I’d like to see footage from the point depot gigs in Dublin 2003. Both nights they were killer and I was right at the barrier night 1
Yes! I was there both nights at The Point all those years ago and right on the rail,a couple of metres from Keith on the second night.
Probably the best Stones gigs I have been to.
Met up with that great Stones fan , the sadly missed Tony Dunn and his mates in Dublin and had a great time.
Can't remember if there was any filming going on,but I got the audio of the gigs somewhere on CD.

That was nice. Not that I have not seen these songs played by this band live countless times before but c'mon... with that band and those songs one really can't lose...
So this was the tracks used partly in OLE OLE OLE and the whole performances were relaesed as some extras before? Anyway, since I haven't been any kind of completist for ages, this was fresh to me. Some impressions after one watch:
1. Argentinian crowds are incredible. Always a joy to see the enthusiasism and the interaction with the band. It is not that they are younger than in America or Europe, so are also Brazilian and Peruan, but the energy level is in a totally different level...
2. Keith was captured nicely in "Out of Control" and "Honky Tonk Women".. later too, but those two really got my attention. No matter how much he is critizied lately, damn the man got an incredible stage presence, looks cool and plays nicely with such an natural touch and style. The less is more, my friends, if you know what to do... (well, probably "You Got The Silver" was a bit so-so, but it doesn't matter... on with the show)
3. Altogether the interaction between the players on the stage, and how much fun they seem to have, there is something unique. That is a kind of latter-day Stones speciality, in which their experience and professionalism shows.
4. It always amazes me how different the Stones classics are. Played togeher they make such a great, variant show. Here is shown not even a half of their 'war horses', but think of the oriental sounds of "Paint It Black", the samba of "Sympathy For The Devil", the country blues meeting country rock "Honky Tonk Women", the disco beat of "Miss You", the blues opera of "Midnight Rambler"...
5. They really can't go wrong with "Midnight Rambler" ever, now can they? There was nothing wrong with the other versions, but damn with this song they somehow alawys find such an extra gear, and they play like it's the last bloody performance they ever'll do. Extra mention to Ronnie.
6. Ronnie altogether is a wonder. Jagger-like youngish habitus and plays with such a great sense of style. His significance to the band is tremendous these days, both visually and musically. With Keith those two still a helluva guitar duo.
7. For some reason, Jagger and Watts escaped my attention this time. Mick looked and sounded a bit tired during "Sympathy" I guess, but at the same time this latest day, less-moving Mick is sometimes even more dramatic than the more energetic one of the past. In "Rambler" he was in his own zone again.
8. I love the Rolling Stones.

Of course - me too.
They seem to have a different understanding of the term "rare performances", though.
Ok, this program is obviously not aimed at diehard fans like us, whoever's behind the concept had probably more the "general wide audience" or even the newbies they may have aquired with "Ghost Town" in mind.
But I seriously doubt that it does the band a favour when at least two out of just seven songs are so ridiculously lame performances like Sympathy For The Devil and You Got The Silver (one could possibly also include the travesty that Honky Tonk Women has turned into these days)?
I quit the program during You Got The Silver to avoid falling asleep. I guess Rambler was great like OOC and PIB and Miss You, well, like always.
I admire you, Doxa, for your stamina to not only watching the whole program but also writing a long and detailed essay about it. But that's because you're probably a lot younger than me!

Hopefully its not all In concert licks but bit of extra licks in the studio or maybe a soundcheck or two?
