I just received the DVD of some of the 1981 pro-filmed 1981 shows. To me, these shows have always been a holy grale, as one of the first Stones books (by Philip Norman) gives a good description of these opening shows. Now, finally after 20 years we get to see the shows! Well, if you're just like me a fan of the 1981 tour, this 2 CD set is an absolute must have! It opens with the opening Philly show, and all is filmed with one pro camera from the first deck, with SB sound. It's just encredible to see the Stones struggling through the first show like I never seen before. All other shows are a joy to watch: Buffalo, Dallas and MSG and especially the Pontiac footage is great to watch, with all kind of backstage footage. CD2 is the best version I have ever seen of the Wembley footage, even including the opening of Under My Thumb. I always remembered this footaga as mainly close-ups, but this footage suddenly seems much better to watch. If you're a fan of the '81 tour: go get this DVD!

Since Mathijs is so secretive, my guess is the same as Andys guess.
The D-Stone 81-82 is extremely good, I was surprised in a good way when I saw it.

same here - it's hot stuff.
those Keith & Ronnie backup vocals are such a joy - LoFL, and so is Mick singing both parts to LSTNT in Philadelphia because Keith was too busy. :E

This has been available for the past 4 months...it's very good but a little repetitive and frustrating all the same....

Esky

I'd love a copy of this

If anyone has it and wishes to trade, please e-mail me

for the love of god

i can't stand it when people whet our appetites, and say "get this"

and then give us valid reasons for doing so

but they don't provide the details

like its a state secret, and only an idiot wouldnt know where to get it

so let me play the dummY

HOW DOES ONE GO ABOUT GETTING THIS DVD?

I used to have a bad audience of that 1st show and yes it is Stones struggling at their best! I seem to recall the best ever versions of shattered and neighbors. I love to get my hands on this, does it include Mona or Down the road? What is it called??

as far as i know, the title is what Andrew & Vilhelm already said: D-Stone 81/82, or something a lot like that.
it's a 2-DVD set. i got it from a friend (and my copy's flawed). if i had copying capability (and a good copy) i'd offer to share it, but i don't - i'm sorry.
i'd seen the (beautiful) 82 stuff before; it's the quality of the 81 parts that surprised me so positively. but as Esky says the material is quite repetitive (ahhh, remember the good old days when the set list stayed constant throughout a tour and no one bitched about it?!); and several of the 81 segments are marred by incredibly gormless notions of what's worth filming (eg dopey shots of a balloon or a helicopter during the solos); and none of the segments are complete. no Mona, no Down the Road Apiece.
in other words it's cool to see if you have a chance, but not seeing it isn't like never seeing Hampton 81 or something.

the details of obtaining the cd seem sketchy....however if the info is supplied , i will buy...I have always considered that tour "tops" hell who can deny that version of "Time is .." from Still Life

Well well, it;s not like it's part of a secret conspiracy or something. It's indeed the D-Stone set, it's available already for half a year, and if you check the Trade and Sell section I bet you find somebody selling or trading this.

Mathijs,
Could you torrent it please ?

If I know how, I would! But, if I remember well, it has been up some of these Torrents sites allready. Everydayjones or something.
