Got to see it on PBS last night. Really enjoyed it. I have the audio release but it was fun to see it and they were in great form. Thanks to YouTube, we all know there's been some sketchy gigs as the boys get older, but they really had it all together in this recent filmed gig as well as in Havana. My only complaint was that I would prefer if they tacked on the interviews at the end, rather than disrupt the continuity of the show. Still very enjoyable and I recorded it so now I don't have to buy it! (Just gotta find a way to edit out the money-begging segments!)

Didn't the dvd come with all the audio releases, or is my memory failing me here?
EDIT: The download release didn't come with a DVD, of course!

Not sure about that. I bought the digital audio release from GooglePlay; that's the version that only had the Fingers songs minus the other opening and closing songs.

Watched it for the first time from a hospital bed at midnight a couple days ago. A nice reprieve from a lot of chaos. Woke up and tuned in just before "Sister Morphine" started.
Thanks for the heads up back on Wednesday 3/7.

Caught this last minute after taping it a couple days ago. Everyone's basically said what I will but I thought it was great. I'm not "down" on recent Stones stuff. I actually love Shine A Light and know I'm in the vast minority on thinking thats a really spirited raw performance. Having said that, I questioned whether 10 years down the line they could do the same thing to me. Its one thing at the shows, which I saw Philly 2 2013 with Mick Taylor and it was outstanding. But on video, the last few releases like Havana Night and whatever other ones there have been (Sweet Summer Sun?) have been fine but largely a big "who cares?" to me. Its the same songs played the same way and while they still do it well, I've seen it enough already to lessen my impact.
I was blown away by this. I really loved it. It could have been a number of things: I was snowed it, I had had a bit to drink (because I was snowed in), I was running out of any other programming to watch, but it totally hooked me. I've had the iTunes album live release from a few years ago and thought that sounded ok (frankly I was a bit disappointed) but having the video and what sounds like way better sound really changed my mind. For something that was a one off, it was filmed beautifully I thought, and again for a one off and first night of the tour, I thought they sounded fantastic. Really spirited, really into it. It was a cool novel idea, even if as Hairball says the concept was questionable in terms of having a point (but hey I'm not gonna argue them playing all of Sticky Fingers!).
I think it totally reinvigorated them though and turned what was basically a star studded club one off into a really memorable evening captured for fans. Cause while those at the show probably had a great time, its definitely a treat for us that weren't there and adore this album and band. THIS is something actually new. The whole time watching it I was saying "I don't know why they wouldn't do stuff like this more often. They just killed it and they're only playing most of these songs once for the whole tour." Yes, its impossible not to note how missed Taylor (and Bobby Keys) were to this. Actually its not, because I thought Ronnie was great and sadly Keys can't be there no matter what. As a fan it infuriates me that they underused Taylor for the tour before this and then this one show on the next tour where it would make perfect sense for him to be there he's not... just the price of being a fan I guess. That would have just been a dream, but what we got is more than admirable. And I wouldn't have expected Taylor had we not had that tour before, but again this is great. I highly recommend it. By the end I was blasting Jumpin Jack Flash like I hadn't heard it in years when in general I can't turn it off quicker when it comes on. This was just excellent. They've still got it, I don't care what anyone wants to say about Vegas and all that. There are still enough of them and they still good enough for me to call them The Rolling Stones without being embarrassed.

I also recorded this on PBS and tried to watch it. Unfortunately though the band played surprisingly well Jagger's vocals became unbearable and I had to switch it off. It really brought home (once again) how far he has fallen. I probably just have to get a lot drunker to get through this travesty.
