Ready to get pumped up for this summer's stadium tour in Europe? Pop in Four Flicks London and rock out to the opening number of Brown Sugar!

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways:

1) Look at that crowd size! When the camera pans over the field just before Keith's entrance, one can't help but gape in awe. A veritable sea of humanity - and better than that, a sea of stones' fans! (You can see one blond-haired young fellow going particularly wild as Mick begins the first verse.)

2) Keith's opening riffage - really stong, impressive rhythm playing. The best other 'nu-era' version of this on Flashpoint.

3) Mick! A fireball of energy! He allows himself a cheeky smile at the opening when he comes out, too - its great. Wonderfully inept dancing at the end, too - and he sticks out his tongue at Charlie . . .which brings me to . . .

4) Charlie himself. Stifling a laugh when Mick gives him the look - great bangin' for him on this one too. Love his initial hit - BOOM!

5) And Ronnie . . Ronnie . . . Ronnie! Does he even play on this one? Hardly, but goddamn if he doesn't do what he does best! Smoke cigarettes, pump his crotch, and wave at the audience. It's what we know and love him for, after all . . .

It's not bad for Latter Day Stones.

a big admission from you, i realize . . .

Forty Niks, I myself could have written this post. Especially the dancing in the end! Brilliant!

Yes, nice review of Brown Sugar.
You could have a line or two about Chuck Leavell though.

OK, then I'm not going to post my " #6 Chuck description" here.

in fairness, he has worse moments on FF London . . . check out his chipmunk teeth at the beginning of the (terrible) renditon of Star, Star

Hey, I like 4 Flicks. Most of it.
And when I come across something I don't like, I take no pleasure in witnessing.

Take Sympathy from the same Twickenham show. I don't smirk at all, I get kind of sad. Ya gotta understand this...

I do call things as I see them. But I'm not all "bash anything they do now". If it's good, it's good. If it's bad, it's bad - no matter what era or for whatever reason.

you seem so *absorbed* by what you don't like -
go on about the parts you do dig! that's what it's for

Popping it in right now for a quick watch.......

awesome, eh?

RW's two note solo on TD from the same show is brilliant as well as his solo on
YCAGWYW the space he gives the whole band to operate as he plays his octaves up and down the fretboard.

The whole Twickenham-show is a burner!!
The stupid thing is the artifical handclappings and that Keith walks on stage, too early, and then, when he starts to play, he walks on stage again...

When you see Keith walk on stage the first time I think it's actually a clip from Amsterdam Arena.

Good job it wasn't the other Twickenham date...Keith buggered up the intro on that one. [just for a change ;^) ]

Check out JJF from Twickers too. When Mick and Keef goes out on the right ramp together I almost piss my pants. They're so cool.

I like JJF from the Madison Square Garden show. But, the only problem, as I recall, is I think that's the show where the camera focuses in on Chuck during HTW, and he wiggles his tongue at the camera?

Four Flicks is the best Stones official release of any kind post-Some Girls.

a great souvenir of a terrific tour.

Well, it's not what I know and love him for. I'd rather hear him play good guitar than see him pose anyday. Ah well, to each their own I reckon...

Well, the Bridges To Babylon DVD is also great, but there are no features, I'm afraid.

Great version of Brown sugar. Really gets the crowd going. And dare I say that YGMR after it is good too. Id really like to see this whole show inluding dont stop and start me up near the end.

That is a awesome version of Brown Sugar

another reason why this version is cool is that on that tour when they did brown sugar as an opener or on the B stage it didnt have the whole horn section playing along during the last part, just bobby, they way it used to be.

er..no. The ABB special edition was nothng more than a cash-in, to be honest. Nothing on there they couldnt have released when the album came out, Two decent unreleased songs, a so-so documentary and a couple of forgettable promo videos is hardly earth shattering.

(I'll take your word on the Stripped Cd-Rom. Youre obviously one of the few people who have been able to watch it on their PC)

LMAO!!!! (that was a joke, right?)

Mick's singing on Wild Horses is fantastic here. Worthy of live release, and I'm tempted to say the best version I've ever heard him sing minus the album.

There.

Happy withssoul - who ever you curiously are???

Apart from the concerts on FF where's the earth shattering stuff on there? The AC/DC doc, the Solomon Burke doc? Of course the special edition was a cash-in (It reeks of it), but the release was very good. Great new songs. You gotta admit that the quality of the songs is the most important, and that these are what drags the CD up.

It's just stuff from the VL CD-Rom. The quality of the songs counts a loy though.
