This movie is an abomination. This was my introduction to the 1981 tour, and as such, it initially ruined for me what I now believe to be an energetic and very unique tour. The overdubs and editing of the music (and poor direction on the part of Hal Asbury) is a disgrace. When I got the complete and uneditied recording of the Tempe show, I was blown away by how much better the performance was. Th

QuoteGazza Apart from the obvious answer, IMO the best Stones live release is the EP 'Got Live if You Want It'. +1. The version of "I'm Moving On" from this ep is my favorite song the Stones covered.

Defenetly agree. I got into the Stones in the early 1990s, and for me, VL and B2B was huge dissapointments. ABB saved the Stones. If this was 1981 instead of the late 2000s where mainstream music is popularized by crap, "Rough Justice" would have spent six weeks at #1. It's by far the best Stones album since Tattoo You.

Given the smart business man Mick is, I think even he knows that, (1) after this, Ronnie has become too much of a liability with the insurers to stay on should they tour, and (2) at this point, the only other guitarist Stones fans would pay the price they charge to see play with the band is Mick Taylor. Indeed, Mick said in his "Jagger Remembers" interview that he knows most fans see th

I was a little too young to see the Stones on this tour..having been born the day of the first Boulder show. But I did get this show on bootleg, having heard it was one of the best shows from 1981. Best version of "Let It Bleed" I ever heard.

Quoteheadly123 My two cents worth. After seeing what McCartney did I think they should do the same. Mini tours so to speak. McCartney did like 7 shows and that was it. The Stones could hold it together fot at long I would hope. Then take a little time and do a few more. They won't get to burned out then. I mean these guys just couldn't do another HUGE tour.

Let me correct myself. What I should have said was that they shouldn't have attempted Sway, Knocking, or MM without MT because his style suited those specific songs better than Ronnie's. I love Ronnie's playing All Down The Line, Love In Vain, Star Star and Wild Horses. And furthermore, I don't think MT's style would have suited great Stones songs like Respectable, Neighb

I'm sorry, but the Stones had no right to play Sway, CYHMK, or Moonlight Mile without Mick Taylor (God help them if they even think about doing Time Waits for No One). I'm probably being delusional, but with Ronnie's current problems and knowing how Jagger feels, I think a Stones reunion with Mick T might not be so far-fetched now. (Hell, Van Halen got back together with David Le

I wondered what the attendence comaprison would be between 1981 & 1989. SW had more people (all stadiums shows), but 81 seemed to have more people at individual shows (90,782 Philly, 87,500 New Orleans, 90,000 LA, 73,000 San Francisco etc.) The only SW shows that reached those figures was LA.

"Tell Me" has always been one of my favorites from the early era. Apparently, Keith never liked this song, so when I learned they rehearsed it for '78, I tracked it down. Defenetly a different version, but I think it's good.

Defenitly doesn't deserve the ragging it has recieved, but I think "Biggest Mistake" was the better ballad. Personally, I think the best recent Stones ballad is "Almost Hear You Sigh."
