The Rolling Stones: Four Flicks [DVD]

I first heard the Stones live back in the heady days of the sixties when they were a bunch of mopheads playing blues in pubs and clubs in London. They were exciting to listen to and watch then, and judging by this magnificent set they still are except they are far more accomplished and have a much bigger sound.This superb package covers so much of the bands material and approach to their music it is difficult to pick out the highlights. They still play the blues wonderfully just listen to "I just wanna make love to you" and "Rock me Baby". In fact there are many songs on this dvd that the Stones have not performed live before or not for many years; "Bitch" "Star Star" "You got me Rocking" also soul standards "Love Train", "I can't turn you loose" and "Going to a Go Go".What dominates the whole series of three concerts and other takes is the sheer quality of musicianship and dedication by the band. Make no mistake these are not slipshod perormances, they play as a professional tight band but with some excellent solos; Ronnie Woods' guitar on Can't you hear me knocking" is some of the best he has played, Keith Richard let's loose some wicked guitar as though he has a machine gun in his hand, Mick performs a few growling harmonica solos. Throughout Charlie Watts is playing as though he is a 20 year old and is better than ever. What an inspired addition is bassist Darryl Jones , his funky beats give so much depth and groove to the band. Something else that stands out is the added prominence given to the Stones backing musicians, Chuck Leavell boogying on the keyboards, Bobby Keys Rocking sax, the soulful vocalists, Lisa Fischer, Bernard Fowler and Blondie Chaplin all give their heart out in so many stirring numbers. I cannot pick out any one track for special mention so many are so good. It will take you hours to delve through this wonderful collection , there is also a delightful documentary from behind the scenes that reveals the hard work and attention to detail that all the band give to their performances, even down to the set design. This set is like a large coffee table book that is made to pick through and every page is a delight. Enjoy! (one postcript, will there be a "live" album to compliment this dvd? and will the Rolling Stones please record an album of blues standards!)

Let's get one thing completely straight. I'm relatively new to the Rolling Stones. I grew up a Bowie fanatic and have dibbled and dabbled with all kinds of classic rock - Pink Floyd, The Who etc. The Stones I would give a casual listen to, such as the 'Forty Licks' album. Then a work colleague lent me this to have a look at and with an open mind I gave it a go. I was completely and utterly mesmerised, blown away, knocked out cold by the awesome live music contained on these discs. I am not exaggerating. After seeing these 'old men' in action, my admiration of Oasis, U2 et al took an instant tumble. I own many concert DVDs: The Who, Pink Floyd, Bowie, New order, but this is without question the most spectacular of them all. If anybody doubts the Stones, as I did, just give 'Midnight Rambler' a whirl on the New York disc. This is the single greatest live performance I have ever seen. Everything, the guitar, drums, timing, vocals, and, not least the amazing stage presence of Sir Michael (20 years my senior) have to be seen to be believed. I got this for Christmas side by side with Queen live at Wembley. While Freddie wows me with his stage presence and vocals, Mick Jagger does even more and I find his whole persona magnetic. While Bowie wil always be my favourite artist for his sheer diversity and creativity,as a live act I do not think this group can be beat. They are as near to perfection as you can get and they actually look to enjoy every darned minute on stage. One watch is enough to make you go out and buy the classic Stones albums from the 60s and 70s. I think a lot of todays 'groups' would pack up and call it a day after seeing this, especially Jumpin' Jack Flash and the way Jagger dances for 5 full minutes as he whips the Twickenham crowd into a frenzy. And to think I thought he didn't deserve a knighthood! Go and treat yourself to this DVD masterpiece. Sound, colour, picture quality, music, packaging - the lot -completely and utterly magnificent in every respect.

At school I argue with all my friends. Nearly all of them are into this rave and dance crap where I love rock n' roll. It's what my band play and it's what I listen to.I'm sure that if I showed them the Twickenham concert on this DVD they would agree with me. I was lucky enough to actually be there at the show so I had to buy this. Although they miss out three songs what you get is amazing. They open up with a kick-ass 'Brown Sugar' and go on to play such classics as 'Rocks Off' 'Tumbling Dice and 'Sympathy for the Devil'. The sound is exellent, the picture is superb and as usual, the Stones Rock! It's nearly as good as being there!The two other concerts are just as good. From Madison Square Garden and the Paris Olympia with songsincluding, 'Angie' 'Neighbours' 'Before they make me run' and a fantastic version of 'that's how strong my love is'. I found the extra documentary very entertaining. You see the band behind the scenes and get some rare bootlegs.Money wise, this is great value. in most shops this costs £50! Not that it's not worth it however.Bursting with special features including select-a-stone. If a Stones fan, music fan, whatever you are, drop everything, you need this DVD!I wrote a review saying that the 'Bridges to Babylon' DVD was the best of all time, well i was wrong..... this is it!

Très bon dvd pas de problème je suis satisfait

Il cofanetto contiene quattro dvd, di cui tre sono concerti e uno documentario. I concerti sono suddivisi in: teatro, stadio e arena così da avere la possibilità di sentire differenti setlist e vedere la reazione del gruppo e dei fans a seconda della location. Da avere per tutti gli appassionati degli Stones.

Buena presentación,imprescindible documento en vivo del mas grande grupo del mundo en diferentes ciudades y conciertos...¡¡¡Señoras y señores,con ustedes....Los Rolling Stones...Jajaja,disfruten¡¡

If you can find this DVD set, snatch it up right now and enjoy. Each of the three concerts (NY LONDON PARIS) has its own unique style and flair, not repeat performances in the least. I had been away from listening anything Stones for awhile, but this DVD set brought my interest right back ....in spades. A truly awesome concert series showcasing what the 'Bad Boys' have always done best...Perform and Deliver The Goods! Can they be even better than they were say 20 years ago? This DVD set would make the case for...YES! Out of the three concerts, the London show was my favorite, but to say that, I am splitting hairs.This set now rests securely in the 'top best' of my collection of concert DVD's.

生きの良い頃のストーンズよ、クラブ、アリーナ、スタジアム版と揃い これ一つで３DVD楽しめます、買って損無し、家の宝よ！
