A little summary of this Thread (with BV’s consent):
How about a Tour Diary?Basic idea: the viewer should have the feeling to be on Tour as a "6th Rolling Stone" (beside Mick, Keith, Charlie, Ronnie, MickT) .
Countdown to the Tour / Rehearsals:
- starting with the arrival to the rehearsals in Paris in Jan./Feb. 2014
- document each "working day" of the Stones similar to
Brussels/Vilvoorde- record rarely played songs, release them not immediately but later during the Tour
- the arrival to Abu Dhabi
For each day of the Asia-Pacific Tour:
- travelling of the Band
- show the cities offside well known tourist sites (in Tokyo maybe the nightlive)
- show the venue
- show the building of the stage, the transport of the equipment, the Tour logistic
- document the preparations for the show, like backstage rehearsals, the backstage rooms, light & sound checks, some impressions from their private live with their families during the Tour
- documentation about the instruments and their maintenance, their tuning
- selection and making of the costumes (especially by L'Wren Scott)
- the making of the final set list
- the last 15 mins before the show, strapping on guitars, last minute gear check, walk to the stage, the rush as they roll out
- first minute of the show with 50/50 crowd/band shots
- close-up shots of Mick, Keith, Charlie, Ronnie
- Mick Taylor guitar solos
- Charlie's playing: hands and feet
- interactions of all band members, especially Mick & Keith, Mick & Lisa
- "Select-a-Stone" feature with fixed shots like on the 'Four Flicks' DVD
- instrument-cameras (e.g. 'Guitar cam')
- interesting artistic settings like silhouettes, extreme close ups of hands / instruments, songs combined with historical footage
- Mick in the very front tongue stage working the crowd
- Keith and Ronnie doing the lip walk, interacting together
- what is Mick doing during Keith's set (maybe watching Keith doing his songs; some funny things)
- features about the "guest musicians" like Bobby K., Darryl, Chuck, Lisa, Bernard, Tim R., Matt C. and so on
- great crowd shots mixed with stage shots, footage of real fans
- Band introductions from each show, especially Charlie
- footage of the Band after the concert backstage, their reactions of the concert
- the fans' reactions after the concert
Live footage:
- "Clips of the day": at least one complete live song from each show (not only the warhorses!) plus at least one song from the rehearsals (which had it not made onto the setlist) plus the band introductions from each show
- Pay-per-View or Live-Stream of a indoor show (maybe Shanghai or Tokyo) and a outdoor show (maybe Hanging Rock), perhaps complete shows for online-purchase
Maybe there are some more ideas.
If this Tour documentation was a success, they should repeat it at the european leg of this Tour. Who knows, when the next big World Tour will be .....
