I'd scrap #1 & #7 because theyre not good movies, #4 because whilst a good film, its musical content regarding the Stones career is minimal, #8 because its not really a good performance and one show from '76 is enough, #10 because almost all of the songs are edited and the PPV from the tour is miles better on every level, #11 because the DVD doesnt do it justice and there are far better material to choose from from that tour, #12 and #13 because theyre incomplete recording and the full broadcasts are superior. One 2006 show is enough. Personally I prefer Rio for the spectacle, plus I think its a great show. As concerts, its a toss-up between them both but the historical significance of Rio gives it the edge.
That leaves you with :
02) Rock'n'Roll Circus (1968)
03) The Stones In The Park (1969)
05) Gimme Shelter (1969, not 1970)
06) Ladies And Gentlemen (1972)
09) Knebworth Fair (1976)
14) Let It Bleed (Arte 2002)
15) Four Flicks (2003)
16) Rio De Janeiro (2006)
Unfortunately, youve ignored everything pre-Beggars Banquet, when the Stones really made their reputation. Somewhat unfair to basically disregard the Brian Jones era almost entirely
So, throw in these 9 instead of the 9 deleted above :
TAMI Show 1964
Ready Steady Go compilations 1964-66 (I'd give these the edge over the Sullivan shows because the entire band usually performed live)
LA Blues (LA Forum 1975)
Fort Worth 1978 (ideally if the full show comes into circulation - it exists)
Hampton TV broadcast 1981
Tokyo 26.2.90 (better show than Atlantic City '89)
Rio de janeiro (Voodoo Lounge) 1995
Stripped TV special 1995
Buenos Aires 1998
