The last section with the 3d performance, is like watching sitting and watching 3d in cinema or like virtual reality?
Mebee this helps dude:
3D concert experience: You are in a typical backstage area at a Stones gig. Flight cases, racks of guitars, mirrors, changing areas, computer screens, little enclosures. “We’re ready to go when you are,” comes a message from the crew. Stick on the special specs and step out “on stage” alongside the group at one of their shows in Hyde Park in 2013. You will see the view of the runway out into the audience exactly as Jagger sees it while he runs the 50 metres or so out into the middle of the crowd. Stand shoulder to shoulder with Keith and Ronnie as they chop out the riff to Satisfaction and fireworks explode into the night sky. A breath-taking finale to the show - and the exhibition.
\m/
I didn't think this was a very accurate description - the 3D video is great fun but you are not really seeing it from the band's viewpoint - more like a great front row spot, with occasional shots out into the audience. There is a viewing area with no seats, in which most of my crowd tamely seated themselves on the floor... Anyway, it brought back some very happy memories of Hyde Park - I bet if you were in the front rows there you will spot yourselves in the video.
As you will deduce, I've been spending over three very enjoyable hours at the Exhibition today. No pictures because I'm not that good at sneaky photography and TE has done it much better than I could. A few observations:
- Get there early - I went in at 10.30 and by 11.15 there was a considerable scrum coming out of Edith Grove into the room with their first contract and Keith's diaries - took about ten minutes to get to see those (and some hilarious forms they had to fill in for the Press about colour of eyes - Keith's are "brown and bloodshot" apparently - and the ambitions that jlowe listed earlier).
- "Edith Grove" is life size and looks realistically vile but DOES NOT SMELL. There's even a gas meter waiting to be fed shillings, and the tiny inadequate electric fire in the hearth. Lots of "Oh God, just look at their kitchen!" from the crowd.
- There are two 3" reel-to-reel tapes on show which are said to contain a recording of a Crawdaddy performance. News to me.
- I think my favourite area was the mock-up of Olympic studios - you stand in the control room and look at the instruments laid out (together with coffee mugs and ashtrays), while video and audio of the the band in the studio from various eras bring the display to life. This bit did have an evocative smell - the electronic/tape smell of the reel-to-reel machine which was just like that of the one I had when I was a teenager.
- it's obvious that Mick was the one who kept his costumes! More of his than everyone else's put together.
- Brian gets his due in the early years and so does Stu - Mick Taylor is present but not very prominent - if anything has been removed the gap has been closed seamlessly.
- the exhibition looks to be doing well - a bit crowded at times and still plenty of people queueing at the ticket booth when I left around 2.30.
I'd happily go back another time and do it again.
PS: you'll need to mortgage the house and sell your family into slavery to afford most of the gift shop!

I'm watching this with tightly gritted teeth. A shallow and inadequate commentary by an unknown.
I almost stopped when he says that they didn't drop into gear until Ronnie joined.
Pray tell me young man, how many huge great hits did they have before Ronnie, and how many after?
Who is James Bay anyway.

Maing photos and videos is easy. Few nice young

Hi TooTough,
Any news about "The Train Song" and "Havana"?
Someone posted "The Train Song" is the instrumental backingtrack (version without lyrics) of All About You.
"Havana" made me think of Havana Moon by Chuck Berry and Cuba last week.

Give the boy a break, he was paid to be unwaveringly positive and support it. It's just a promotion piece.

Just a question, sorry if its been answered on previous pages but i was so enjoying the 3D performance of Satisfaction, i just wondered if the rest of the Hyde Park gig has been recorded in 3D.

Hey, Will be flying in from Singapore landing on Monday the 25th and was planning to hit the exhibit around 3pm. Rockman interested? any others? Any idea on if there would be lines then, I figure a Monday at 3pm should be safe but? recommendations on a pub to hit for a few beforehand? Thanks all….Was listening to Nils Lofgrin's "Keith Don't Go" today…that is a killer tribute to the man…..

I asked Patrick Woodroffe, who has worked with the Stones for years on stages, that question. He said no. He said they only did Satisfaction, and did it frame by frame. He said "It cost a fortune."
Maybe if they sell enough pyjamas and foosball tables they will invest in making a full show in 3D.

That's strange, why would they have to do 3D "frame by frame" ? Maybe the display at the exhibition is something special ? The cameras at HP1 and HP2 were "native" 3D cameras and I can't see why a 3D Blu Ray couldn't be made from that footage.

Found out from someone who went today that they sell t-shirts and other clothing etc. in the shop.
If anyone is visiting in next few days could they say what design t-shirts etc. and if anything really worth getting.
Cheers in anticipation.
