Quoteshattered1978 Do you seriously compare the PPV HD with a collection of audience recordings? And you were seriously disappointed by the outcome of that comparison? Wauw. The youtube multicams give a great impression of the shows, with lots of angles you'll never get in pro-shots. Falo's audio is as good as audience recorded bootlegs can come. But, I agree with you that the

Firstly, I acknowledge how much effort a number of people have put in to make up these DVDs, but I still can't help being so disappointed that their quality is so restricted by the quality of so many variable YouTube videos - sound, picture quality, panning, steadiness, distance, you name it. Compared with the New York PPV one, these O2 productions, unfortunately, don't come up to sp

I've seen some of the 2nd New York show pay per view program, and it looks and sounds fantastic. I'm really hoping, surely just like heaps of other fans, that there's something out there in the same quality for the first London O2 show. Anybody know anything about any possibilities? I have to admit that I really want to see Bill's long-awaited reappearance in top quality.

Try as I might, I just can't stomach footage often taken from great distances and heights from the stage, and which of

762 hits on this "controversial" topic and counting, and still not even a shred of anything remotely resembling an official explanation as to why this "50-year odyssey" ends after just 19 years. This must rate a mention in a list of the year's biggest Stones secrets, as well as unsatisfactory releases.

QuoteDeltics The poster for the movie says "The Rise of The Stones" which might explain why it ends in 1981. A good point ..... which is utterly contradicted by the booklet comment "we get to see it being performed through 50 years of concert and television performances". And that "Rise of the Stones" wording doesn't appear on the DVD cover artwork or it

Well, this is even more noticeable. Still nobody has posted any known reason for it cutting out as early as 1981 in the timeline. Reckon I'm going to conclude that it was an inexplicable (and virtually inexcusable) tactic by the producers. It's like buying a packet marked "20 chocolate biscuits inside", opening it up, and finding there are only 7 plus a fragment. I think i

QuoteJimmyShelter I have heard rumours that things happened after 1981 but I've seen little evidence of it myself. Everything since then seems to have been repeats of the 60's and 70's performed by older people. But personally I'm happy with that Sorry, but that leaves me even more confused.

Well, I thought this documentary was going to cover 50 years of the Stones. It got to about 1981, and then the end credits started rolling. "Whaaaa ???" I said to myself. Perhaps I fell asleep at 1981 and was woken up by the closing Shine A Light DVD music. I've checked again - no, it's true, it stops at 1981. We're told in the booklet (page 3) that we get to see i
