From what I recall, a lot of the close ups were done in a film studio- as post production.
I think they were shot in Turin with no audience present. I don't think they actually shot anything in a studio.
There was footage shot in the empty Wembley Stadium too, in the run up to the shows there that ended the tour. The band had no shows between 18th and 24th August.
Not sure if it ended up being used in the movie or not but I seem to recall that some of the behind the scenes footage which was shown on an ABC 'In Concert' special around the time of its release being shot at Wembley.
Is this not Wembley?
yes, i dont watch dvds anymore. i could be wrong, but i do believe the picture is cropped from the original presentation to fit a 16x9 display.Quote

I'm sure the Bluray looks pretty damned good on a big flatscreen.
The bluray, not the DVD, correct?
i dont think the imax presentation was 16x9., but then again i never saw it on its release,Quote

A standard IMAX screen is 22 m × 16.1 m (72 ft × 52.8 ft), but can be significantly larger.
that is 1.36:1, not 1.78:1 (16x9)
no, there is a big difference, see for yourself, 1.36:1 is pretty close to 1.33:1:Quote

The Rolling Stones Live at the MAX appears in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 on this Blu-ray Disc. That meant a moderate cropping of the more squarish IMAX dimensions, but the framing of the original footage allowed for a lot of headroom much of the time. While I’d have preferred to get the film in its original ratio, I didn’t think the cropping hurt it.

The Blu-ray is authentic 16:9 widescreen, not pillar box or 4:3 or fullscreen or stretch or cropped (for those trying to skip the bullshlt)...you're welcome.

I think you need to work on your attitude and reading comprehension.

The overall impression is artificial, fake, over the top. They should just have filmed a concert straight off. Other bands can get it right. Why do the Stones always make it so difficult for themselves?
Filming a rock concert isn't exactly rocket science.

Theyd already released a couple of no-frills concert films by this point.
This was really innovative for its time, got quite a lot of publicity and it was good that they tried something fresh. On an IMAX screen - the only way to watch it - it was quite an amazing piece of work.
I don't recall any gripes in the press at the time about its lack of authenticity. It was only really when we saw the behind the scenes stuff that it took the shine off it somewhat.

I think it's terrific. It was my introduction to the 'modern-era' Rolling Stones. I certainly had no idea that Keith could play with such ferocity. His soloing on Happy and Sympathy For The Devil are beyond impressive.
