Well, cool and all, but there really is NO reason whatsoever for them to put out Paint If Black and Honky Tonk Women and Miss You again. Certainly there were, oh my, "other" songs to offer.
What a waste of time.
Instead of doing something inventive they just play DVD extras.
Stupid.

I wouldn't call it stupid. More like laziness. They didn't need to do anything else than throw out the stuff they already have released. Something that once was something people needed to pay to get, is now free. Nothing new under the sun.
But then again, they didn't need to do that. Nor us to pay one cent to get the stuff. Or watch it anyway. I think it is nothing but some free bonus stuff, a nice gesture from them during the coronavirus period.
Personally I am happy with it: I wouldn't buy the OLE film to get that stuff. Nice to have it free, alongside watching the movie in Netflix if I feel like. So for me it is "rare stuff" in the sense that it is earlier released as a bonus material to some movie. Besides, "rare" doesn't mean "not released before". They once made an album called RARITIES based on b-sides and whatever, but for a completist there was nothing unhearable there except one live track or something if memory serves. But not every Rolling Stones fan is a completist.

Seems to me it's all business, 24FPS. No one in the organization seems to care. Unless money could be made from it. If they only had one fan within the organization who cared for the longstanding fans.
Who came up with something extra for the loyal fanbase. But I guess it hasn't even crossed their minds to do anything like that.

Our definition of RARE is different from the casual fan, because the RS create these things for the masses. Not everyone lives and breathes for RS rarities and probably would not recognize it if they heard it. Still hoping for a rare surprise for the diehards though.

+1. Haven't bought a Stones video since 25x5, don't know anything about Olé. Loved seeing these shows I attended, and going over my notes from the time. Even took a bathroom (+ kitchen and laundry) break during Miss You.

Same.
Didn't attend and had only watched clips before.
Loved it.
Excited to see what comes next week.
