else here in Nashville go tonight?
