Hmm, the song-list seems to bear a "striking resemblance" to those on the Four Flicks and Biggest Bang DVDs ............. I'll still probably end up buying it though. Mainly because I was actually THERE, not for the contents per se. Christ, how many versions of those same tunes can one watch/listen to ?
Yeah, that's more and more the problem. I really wondered why they didn't more changes to their setlists for those H. Park shows.

For the same reason they wore the same clothes both nights (and Zeppelin did the same at Knebworth '79)--so that they can pick the best performances from each show for the DVD.

Amazing foresight on Zeppelin's part - wearing the same clothes for the release of a show almost three decades later on a medium that hadnt even been invented at the time! Even filming shows for home video release was pretty much unheard of in 1979.
Although they only used footage from the first night, so they need not have bothered!Quote

OK, not DVD in their case. Doesn't alter the fact that they filmed and (eventually) released it, and that that's why they wore the same clothes for both shows.

From October 26, Sweet Summer Sun will be screened in major cities in Japan.
We can't rewind, stop, pause and play but Stones on a big screen will just be fantastic.
And 2000 yen ticket to a movie theater is reasonable.
Hi Toru,
Do you have any links with info about the screenings?
My (Japanese) sister-in-law is a huge Stones fan, I'm sure she'll be interested in seeing this. She is with her family in Osaka now, but will probably be back in Tokyo by late October.
Also thanks for all the info regarding the Japanese releases. All these different versions is starting to get a bit confusing!
Cheers,
Lee
lmatth8461,
Two theaters in Osaka are in the list. Please see below.

Hope your sister will enjoy.

Thanks for the info, Toru...seems like she's already returned to Tokyo, so I'm sure she will find something there.

I am hoping that they used film cameras and then convert the film to HD. There is true magic to the "film look."
I am supposing that my hopes are in vain and everything was shot with HD cameras. But were they 1920 HD cameras or 4K HD cameras I wonder?

And in other news, the US Amazon still isn't any more forthcoming about the various packages. I'm guessing the $41.99 package is the vinyl

I really enjoy hearing the different little twists they give to the old "warhorses" from one tour to the next.
Sometimes it's just a subtly diiferent riff here, or a diifferent emphasis and timing there...but it's fun to listen to.

The fact that its cut for other markets is just the Stones and their organisation being a bunch of dicks, delivering poor value for money.

You may be right but I will give them the benefit of the doubt in that there may be exclusive contracts that come into play here which is why the release is different for some countries. Based on my experience Japan often gets versions with bonus features not available in other regions. This practice is nothing new and many bands do it.

I dont mind that. If Japan actually got bonus material. Which isnt unreasonable as they played about 22-23 different songs over the two nights.
Whats actually happened was that they pretty much got what should be the 'standard' version - ie the songs which appear on the audio recording. The rest of the world got an edited version of that. If anything it should be re-titled the 'substandard edition'.
Sixteen songs on a visual format over a multi disc release (especially using a format such as blu ray which has so much capacity) is a pretty shoddy piece of product no matter what way its dressed up.

And you're convinced it was the Stones plan to screw their fans? too what purpose? I still think there is a method to their madness but maybe I am being naive.

At one point it did appear that a 'duets' release was likely (mostly because a lot of the duet songs were one off performances and a high % of them were on UMG). Thankfully that didnt materialise. It would have been a hideous release.

I don't recall ever hearing or reading about anything of the sort except from one very certain troll that thought it would be a great idea.
Clearly the Stones didn't read/listen to 'im, as usual...
