the start me up from this movie was the same as on the jersey devil boot.. listen to the sound difference. the sound in the movie sucks. very thin, guitars barely there. the sound from the boot is loud, upfront. hal ashby did a terrible job with the guitars in the mix here. you see the come girls movie just released, or gimme shelter and it's far better than LSTNT.

that's the other issue with LSTNT - the songs are incomplete and edited. horrible movie. they should have used a cleaner version of the seattle or houston shows that they professionally recorded.. why record them and not show them only to have LSTNT as the document from this tour.

>is the blu-ray region free where it will play anywhere, and does it include whip comes down?
That was in the Euro movie ROCKS OFF, not LSTNT. Would have made a nice bonus.

i have more of a problem with the sound than the songs being cut but i still have a problem with the songs being cut...regardless, it's a pathetic document of the tour. compared to other movies, official and bootleg, this is the worst of the worst. my point on the seattle and houston shows was that they are far better sounding and i don't know why the stones would allow hal ashby to butcher their concert the way he did. even with cut songs, at least keep the sound rough, loud, and raw and not thin, over produced, and barely audible guitars

Wonderful movie, visually stunning, their best. The opening sequence, BoB in first twilight, wow! I can live with the edits, it’s the high pitch that starts hurting my ears after the second or third song. And the movement are chaplinesque. Still looking for a dvd (no Blu-Ray - yet) with the correct speed.

i know he's dead but does it have to do with the re editing ?
you need to have the original tapes with complete songs, bought the rights and then re edit.

Look, do the most basic research on Hal Ashby and his working methods and you will soon realize that what you envision is a futile pipe dream.
Ashby had a rep. for being so paranoid about Hollywood interference that he stored reels of his current movie in progress in the trunk of his car. If unedited reels did exist, they would not be easily accessed (and if they were, why would his estate allow a re-edit of his movie, and by whom?).
