I looked forward to the “new” Voodoo songs when they played them in '94. That tour, the band/stage design crew put a good effort into the production values on those new songs. Whether it was flashing “Internet” lights during Sparks, or screen graphics, it made it interesting to the casual fan as well.
Great List….it would have been fantastic to have the DC show be the ‘bonus’ so the New Jersey show, only sold on VHS, could be released in it’s entirety unedited!! As you know, the beginning of a tour, including some stage props, Voodoo Men, Choreography/Costumes originally during Love is Strong changed to Sympathy, song arrangements and song choices ALWAYS changes from the first week of the tour to the end of the tour. Glad to get this release but it does seem strange not to get the hit single "Love is Strong."quote=exilestones

USA & Japan Blu-ray's have the same region code. DVD's have different region codes.

Very strange indeed that their "big hit" from this era is not included on DVD with this release. If they were not happy with the Giants Stadium version, including the Love Is Strong version you highlighted from the MTV 1994 show would have been a nice addition to this set. Sometimes, I just do not understand the thinking of the Stones organization. A lot of these re-releases they do half-assed-like releasing half of the 1971 Roundhouse gig (which is clearly superior performance wise to the Leeds show) on the Sticky Fingers re-release.

The Roundhouse is great! Muck more kick-ass then Leeds '71. We don't know why the rest of Roundhouse wasn't released. There may have been a good reason. I'm thankful for what we got.
The MTV performance of "Love is Strong" is very good and would be the perfect fit for this project. I've noticed and heard inside stories about some of these projects. My conclusion is to why some of them are not better are two basic reasons. The projects are not done with the help of knowledgeable fans and money. It's business. quote=exilestones

I didn't get to see the Voodoo Lounge tour, but I do have a t-shirt from the tour that's 22 years old. It's pretty beat up but still wearable at concerts.
Commandment #2 of the rock n roll bible states:
"Thou shalt not wear a concert shirt from a concert you did not attend, lest you be smote"
Agree! There was a caveat added to the R & R bible commandment in 2015 *Zipcode:
If said rocker shows up online, on time, to try and painfully catch and surf a
LIVE FEED,
this constitutes a tee- shirt.

I’m glad to have been made aware of this amendment!

It would be sad if this release is considered "marred" by the omission of LIS. A CD single or a download of it could smooth things over. Sweet Summer Sun Japan CD 3 has bonus track Happy all alone so it's not out of the question. The 25yr old LIS has been troublesome twice in the past 4 months. (The other being that organ variation on the vinyl set from this summer).

pretty sure this show will get an official blu ray release someday,
even it will only be a japan only vault release.
Definitely...both of those songs suffer the same fate live.Quote

None of the live versions of this song really catches the mood from the studio take. Mick can't hit those low notes and Charlie is kind of rushing the beat. It was the same with Anybody Seen My Baby, some songs just don't work well live.
