No, no plans as of yet

No unfortunately, that is a huge job and we can not do this

The film was a work for hire for VH1 Maysles Films does not hold any of the

So maybe a new release of "Gimme Shelter" is on the way, and they have the full Altamont concert in stock. Very interesting IMO.

(BTW: It's for real. It's not something I just made up).

I bought the 'Gimme Shelter' dvd as my brother's Christmas-present to me (OK, think about it) at my local store here in Holland! However, the back-cover promised a "44-page booklet with essays" that was sadly not included. I went back to the shop but the man had no idea anything failed and couldn't find it either. Someone's been swindled I guess.

I found a dvd in that same store called "Rolling On" some time ago. It seems to be a documentary from 1991 or so, up to the SW Tour. It's not listed in Karnbach & Benson. Perhaps you people know more. Is it official? Is it worth buying?

Never heard of it Limbo.

JumpingKentFlash

I saw the DVD called 3Rolling on" in several places, but since it's not an official release, I never thought buying it, because there are probably no complete songs featured. (I guess it's something like the Just For The Record set)

Here are some info :

That's the one!

My copy Of GS (the Criterion Edition) does have an excellent booklet with essays by several parties from Stanley Booth, (ex-RS employee) Jo Bergman, (critic) Amy Taubin, Michael Lydon, (critic) Godfrey Cheshire & the inimitable Sonny Barger all nicely designed/illustrated. Maybe your dealer has another copy for exchange? (The bonus features are very welcome also (Prodigal Son, Carol, backstage stuff, etc)

I have the bonussus of course. But the booklets (with neither of the two copies he got) were not included. I don't know from where he bought them in (US?), but the booklets were obviously taken out before they ended up in his store. A pity. But then again I don't believe he got them through the usual retail channels.

JJF : congratulations, it is a smart initiative.

Rumour says the Maysles shot at least the ten last days of the tour.

Some there must be other scenes from other concerts.

Yeah. I hope we get like a special box with the whole Stones performance and some snippets of Santana and some more of the cool Flying Burrito Brothers.

JumpingKentFlash

Is the LIV on GS from NY or Baltimore? (I thought the Ya Yas LIV is from Baltimore.)

It's from MSG in NY.

I'm talking about the verson on "Gimme Shelter".

Stone72: Just because I didn't know it was from doesn't mean that I'm dumb. I guess that such a statement really shows who's the dumb one out of the two of us. @#$%& retard.

Baltimore. It´s an edited version of the track on Ya-Ya´s.
The footage you see during the song is a collage of MSG material.

Thanks T&F.

OK, so everyone's right.







Let's get along people. Why are we fighting and what for? . . .

Has anyone made any recent contact with the Maysels about what footage they have in the can?

stonesstein

Kick me like you did before
I can't even feel the pain no more
Rocks Off, 1972

they dont own the footage they have in the can, thats the issue.

OLDKR

People, it's MAYSLES, not Maysels.

isn't it Measles ?

Seem to remember going over all this before, but it's all down to cost.

We all know the Maysles have footage from MSG and Altamont 69 but as it took years to get a world wide release for Gimme Shelter on DVD the costs for an Altamont or MSG just aren't viable

Smart Kent boy... You did whe righteous obvious thing.. Now, I think we should break in that Maysles wharehouse before they wait to release the whole show 100 years from now

Just a reminder: this thread was opened over six years ago. Keep that in mind when reading the first posts.

You got me... Only 94 years to wait

And Ken is now 29

Would you shut it?
Yeah, it was back when I first got my hands on Gimme Shelter on an American DVD. I mailed them and I was quite surprised that they answered it so fast. Since then we've gotten Gimme Shelter on a worldwide release in 2009, but it didn't have any extra stuff that we didn't have on the American 2000 Criterion Collection on it as far as I can remember. As OldKR says: They don't have the rights. I'd love to see hat else they have though.

JumpingKentFlash

They better hurry up..Pretty soon nobody will care!!
