arnold layne Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I saw it. It's pretty much just a live concert, with some brief "getting ready for the performance" footage in the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold layne Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 There are like three or four brief two minute clips of Mick Jagger or Keith Richards doing interviews in the 60's or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting, and the five or six live performances are pretty good. Especially the segment with Stevie Wonder. It's more of a curiousity than anything else.i think its probably the best rock n roll documentry i've ever seen. its so stark and real and authentic and...kinda grim feeling at times and...its just real or at least it feels real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) There's lots of early stuff ffrank.I've got a bootleg collection of all their appearances on Ed Sullivan.I expect it will get an official release though one day.There's the T.A.M.I. performance etc.(I should send you my Stones collection list).Look for an early docu-type movie called Charlie Is My Darling...some fantastic live footage from the early days and the chaos that ensued.That reminds me of an incident that happened in my family.The Stones played my hometown in the mid 60's.My older sister was dating the guitarist in the opening band (Sally and the Bluesmen).She got to go backstage and meet the Stones and the whole shit!And Brian Joens was still in the band!For years she had Keith Richards' cigarette butt in a baggy.She had a half eaten cookie from Brian Jones.She sat behind Charlie's drums during soundcheck and crashed around for a second or two.She got a hug from Keef and when she was introduced to Mick she was shaking so much he said to her "you look like you could use a kiss"...which he proceeded to do.She also got to watch the show from sidestage.One of my other sisters was in the audience watching.When the concert started the kids left their seats and started moving to the front,dancing in the aisles and shit...you know..it was the Stones!!.The cops hadn't seen anything like that before and freaked out...after about 6 songs or so,they turned on the houselights and cut the power.The Stones were right fucking pissed off...the kids even moreso!!They started to riot...they fuckin tore shit up!My sister in the audience got her desert boot (a shoe style at the time) caught in a chairleg and she went down and got trampled.She came home covered in boot prints...(I still remember the image of seeing her walking in like that...and my mom FREAKING OUT!).Walking off stage Mick said "we'll never play in this hick town again"...and they didn't!

Been and gone, DVD comes out this week. It's gorgeous. Nothing genre shattering, just a spiffy concert film with some amusing old interview footage and stuff laced in. Really lovely.

Randy Lahey Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) It's fucking shit. Ronnie Wood sucks and Mick is more interested in posing than singing. Do yourself a favor and find the bootleg, "A Brussels Affair". It's a bootleg from when Mick Taylor was in the band. Honestly, it's the best the Stones ever sounded, and it should be officially released. Unfortunately for the fans, Mick and Keith would rather sell you inferior shit like Shine A Light than give Mick Taylor some money. Here's a video of Tumbling Dice from A Brussels Affair. http://youtube.com/watch?v=6rHJVyAUdEUThat right there is the sound of the greatest band ever. The original GNR were like the sons of the band that you see in the video. Edited July 30, 2008 by Randy Lahey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I read about a Stones film from '68 once, by Jean Luc Godard. Could be interesting. If it's the Godard that Ray Manzarek talked about in The Doors movie, it could be even more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the Godard that Ray Manzarek talked about in The Doors movie, it could be even more interesting.The only thing interesting about it is the footage of the Stones in the studio fleshing out the song Sympathy for the Devil.You get to see them feeling it out on acoustic guitar in the early stages,that's the cool part,seeing the fruition if one of the greatest rock songs ever.The rest of it...well,I'll leave that up to you.If you're into Godard you might like it.Keith attended the premiere of the movie in London...went back to the studio,walked in and proclaimed "it's a wank".By the way,the movie is called Sympathy For The Devil and it was released on dvd.I'd say it's for hardcore Stones fans only.

Randy Lahey Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'd forgotten all about that doc. It was pretty weired from what I can remember. Not as weird as Jimi Hendrix's Rainbow Bridge doc though.

wasted Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) I read about a Stones film from '68 once, by Jean Luc Godard. Could be interesting. If it's the Godard that Ray Manzarek talked about in The Doors movie, it could be even more interesting.Godard direct Bout de Souffle - remade by Richard Gere as Breathless.But Godard basically gave Tarantino his camera angles. Le Mephris is watchable cos Bridgette Bardot is in it. Weekend is unwatchable but has the longest tracking opening shot or something.I think the Stones did a song for that Godard movie called Cockersucker Blues.Gimme Shelter is the best Rolling Stones movie/show/interviews - it's them watching themselves at Altamont Speedway - some of the wranglings over how "Mr. Jagger wants to put on a free show."It's pretty funny and also kind of haunting at the same time. By the time Gimma Shelter rolls at the end you're pretty sure Rolling Stones are the greatest band of all time."Maybe I have an inferiority complex. Or maybe I'm just great after all." - Charlie Watts.It's called Sympathy For The Devil by Godard.Performance is also pretty good porno.

Randy Lahey Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Sticky Fingers pretty much convinced me that the Stones are the greatest band of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Let It Bleed but Sticky Fingers is flawless, no filler. You Can't Always Shelter Me From the Bleeding.But there is something preposterous about Jagger jumoing around and prancing.I prefer the music to the stage show.
