NOT COMPLETE CONCERTS AND POOR CAMERA WORK HURT THIS OTHERWISE GOOD SET!.......2007-06-29

This set has a very good disc of extras and three decent shows,but the shows are not complete! Why? I would prefer the camera men to stay on keith during his solos same goes for Woody. It is a shame that they never give us much of Charlie Watts Keith and Woody for that matter. I know Jagger is the front man,but real Stone fans know that Keith and Charlie are just as important to this bands legacy! There are a few cool options for playback, but this set could have been much better. Still a nice set to add to your collection.

I concur that this is generally a terrific set. I have an HBO screener from the live broadcast of Madison Sq. Garden which includes, if I recall, additional songs from the MSG set included here. The real joy, however, is the Twickenham concert - better produced in general, with a great selection of material and, for hdtv, owners crystal clear 16:9 format. For some reason, the MSG and Olympia concerts - both also directed by Marty Callner - were produced in 1:33.

WOW..........2006-12-27

As strong now then ever. Some of the performances are just like unreal,maybe their as good now then in years past. Watts and Jagger are just out of their minds in the Garden and Paris performances and I've never relized how good Ron Wood and Kieth Richards are on the Guitar. The middle of the Paris show alone is worth the price of this DVD,the sequence "From Hand to Fate" to "Dance(part 1)in the Paris show is to me is just concert greatness,the documentury and The Garden Show is great as well. well worth it..

An excellent concert DVD; There should be more like this.......2006-12-20

This is how all concert DVDs should be made. It includes not only one but three different Stone concerts plus documentaries, bonus tracks, backstage footage, song commentary by the band members, and more. Not only are the Stones playing three different shows here, they also feature very different set lists for each show. Yes, certain songs are repeated such as "Brown Sugar," "Honky Tonk Women," "Satisfaction," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Street Fighting Man," but you do not get tired at all of those songs. However, "Honky Tonk Women" is better when it is just done by the Stones even though Sheryl Crow is hot. The Stadium Tour disk is probably my favorite because they are on fire and the set list is amazing featuring excellent versions of "Paint It Black," "Sympathy For The Devil," "Street Fighting Man," "Wild Horses," "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Satisfaction," "Star Star," "Brown Sugar," "Rocks Off," "Tumbling Dice," "Honky Tonk Women," "Gimme Shelter," and more. The Arena Tour disk is also amazing and it includes some of the same songs plus classic performances of "Midnight Rambler," "Let It Bleed," "Monkey Man," "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'," "It's Only Rock and Roll," and "Angie." The Theatre Tour disk is a real treat for fans who like to see the Stones play songs that don't normally play such as "Live With Me," "No Expectations," "Stray Cat Blues," "Before They Make Me Run," "Hand Of Fate," "That's How Strong My Love Is," and "Neighbours." This disk also features an excellent performance of "Start Me Up." The performances by the Stones on this DVD are spectacular. The sound is amazing and even though some may disagree, the camera work is excellent. The focus is mainly on Mick and Keith but there are plenty shots of Ronnie and Charlie. The band are also augmented by backing singers, horn players along with the keyboard and bass players. This is fine though because the Stones obviously need a bassist and they always toured with a keyboardist. The backing singers are needed so Keith and Ronnie could concentrate on playing without having to sing (Keith seems to prefer not to sing and play guitar at the same time). The horns are not featured on every song, but the Stones did use some horns in the seventies so they help the songs that feature them. The main focus here however, is on the four Stones and each of them proves why they deserve to be in the "World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band." The documentaries are both great too and the bonus tracks include great versions of "Bitch" and "Beast of Burden." You even get to see the Stones record in their studio. What a real treat. The song commentary is also fantastic although it would have even been better if they could have commented on all the songs, but they have a busy schedule so I understand. The Backstage Footage is also very cool. This is an incredible DVD and one of the best concert DVDs that exist. Now they should release a Stone DVD like this that features the Stones with Mick Taylor and if possible the Stones with Bryan Jones. Wishful thinking but it could happen.

Great DVD for Stones' fan.......2006-11-17

I have been a fan of the Stones since I was 8 years old when the band first came out with "Satisfaction". This is my first Stones' DVD; since I missed their concerts here in Seattle I owed this to myself and have really enjoyed working out with this TV concert.

After reading details of the earlier Stones DVDs this has to be the best with the music and filming--and classic for anyone having grown up with the music, ready to appreciate what the Stones are now.

Each of the four CDs include songs from the old and the latest, with a bonus CD that explains what is involved on their concert tour.
