They're still nowhere near as redundant as the Grateful Dead.

Well, with around 187 official live releases out, there's bound to be a few that have similar - though not identical - songs in their sets. At least the Dead never played the same setlist (not even close!), they kept things fresh; whenever they played 3 nights in one city it was extremely rare for them to repeat one single song.
Deadheads are happy campers :-) No setlist bitching and moaning from them!

re: GD, why bother is that they are just in the past few years putting out the REALLY good stuff, which, predictably, for me anyway, is from their beginning up to about 1972. Pigpen days basically. After really not liking the GD much since then, I have really been enjoying all the early live recordings they have been releasing. Most of this was previously available in trading circles I suppose, but I was never into that scene for the GD so its all a revelation to me, especially 1969 and back. Their studio LPs, especially Anthem of the Sun and Aoxomoxoa, are really great and the backdating they have done to them makes them all the more enjoyable.
And of course the connections between the GD and the Stones run deep and long, if not always amiable.

That's precisely where you are wrong about the Dead, GasLightStreet. They sounded drastically different in different eras - not unlike the Brian Jones, Mick T, Ron Wood changes in sound.
The Dead in 69, 72, 77, 89/90 are totally different. Some swear by 77 while others think back-up singer Donna ruins everything she touches. Others swear by the resurgence in 89/90 but howl at the plink-plink keyboards of Brent Mydland.
I admit they are an acquired taste, but then so is coffee and red wine.

I really liked No Security. Besides having the best cover ever, the newer material better than studio versions. And I like all the others even the Dave Mathews guest spot.

The only thing I remember from the No Security CD is Sister Morphine, which was truly rare, and great.

Corinna with Taj Mahal deserves a mention?

Exilestones: Beast of burden was released as a b-side single to "Still Life". Going to a Go Go was the a-side. See above.

I knew a guy from school who played the 12" Beast Of Burden b-side that I gave for his birthday over and over again for the entire evening
A Still Life highlight that wasn't on Still Life...

I am now enjoying, for the first time, Hampton Blu-ray.
This is amazing!
By the way, I do love Still Life, I was 11 back in 1982. Everybody I knew had this LP and it was a symbol of a generation here in Portugal.

Is there a decent version ONLINE of the movie that I can buy? I noticed the DVD runs a little too fast.

The 1981/82 tour was called the last tour by many. And in a way it was. It was the last tour with the original 6 stones, Stu included. The last tour with a successful string of albums behind it (SG, ER, TY).
It was the last tour where the warhorses were not older than 10-15 years. It's hard to understand a Stones fan not liking it. Or preferring newer material over it. Even though it's not flawless by any means.
