Tell Me :
Talk
I'm with you!
though I must admit I'm a mega-fan and thus rather biased towards my favorite band, I think there is a load of great Stones concert videos post '89. I love Voodoo Lounge as well as Bridges To Babylon. They all have great moments. And I think Four Flicks gives us three great concerts, each with their own vibe, although certain songs are repeated. The Biggest Bang? Love it. Great performances from Austin and Rio. And Shine A Light shows a mature and aging band still capable of rocking out. I'm surprised these later releases get so much hate here. Personally, I think one has to have become rather jaded not to enjoy these releases.
For me the problem with Vegas era is that they don't really change at all. The music doesn't evolve, go to new directions, reinvent itself. The story doesn't go further: it just sticks to one page and repeats it again and again. Only major difference is that of around The LICKS TOUR the key players of the band seemingly start to have technical problems in maintaining the usual standard. Especially Keith RIchards's playing starts to sound and look like a real struggle. The BIG change took place between 1982 and 1989, but since then changes between the tours have been in nuances.
So I really don't need much documentation of that.

The T.A.M.I Show = "Teenage Awards Music International" or "Teen Age Music International"; a concert film from 1964 including many other artists than The Stones as well, most notably James Brown.
LSTNT = "Let's Spend The Night Together", A concert fim by Hal Ashby of The Rolling Stones American our 1981. (It is only known by the name ROCKS OFF if my memory serves me right?)

I absolutely agree, that Babylon DVD from St. Louis is brilliant, ditto the Bremen DVD from 1998 - "Vegas" -era as some call it but to me they are simply fantastic rock'n'roll shows.
I feel as many post'89 are as good as many other fans think; including the 2008 "Shine A Light" - as a poster above remarked, a maturing band still capable of rocking out.
The only reason those are worth half a shit is because of the new songs they did and just a couple of other old ones, like Waiting On A Friend and Monkey Man, etc. And Start Me Up and IORR from iMax are the only things worthwhile about that movie now.
Talk about your favorite band.

Best Stones footage/videos? Shine a light for me...

I was wondering what you think are the best videos/live footage/movies on the Stones? Already have seen/own:
Stones in Exile, Shine a Light, Ladies & Gentlemen and I saw CS Blues on YouTube. I've seen the backstage footage from the Hampton auditorium...along with Concert for NYC - and anything I can find with the Stones...I liked the footage from London when they sing Dead Flowers. Is there more of this anywhere? And what about Somegirls?
Also, does anyone know if if the intro KR did for Friday Night Videos exist somewhere on YouTube?
Any other good clips/videos you can share with me?
Finally - please feel free to point out other threads that already cover this info - I do try to go through a few pages but I don't know if there's better way to search this site.
Ok - I'm re-editing myself (possible signs of oncoming schizophrenic episode.
Maybe I've asked too many questions? Maybe your sick of fielding the same old questions...Maybe I should just be happy with what I have cause I can't always get what you want.
Thanks!!

Thank you - I will check that out...
From the general lack of enthusiasm, I'm guessing this thread
1. Already been discussed ad nauseam
2. There's just too much to say
3. Extremely boring
That said, I've gone out on my own - into the internet land - and found some good stuff. But it's a bit lonely out there...If someone could share a thread here that has Stones-only video - that would be awesome! If not, I will just re-watch Exile over and over and over again...
How can I stop?

Those few seconds before they open the curtains on LSTNT. Hearing the a-train and just wandering what was about to come. A couple of years later the same with Hampton. Only this time i knew what was coming after the a-train.

The 4 videos from "Black & Blue" - the back to back ones.
And for sure the Marquee show. Doesn't matter that they are not very good; it is very good imagery.
I love the earlier stuff - from 68, 69. And the Nellcote footage.

I've always really liked the Bridges To Babylon DVD from St. Louis. I know it's not the best, but sentimental value. That tour was the first time I saw the Stones, and I remember watching the St. Louis concert on the Pay-Per-View special with a few friends, we were in high school. It was a fun night. One of the friends wasn't a Stones fan but was converted after seeing it, then we went out and raised hell that night, with the Stones in the CD player providing the soundtrack.

Live In Texas is probably the best live show video/movie for me. Gimme Shelter, of course, is the best documentary. Four Flicks, overall, is outstanding. Stones In Exile might be the most entertaining video but there's not much to it. Total underkill with that one. And for some reason I'll always have a spot for Bridges To Babylon and Voodoo Lounge live but I have neither of those on DVD somehow, just VHS (along with Atlantic City 1989 of course).
Shine A Light is strictly a shelf filler now, video and audio (even deleted from the player). Their worst, which is just a hair above The Biggest Bang for worst video release (that could top rank due to too much awfulness).

Bridges To Babylon DVD just sucks really. Just like Live At The Max.
My favorite is probably Gimme Shelter - MSG '69. Or Live In Texas. And I wish some day that Hampton '81 will be officially released on DVD/Blu Ray. That'd then would be my favorite probably.
