Watching this on blu ray .The sound is brilliant,but how many head shots of the band do we need ?

It's because the blu-ray uses the feed for the stage video screens.

Do you mean if there's a DVD of show , the footage will be different?

Leeds 1982

When The Rolling Stones wowed 120,000 fans at Leeds Roundhay Park

I was there, brilliant show ,and I think Ian Stewart's last one

Same video feed on the official dvd.

They only have the feed from the stage video screens, so it's on both Bluray and DVD. But since it's the last show with Ian Stewart, we should be glad there is a film at all.

I hate watching this concert. Cameras drive me nuts.

The cameraman didnt know how to zoom out

Insane after show fireworks!

Great during show guitar works

I was at this show as well. The band was never the same after this show. They definitely lost a step not having Stu play with them anymore.

My third show in a month and this time in daylight!!

The footage is much, much better than nothing. Bill gets extensive coverage too, unlike the days they'd go to him for a split second, and then immediately back to Jagger. I was watching it last night. It's like Hampton '81, but jacked up.

Wembley from '82 is a similar big-head video from the screens.
Gotta love that one for the She's So Cold train-wreck; one of their best live cock-ups!!!

The shooting was not intended to create a DVD, but only as a scenic supplement for those who were there, thanks to the big screens.
Only some tracks (the first ones) had full coverage, I guess due to the fact that they were made available to TV for the news.
But I'm happy they released it, this is the classic release for collectors fans.

This is something that a generation of people are missing, TV was 4:3 not 16:9, Video Screens were originally for the people at the back to see close ups, it wasn't until Voodoo Lounge that The Stones used them to augment the show

Tis a good show in it's very fast pace as the Stones were eager and anxious to finish up the tour and go on Holiday and rest . Which doesn't bother me versus the annoying and headache inducing camera work from the live feed .

I remember them on Steel Wheels being used to 'augment' the show. Especially recall '2000 Light Years', and 'It's Only Rock and Roll'.

DVDs didn't even exist at this point. And the screens were brand new - I think they tried them out for the first time at the end of the 1981-tour.

The face shots were just a service to the people in the audience who couldn't see anyone of them up there, methinks.

We can hear Mick a few songs in, say: "Can we turn on the tv?"

The first screens were as early as 1972 actually. Washington DC and Pittsburgh. And some later shows also had screens, Largo 1975 comes to mind as being mentioned. But obviously not as huge as the later screens.

I think those screens were the venues's screens, used for college basketball etc.

I'm pretty sure the Stones brought their own screen (for stadium shows) for the first time in 1981.

Oh you meant that way. That's right they didn't bring their own screen in the 70s.

There were screens at the Knebworth Festival in 1976. Maybe not provided by the band, though.
