I saw "At The Max" on IMAX. It was also released on DVD and VHS. Still have it. I can't remember if I have it on DVD or VHS though. I don't think it's great at any point though. The live feeling is somehow
lost despite the format and the rails on stage. It feels fabricated if you get my drift. The one show to catch from that era is "Atlantic City". It's the Hampton of the 1990/91 tour, so to speak.

I also saw it at the theater when released, and still have it on VHS (in storage). I didn't really like the format of IMAX itself, and yes it feels very fabricated/artificial- sort of a slapdash compilation that didn't really flow well, and the band almost come across as caricatures on the BIG screen. Having watched some clips of it fairly recently on youtube, it doesn't seem to have aged very well either - it's all a bit hokey. Mick's goofy/manufactured hair style didnt help, but on a positive note we get to see Bill on his last tour.

For Bill on the last tour, Tokyo Dome is much better. I have Urban Jungle taped from a TV broadcast in the States, with 2000 Light Years From Home in 3D. I would see Atlantic City '89 on boot DVD at flea markets I used to go to, but held out for an official release. I might even have the Miami Pay Per View from Voodoo Lounge on VHS somewhere. The acoustic set was good on that one. Not much interest in the BTB set.

Correction: I said 90/91 tour. I meant the 89/90 tour of course. Sorry for that. I'm getting to t-h-a-t age now, I guess... Look out for more mistakes to come...

"Eagle Rock, the UMG-owned leading producer and distributor of music programming for broadcast, DVD, Blu-Ray, TV and Digital Media, have expanded their global distribution rights to the band’s extensive long-form audio visual catalogue. As part of the agreement, Eagle Rock will also re-issue several classic concert films from their archives including: Atlanta (1989); Steel Wheels (1989-90); Voodoo Lounge (1994); Bridges to Babylon (1997-1998); Four Flicks (2002) and Bigger Bang (2005-2006)."

I guess the 1994 concert film they will re-issue is the New Jersey concert then? Pretty mediocre release from my remembering but I hope we atleast get the full show this time.

"Voodoo Lounge Live", the Miami Pay Per View was released on VHS and later on DVD.

Aha I forgot about that one, hope they include all 27 songs this time then.

From band manager Joyce Smyth's interview with Dave Roberts of Music Business Worldwide:

You recently signed a wide-ranging deal with Universal. Can you tell us what that deal entailed and why it was a good one for you?

We’ve worked with Universal for a decade now and they’ve been doing a terrific job at keeping the catalog fresh and alive, and we’ve done new product with them as well. The deal was up for renewal and this new one is great because now they own Eagle Rock and, of course, Bravado, which means we can have a home for the audio and the audio visual and the merch.

Also, key for me was to try and look to the future for our archive, because it is amazing having a 50-plus year archive, some of which is unseen and unheard. But it’s also quite difficult, because if you’re trying to deal with that on your own, the cost of digitization, the cost of just making sure this thing doesn’t disintegrate, and actually having it properly catalogued, it’s a big job.

Historically we’ve tried to do that on our own, but having that project under the Universal umbrella, while we still own it all, is just a huge boon, it really is.
It doesn’t obligate us to bring out any particular content, I’ve made sure we have full control on what we bring out, in collaboration with Universal. It just means we’ve got it housed and properly looked after. And for the future I think that’s incredibly important.

[www.musicbusinessworldwide.com]

When reissuing old "new" material, those within Universal, who are directly dealing with it, hopefully learn from that big mistake: The re-release of "Exile" was a huge success, but (maybe thinking that all next re-released would automatically be as successful) after that they handled the re-release of both Some Girls and even more so of Sticky Fingers dreadfully. Some Girls was huge in the USA when it came out in 68. They totally missed chances to use that fact and impact.
Sticky Fingers was the jewel on the crown of the band when it appeared as "the new face" of the band. How could they ever re-release that beautiful diamond is such a poor fashion?
I know it is easy to criticise, but we're supposed to deal with real professionals UMG, don't we?

But in 21st century Stones Land, it’s totally collaborative; they each play a huge part.
It’s band meetings, everything’s aired, everything’s discussed and everybody is involved.

I wonder what ABKCO would sell for?

50 million? Whatever the sum it'd be nothing from the band's pov, but psychologicaly it would be quite stiff to buy back sth that belongs to you.
It'd feel like extortion.
But I'm sure Mick and Keef will want to close this before they make the big jump to the other side of the rainbow.

No incentive for ABKCO to sell....the Stones income probably keeps them afloat.
And eventually the recordings will enter the Public Domain anyway.
