Hi JKF, Well the better picture is the bluer one - the main problem with the 4REELS version is that the contrast has been pushed to the very limit, which means that midtones dissapear. As I've said before the best version of C.S. BLUES is actually sourced from the same version as 4REELS but without a lot of the degradation that so bedevils the 4REELS copy - which is anyway incomplete a

Well Juan it came on a DVDR with another little snippet reportedly from the same period ('68) of Keith fiddling around with an early synthesiser which looks truly arcane as in wouldn't look out of place in Frankenstein's laboratory. Both films are shot against largely black backgrounds and lit in an almost theatrical way. The Street Fighting Man sequence has Mick dressed in a se

WEll I'd second JKF's recommendation of BIG C.S. BLUES but only for the extras (most specifically Saville Theatre '69 and Brown Sugar L.A. Forum '73) which are great. But (as he must know) C.S. BLUES itself is degraded and incomplete on the 4REELS release. So look further afield for the meat of the matter (i.e. the film itself) and failing that pick up a copy of the OLD

well erik there are people working in tv stations who are Stones devotees who have unearthed some real gems a lot of which bootleggers are unaware of. I'm not going to be too specific (for obvious reasons) but you wouldn't have Knebworth '76, the new "director's cut" of Charlie is my Darling, or Montreaux '72 or Mick (sans other Stones) in 68 performing Stree

Yes Erik, I'm a bit cofused by it too. In fact the words "Why Bother?" came to mind. There's a huge gap in the market at the moment for someone to produce Stones DVDs for collectors in much the same way as VGP/DAC have done for Stones audiophiles. 4REELS could fill this gap but they do need to take some serious stock as they've got a little way to go yet awhiles. But i

what the majority of these postings overlook is that the cream of their live tours both audio and dvd wise is the 60's and 70's era. How many more releases of the geriatric Stones from their latest tour do we have to witness before the at times ludicrous displays of hubris (look no farther than the virtual airbrushing out of Bill Wyman from "According to The Rolling Stones) giv

Yes, "Love in Vain" and "Street Fighting Man" are from Madison Square Gardens 28th November 1969 show(I think) and are different to the "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" tracks SFM being the same as appeared in the movie "Gimme Shelter" but without the twitchy Radio KSAN DJ's voiceover as appears in this fantastic film.
