QuotePaintMonkeyManBlack Quotekeefriffhards A more honest down to earth review from a guy who actually knows this band/music and their potential. laughable on a lot of levels. I hate how some people call negative opinions "honest" which consequently says that all positive opinions are not honest. Some people just like to spread hate and that has nothing to do with honesty.

Quotesundevil That was awesome. This really shows the rolling stones need to stay small from this point forward. Thanks to social media, 4K camera and Dolby Atmos sound, they can now turn your living room into a small club. Hampton Roads was a pay-per-view, future club shows could be as well. They were super prepared for this show and it's great how fulfilling it is. With Charlie gone, now i

QuoteSpodlumt Mick on the Jimmy Fallon show was incredibly hard to watch. It was so unfunny and Mick was stilted in the delivery of his lines. Awful. I can't believe Mick agreed to do that crap. Well, humour's not the same for everyone. I thought it was hilarious.

So any idea when the professional video of the concert will see the light of day? In the near future as part of the album promotion or in a few months as part of the documentary?

I think what you also need to consider is that young people don't go to the record store and buy an album in a physical format. And the few who buy Vinyl will also order it on the internet. Of course that doesn't change the fact that the Stones fan base is more on the older side but those photos of record stores will show old people only for the reasons just mentioned. As for the

QuoteMonkeyMan2000 Chanel did great on Gimme Shelter in Milan last year. But from what I can tell from the videos of the Racket show I saw, she didn't blend in well with Mick at all. The phrasing is off. Bernard really mastered the way of singing the harmonies by Keith and Mick while also giving Mick something to fall back on in a case of emergency. I saw a clip of Whole Wild World and Cha

Chanel has a stunning voice but it's just too overpowering as a backing vocalist. Sasha blends in nicely with Bernard and Mick.

They certainly won't perform on live television. But playing an own show they would be having full control of the recording and could edit / overdub if necessary.
