I always enjoy the first part (receiving, not giving), don't care much for the second part.

"No Anchovies, Please"

almost as good as the real thing!

It's a facinating watch the first time, 2nd time and 3rd time - after that - one get tired of it. Some clips there are priceless, though - when they're driving around in that Chevy in...eh, Texas ?...and speak to some cowboys plus the live footage, and some other stuff
But the backstage clips are way too long - also, it has that annoying sound in the background in a lot of the scenes - like wind blowing through pipes - just like that "Erazerhead" movie from 1979. That was the movie about the couple who got a child - and it turned out to be a worm....- the father was slightly disappointed

You talkin' 'bout the song or the movie !?!?

The movie is OK but it's a one-time watch.

The song is great and deserves more airplay.

CS Blues from Woodstock 78 rehearsals will peel skull skin back....

100% agree!

C

When watching it I think we have to remeber that the documentary are 35 years old. Maybe shocking then,but now...no.And even boring, I got "Ladies and gentlemen" on the same disc. That one is shocking in a musical way and IMO the best live performenc ever made. Dont we want the glimmers to share the mick on Happy again?

Nelson, I'd like to get a copy of these if possible.

Thanks!

"No Anchovies, Please"

To have an opinion, I'd need to see it (hint). I've heard it was funny in parts, but don't know for sure (hint). Don't know where to get it (hint).

you can't always get what you want

Lol, i hope not! Enjoy the dvds and wish for more cause the 70s is the diamond mine.

I'm not sure how I would have reacted to the movie if I'd seen it back in the '70's, but I first saw it much later in life and I thought the scene around the band was vaguely creepy and depressing. I recall a scene in the movie where Jagger (I think with Taylor) is being driven around in the middle of nowhere and Jagger says something to the effect "at least we are away from all the hangers on" (paraphrased).

The latest "Exile" book about the south of France days touches on the same point. I skimmed the book and have seen the movie and the thought occurred to me "I can see why Taylor left." Heavier drugs becoming more and more prevalent, Jagger and Richards playing their mind games, all the hangers on...Yuck!

I do enjoy whatever music is in the movie, though.

I think it's boring - but also I could hardly understand a word as the DVD was quite bad quality.

Does anybody know when CSucker Blues surfaced on video ?
I my VHS from Santa Monica - exactly 15 years ago....has it been around forever?
The DVD versions are better, but it's still a long way to go to get it perfect

I love it. You'll never see such raw intimate uncensored footage of the Stones again. Parts of it convey boredom but that was the way it often was; a very truthful movie despite the contrived "orgy" on the plane. Brilliant live footage too, far more exciting than Ladies & Gentlemen (but only 4 songs unfortunately).

The film is ok, but doesn't bare up to too much repeated viewing imo. The same with the song.

the live stuff is great, some backstage stuff is pretty good, but i find myself fast forwarding through alot of it, especially the hangers on stuff,ehhh!!!!!

one of those things I end up watching once every couple of years or so.

I guess the thing is that it was firstly a documentary by an acclaimed filmmaker rather than a Stones self-promotional tour movie. Personally I think this objectivity makes for a far more interesting film but it wasn't designed for fans to watch once a week or something.

not my opinion, but an interesting read anyway:

If you watch it every couple of years and you're really in the mood for it, or it you want to show it to some friends, it's great. But it's easy to watch it too much and get sick of it.
