Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

terriner The movie is of 2 performances in Fort Worth on 6/24/1972 (afternoon & evening), and 2 in Houston (University of Houston) on 6/25/1972. Of the 15 songs, 9 are from the Houston shows (5 from the afternoon show) & 6 from Fort Worth. The Houston afternoon show was my first concert, thanks to my brother (ticket price $5.50). You can tell the Fort Worth shows by the lights behind the stage that are aimed at a high reflecting fixture above and in front of the stage which would bounce the lights onto the stage. Hofheinz Pavilion's ceiling in Houston was too low for this setup, so you have the basic light setup for the time. Seeing the Stones 15 times, this was the only time I saw Mick Taylor play with them. His guitar work on Love in Vain and Gimme Shelter is great, and the way the guitarists lock in together on Tumbling Dice and Rip This Joint is something to see. Other highlights - the energy of the show opener Brown Sugar, Keith on Bye Bye Johnnie, Mick's confidence on Street Fighting Man, Charlie Watts & Bill Wyman throughout, the horn section (both Texans), and Nicky Hopkins (you can hear him once in a while in the film - live, he was pretty drowned out). I also think Ian Stewart is at the piano for Brown Sugar. Anyone interested in the Stones should see this film. A great band at a critical time.

Michael_Elliott Ladies and Gentlemen...The Rolling Stones (1973) **** (out of 4) OK, I understand the Stone not wanting C*cksucker Blues to have an official release but why in the hell hasn't this thing been released yet? Two concerts from Fort Worth, TX were edited together for this film, which was recorded on The Stones Exile on Main Street tour. Just check out this setlist: Brown Sugar, Gimme Shelter, Dead Flowers, Happy, Tumblin Dice, Love in Vein, Sweet Virginia, You Can't Always Get What You Want, All Down the Line, Midnight Rambler, Bye Bye Johnny, Rip This Joint, Jumpin Jack Flash and Street Fightin Man. The actual film itself isn't as good as Gimme Shelter but the performance of the band here is downright terrific. There's no behind the scenes stuff or interviews edited in. This is just a pure rock and roll show with the boys delivering terrific performances and perhaps the greatest live version of Gimme Shelter that I've heard. I also really enjoyed all the songs from 'Sticky Fingers', which we all know is the band's greatest album. When I saw The Stones last year their song Dead Flowers was played and pretty much became my title song with the ex who went with me.

daniel-1178 Yes ladies and gentlemen this is the best live concert footage ever of the rolling stones. You see what the stones are all about. The band at it's peak, the songs are played the way they should be played, Mick and Keith sing Dead Flowers, Happy and You Can't Alway's Get What You Want, together on the same microphone which you never see and they work together brilliantly. Also, with Mick Taylor on board what can I say......He really completes the band. The albums he made with the band are easily the best ever and this concert shows just how good he is and how he made the band complete. Take nothing away from Brian and ronnie, but I think Mick Taylor was the best. I have a copy and this concert is a must for stones fans and I hope soon they will remaster and release it as we all eagerly await.

purple-lagoon What a great movie. What really steals the show (so to speak) is the soundtrack. Good golly, does it get any better than this? OK, Frank Zappa's "Baby Snakes" is almost as good. This movie is as good as it gets. The star-studded cast is everything it needs. It's an ambitious movie and it lives up to its potential, right to the very last Mick Taylor guitar guitar solo which closes it out. Breathtaking!!!The high point of this brilliant movie occurs not too far into the picture when they do "Tumbling Dice". And the apex there is (of course) the guitar solo played so deftly by Mick Taylor. And as if the song were the microcosm of the movie, the close of the song with Keith pumping out the chorded rhythms and Mick Taylor playing the single-note lines of the same, it gently lands and breaks, just like a Lear Jet coming home.Before this great song, a couple of songs back, the plot thickens with "Gimme Shelter". Again, it's the soundtrack riding high, adding to the movie's aural texture. The staging of the song is cool. At almost the right time the big spotlight turns on Mick Taylor as his soling (but not him) takes center stage as the main focus of the song. Wow! This alone is worth the price of admission.See this movie. Put on your dancing shoes, chuck the popcorn and list3en closely, following every single note.
