Title: Stones never better
Product review: Despite the graininess and the video quality, this show is the cream of the Rolling Stones performing career. Music and spectacle, optimally combined and without and before the often distracting stage gimmickry that would come in later years, delivers the primal intensity any music fan craves for. Each number is a killer, and the show builds into a frenzied finale. At first, the changing quality of the video, as well as the alternating outfits, might be disconcerting. However, the show is sequenced seamlessly, giving the garments, at least, a colorful changing visual attractiveness. The inferior quality of some of the video is undeniable, yet the power of the performance and the music triumph here. I would have liked to have seem a couple of seconds more of a a clearly-shot Nicky Hopkins; otherwise, the ensemble players are well-represented. Jagger is unbelievable--all four of him! This dvd is a true treasure.
