Maybe someone already noticed, but I was looking at the package,and unfolding it,
and thinking about having it framed to hang on the wall? and then it hit me....Hmmmmm...??? Where have I seen this before??
Is the package design with the four pictures layout "borrowed" from the now famous IORR shirt design?

The most amazing thing about the DVD is the "collection" of Rolling Stones"
live concerts which are in my library now. From the 1981 tour to 2007I have
(ok, well all do) excellent documentation of my travels, or at least what
it looked like. Somehow the latest version is always the best of the bunch.
Based on that, I only needXX more performances over the next XXyears to
fill my collection, and if it gets better every time, it will be
infinitely better.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Stones/Music on the DVD is AWESOME, but I hold the Stones to
a "state of the art" standard. Remember the interactive CD-rom
from VooDoo Lounge? That was "state of the art". Today it is possible
to do a lot with DVDs. DVDs offer many things not possible with VHS tape.
The Stones ignored the possibilites, on disc #1 anyway.
Review of disc #1
Rated C+
THE ROLLING STONES KICK ASS ON THIS DVD!!!!
10 Years ago I would give it an B+ overall, with a A+ for SUBJECT MATTER,The Stones
and a C for video capturing/camera/editing/angles.
I blame Hammish Hamilton, Jacob Cohl ScottLong and MPL Media for the problems.
Corinne Sousoulas' Still DVD menus are great.
I see an HD consultant, however the DVD is not HD Blu ray or HDDVD.
I always enjoy Bob Clearmountain's music mixes. VooDoo lounge extended versions are awesome.
But the top name is the boy's name and CPI, and we expect better work from them.
This is no longer the age of the VCR tape.
In 2007 I rate disc #1 overall C+. I have only watched disc #1( The NBA
and the KC Royals(kicked STLouie's ass) were both on last night
If I had'nt watch too closely, and based it mainly sound, not sight, I rate it A+.
WHY IS THIS DVD SO LOW TECH?
DVDs can be created which allow us choice of angle.
This is especially true with a 90 minute show, not to bitch or anything.
Sway..I really like this song, but not the best version here.
The SWAY I heard, in person, in WEEcheTA was awesomer.
Jagger Jumpin Boppin Around during "Get of my cloud", like a teenager.
Who are the people in the crowd closeup shots? why?
I attended the LIVE TAPING of B2Bridges to Toyland, or was it
babes in Babylon...something like that, in St Louie.
anyway
The B2B taping blacked out the entire crowd except for the few "people"
they chose to display, and they were very different people from those shown
on the Pay per view. I just wonder. Who are these people? They ADD NOTHING
to the production. They seem more like goofy looking "props". Think the
"placed"
beauties at the Beacon, except these folks are NOT beauties.
It actually distacts from the action on the show/DVD.
The B-stage "floating" through the crowd.
The arial shots during Sympathy.
WAY TOO MUCH CAMERA ACTIVITY; editing / zooming / jump shooting.
Fixed angles would be better. LESS zooming shots.
I WANT MY CHOICE OF VIEWING ANGLE.
I WANT MY MTV..( for those of you too young, MTV is music television,
you know?, where they actually show music on a televison?)
They should give us AT LEAST a choice of viewing angles on the DVD.
Keef and his Sympathy lead. In 30 shows which I have seen
since 1981 I have only heard it "album close" twice.
Granted.... have YOU ever tried to play it?
I need a capo to cheat it out. Did he play it with a capo
on the album?,,,,,not to bitch or anything.
HEY LOOK!!! Charlie uses a Sennheiser microphone just like mine.
Keef is a better "weaver player" than "lead player", duh.
The kewlass lighting effects when Keef appears to be playing in HELL,
at the end of Symapthy, with red backlighting.
WHOO WHOO WHOOOOoOOOO OOOoOO OOOooOOOO OOOoooOOOO
HEY..Look at Mick's RED feather jacket......He has more costumes than Cher.
Are there any better opening chords than JJF????????
I always sit close, so the distant shots of the stage wings live in action
are NEWkewlinteresting looking...arial shots are KEWL!!!!
JJF!!!!!! greatest song of all time... for now
EVERYBODY SAY YEAH!!!!!!!EVERYBODY SAY YEAH!!!!!!!EVERYBODY SAY
YEAH!!!!!!!EVERYBODY SAY YEAH!!!!!!!
Satisfaction..greatest song of all time ...for now
Who are the people in the crowd closeup shots? why?,
I AM NOT JEALOUS, but it really distracts, and If they want
to "dose" peope with being on camera, then capture shots
of 100 faces, not 3 goofballs....or goofballettes.
OOPS....now wait.... Theat chick was hot....if the crowd people shots were
sexy looking and "showing some TnA" then I would think differently.
HEY HEY HEY !!!!!! HEY HEY HEY !!!!!!
close up shot of audience fingers in the air????? why??
The airplane shots are great.
TWO security gaurds running out with Mick at end of Brown Suger-larry moe
curly?
FIREWORKS...always a crowd pleaser
AWESOME SHOTS OF STAGE CROWD at end.
WAIT!!!!
THAT IS WAY TOO SHORT!!!
90 miutes exactly?? even with timeouts, what was missing???
BITCH
START ME UP
CANT ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
interesting...
I could have done without the cowboy song, and I dont need SMU and I
CAGWYW....
,
but Bitch is always a great song to have....not to Beeeeaaaatch or anything..
