STONES’ CUBAN DOCUMENTARY TO PREMIERE AT THE TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
It was announced earlier this week that The Rolling Stones Olé Olé Olé!: A Trip Across Latin America will have its world premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, which runs from September 8 – 18.
Directed by Paul Dugdale, the film follows the band’s recent América Latina Olé tour, which culminated with a historic free gig in Havana, Cuba. This was the first time the band had played in Cuba so there were a few logistical issues to sort through. In the end, the band played a triumphant show to 1.2 million adoring fans. Watch this space for more news on the film.

Do the Stones documentaries, live albums, books, compilation albums and museum exhibitions now outnumber their original studio albums? Beats workin'.

Yep...by a large margin I'd suspect.
That said, in an age when live performance is once again the only real bread & butter for established music acts...it's inevitable that packaging and marketing those live peformances has become a much easier option than recording new music which will generate comparibly little pubilicy & revenue.
