I never bought the Four Flicks boxset. So this is a no brainer to buy.
Lets see if theres anoter release from this era coming.
You get the documentary Tip Of The Tongue and Tip Of The Tongue Boston Backstage as a bonus.Quote

Is there anything better on a SD bluray than on a DVD (apart from the uncompressed audio)?

Some blu-ray discs have better sound quality. When available i always get the blu-rayQuote

A no brainer would be to buy either a used copy of Four Flicks for about $7 USD (including shipping), or brand new for $21.99 USD.

I doubt that. 720p or 480p on DVD will look exactly the same as 720p or 480p on Bluray. Yes, it's faster and it has a highter storage capacity, but when the data on both discs is the same, you won't see a difference on your TV.
As for the artwork: I kinda like it actually.
Because they can make more money if everyone has to buy the double CD + Blueray set for 30€.Quote

Why is there not a standalone dvd or bluray? I don't care about the cd's, I can listen to it on Spotify.

There seems to be a lot of complaints about this release.
-ugly artwork
-poor audio mix
-poor video quality
-no standalone blu-ray
-too few bonus tracks
I'm at least happy to have a new restored version of this show since it's one of my favourite Stones shows!

As much as I enjoyed that MSG show, and I do have FOUR FLICKS, I can't see any reason to spend money on this.
MOCAMBO?
Absolutely.
Maybe if the previous show, which was recorded, with a huge two song difference, was included I might be more interested in buying it.

Twickenham and Wiltern were recorded in widescreen, but MSG and Olympia only in 4:3. Would be nice to know how many shows from 2002-2003 are available in widescreen.
The upscaled SD blu-ray releases looks pretty good on a modern flat screen considering the source material. I have a VCR connected to my modern tv and the difference in quality between an old tape and these new upscaled releases is pretty big. Compared to the Four Flicks dvd this new blu-ray might not be a big improvement though.
I guess all the cameras used for the MSG show were broadcast equipment in standard definition so recording in a higher definition had not brought any benefit. HD as a consumer medium began around 2005 or so.Quote

I don't get why the MSG show isn't in 1080p HD. Besides the obvious answer, they didn't recorded it in HD.

Really? We didn't have HD TV in 2002? We still had the square TVs in 2002?
I looked up the history of HD TV and it didn't start in the until 2004 which wasn't the standard back then. I remember around 2010 we switched from analog to digital TV.
The technology was available as the other Four Flicks shows were in HD.
I remember reading HBO paid for everything to do with producing that MSG HBO special and the Stones received ownership rights to it. Does anyone remember that Story?
