Well alright...thanks.

Thanks for posting!

....$20 bucks for a silk scarf .... mmmmmmmm babeeee that's a bargain ....



ROCKMAN

Got it some years ago for the same price. It really isn't worth any more money but for this price go and get it

No. All the cheap scarves and mini-poster reproductions don't make up for a DVD with terrible sound. I got it on Blu-Ray and it's slightly better.

After ordering and waiting a week, I just received notice from Amazon that the
item is really not available and my funds were refunded.

there's this:
[www.uncut.co.uk]

frpm uncut:
"...Certainly, this is a film about which no-one seems to be able to get their story straight – but the main plot details run as follows. When he was assigned the task of documenting the tour, photographer/film-maker Robert Frank had no appetite for recording concert footage, and so commissioned out the work. Staying within the community of underground film-makers to which he and his co-filmmaker Daniel Seymour belonged, Frank chose Steve Gebhardt, a veteran of off-the-wall film-making with among others, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, to do the filming. Roland Binzer, an ad man, directed the finished piece.

At the time of the ’72 tour, it seemed all parties were working on one film, a work where Frank’s candid backstage footage and the live shows caught by Gebhardt would seamlessly join. What in fact happened was a parting of the ways: Frank and Seymour keeping the faith with their version of events (thus starting the still-rumbling saga of their beautiful, freewheeling documentary @#$%& Blues). By way of a salvage job, meanwhile, the live footage found life as Ladies And Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones.

The plan was to create a “virtual concert experience” – even to the extent of the film, and the complex quad sound rig it required, itself going on tour in 1974. Keith Richards, apparently, worked closely with the film-makers to create an authentic quadraphonic sound (which is still, in its 5.1 rendering here, excellent). Jagger, however, seemed to have lost interest in the venture, and without his momentum behind it, the project vanished from view – it was last available on VHS, in Australia, sometime in the early 1980s.

For this substantial DVD release, Jagger has worked up some enthusiasm. There he is in the DVD extras, having a brief chat to introduce the film, albeit preferring to talk about the subsequent, 1975 Stones tour of the USA – though he does say he quite liked Chip Monck’s lighting design for the 1972 tour. He’s not much more candid in a 1972 interview from The Old Grey Whistle Test (also included), but does reveal to Richard Williams that he’s not enormously concerned about the threat to the Stones’ pre-eminence being led by T.Rex. This thoughtfully-compiled package even has footage of the Stones rehearsing for the 1972 tour in a Swiss cinema .

If the pedestrian fixed camera footage means this is not exactly for the casual viewer, for the Stones freak, Ladies And Gentlemen is fantastic stuff. It is, after all, the only official document of the full Exile band, Bobby Keys, Nicky Hopkins, Jim Price et al, in session. And it does give you an inkling what seeing that band might have been like. In his 2010 interview, Jagger says he feared the Stones were sometimes a “sloppy” band – but had been relieved to learn they weren’t always so.

Ladies And Gentlemen… supports that view: from the opening “Brown Sugar” through “Bitch”, “Love In Vain” and “Sweet Virginia” the band are tight but loose, utterly in their element. The view extends to the wider picture, too. Though this was a promotional tour for Exile, and behind the scenes marked the debut of a hugely efficient touring machine, the set never seems geared to “plug” the new album, the explicit drama of the band’s 1969 concerts having evolved to a more intuitively swinging show.

Ultimately, if @#$%& Blues supplies the view of life behind the velvet rope, Ladies and Gentlemen supplies the below-stairs view of the Stones in 1972. This is the popcorn experience, the view of the T-shirt buyer, the $7 ticket holder. As the house lights go up, and Chip Monck announces “we’re through” there begins the sound of a Spitfire’s engines starting. A nod, perhaps, to the band’s private jet. Or maybe to the nature of the touring life itself. Per Ardua Ad Astra, you could say.

What is the best sound on this currently availale for sale in the states? Or anywhere that could ship here. I'd like to buy a few for gifts but I want to make sure they'd be getting really good sound and presentation. One of these people dosen't know much about The Stones at all. I could copy my own DVD for them but I'd really prefer giving them something brand new. It's nice when an event gift is properly packaged and such. What is currently available that looks and sounds pretty decent? TY
