Mick singing is not at the top, the guitars are lost, like the stones tried to play and sound as another band (FM rock ?). I do not recognize our men on this CD..
So I won't go to see the movie...
Am I the only one to have such an opinion ?

To compare the experience of a great show in the front rows with watching a movie even in the best format possible(Imax) is risky. Nothing can be better than to be at a show close to the stage on a night when The Stones are on fire. That experience is unique. Now anything that you are going to experience after that will probably be "not as great as that night". But don't be too extreme with yourself because you are only "punishing" ourself in that case by not going at a movie that is a good movie.
Rock and roll,
Mops

I was at both shows - Nice and Beacon. I was front row at Nice and there were aspects of that show that made it personally memorable (a funny interaction with the band after SOL) but the set list was rather blah, as I remember. I recall hearing some people say they "called in that show". So I wouldn't call it the best.

theyre an old band , what theyve been doing is excellent , but shine a light wasnt the best you can get these days.
we all should try to listen different stuff.
we cant always be talking like this about them , the big age for them has already ended , they can go on tour again , but what do you want from them ???
sal being a deception is exagerating , what should i want from them when they are at that age ? it always seems like fans want them to be like back in their days in the 70's. they cant be like that anymore.
accept them like they are. they are having bad nights more often , so what??? they did what they could , if they couldnt make it was that they just couldnt.
they cant be any super band anymore , it's already just memories from all of the fans. there are lots of new bands , something different to listen to , why always being arguing about if they were drunk , drugged , or if theyre old.
i have almost all of the abb bootlegs , for example , as some people said slane was amazing , i think it was , i can imagine the emotions every fan can get , but they cant play good anymore , i just listened to it , and it was so bad.
i dont think we can get anything from them. its hard to think about that with myself , i always love them and im always thinking about them , but they cant play like i would like them to anymore.I like them a lot , but all its over for them on stage. you have to accept it and if you dont want to , someday you will.

regarding a matter of taste - the 02 shows were a good example of how taste may differ. i thought the first was the best - mostly because of set list, though it seems that only gazza and i agree on that. everyone else liked the 2nd one best - because of the energy that was particularly high that night.
i guess i'm a setlist kind of gal and the setlist for the beacon wins hands down for me.
i think i remember our potential ticket dealings. i ended up getting "side-of-stage" tix released last minute from ticketmaster for the first two shows that put me practically on the stage for half-price. i'm sure you were able to sell yours?

>> it is usual for me to be deceived by one of their Live CD <<
aha (maybe!): are you confusing the words "deceived" and "disappointed"? and "deception"/"disappointment"?
i can be sorry for you for being disappointed, but i can't understand at all what "deceived/deception" have to do with it.
if you mean "disappointed" and "disappointment" it might help the whole discussion
if you used the "edit post" button to change the word in the thread title and in your posts.
just a suggestion - do whatever you want, of course ...
