thank you, I pulled out my Four FLICKS (I love that since I noticed it, the fcuk part i mean) and recalled that it was three shows (whether they are actual shows and complete or not I do not know) and one doc disk, the three shows were one stadium show, one arena show and one theatre show. I went to an arena show around about that time, don't recall exactly when it was, and I thought that was an excellent experience, so I should at least give that one a whirl.

I don’t know where videojames got his info but I worked at the BBC from 1987 and Knebworth was virtually the first thing I looked for in the archives. There was only ever the under an hour footage, they never shot the whole show.

They do have a full Knebworth in their vault.
They also have a full New Orleans 1978 (but Fort Worth was preferred for the 2011 release).
Fort Worth was filmed for a 1978 concert movie (a la 'Ladies and Gentlemen') that ended up being scrapped.It was always an obvious contender for an archives release.
You mean the 'Some Girls Live in Texas '78' from Fort Worth that was released on Blu Ray that I've had since 2011?

Well I would hold my breath for audio of both complete El Mocambo shows, and would probably have a heart attack if they were accompanied by video of those sets or even a compilation from them.
Rest of it is pretty expendable if you ask me. Oh, Video Rewind, that would be great to have on digital disk if some sort.
I have FOUR FLICKS but I believe I never bothered to watch it or at least not all of it. Is there any particularly good stuff on there or is it the typical for the periods set performed in a mailed in fashion?

I found FOUR FLICKS to be excellent. A really awesome overall presentation of everything. There's also some good music performances in it.
THE BIGGEST BANG is awful, on the other hand. Whoever was in charge did an extremely poor imitation of FOUR FLICKS.

Yes. It was originally intended to be released in cinemas in the late 70's, but was shelved. The 2011 release was therefore an 'archive' project.

And is that footage (at the BBC archive) basically news footage, or is it actual pro shoot concert footage with decent stereo sound? I am betting the former, basically one or two B&W cameras with a couple of sound techs wandering around getting footage for news broadcast.

Maybe that should stay locked up! Pretty bad! LOVE YOU LIVE and LA FRIDAY are plenty enough, don't ya think?
Wow. Street Fighting Man - think that's where Whip Comes Down came from? Was Knebworth's Jagger's worst ever (vocal) performance?

None of the Four Flicks shows are complete. There's always a couple of songs missing.
jbwelda,I recommend watching the theatre show too (Paris Olympia). Great versions of That's How Strong My Love Is and Worried About You, for example.

>I certainly don't expect any other leftover studio recordings to be released.
Not sure why you would say that, I would think that GHS's reception would lead to a realization that the unreleased studio stuff is a cash cow. Mick seems to have an obsession with "finishing" the songs but even without that I think the stuff sells and that was proven by GHS among other releases. They sell not only by themselves (as in "singles" release) but also re-sell the album to those who already have it and don't particularly have any reason to buy a replacement.
So I would think we will see more of that, particularly if and when Mick eases up on the importance of "completion" when it comes to releasing old material.

Of all the times they choose not to follow The Beatles, they skimp on studio recordings with anthologocial releases.
