Summary: The Stones are better than this...
Review: Forget this video, check out the Voodoo Lounge or Bridges to Babylon videos. They're excellent, this one's only fair. But Stones fanatics will buy it anyway because it's the last one with Bill Wyman playing bass.

Summary: Great, but lyrics are muddy
Review: I have recently bought a new entertainment system, and I must say that I was disappointed with the sound of this disc. The visuals are spectacular, but compared to other music dvds I have, the sound on this one is sub par. Upon first viewing the disc, I was worried I had blown a speaker, but I have tested out the other dvds in my collection and they still sound fine. My recommendation would be to buy B2B instead...I am planning on buying that one next.

Summary: One of the best Stones videos
Review: I just bought the DVD, and I have to say that it is definitely one of the better Stones videos out there, and easily the best of the three concert videos sold on Amazon (not counting "Gimme Shelter"). The camera work and direction of the Imax crew just adds so much to another spectacular Stones performance, giving the audience a real sense of being right there on stage.My only complaint is that a few of the guitar solos seem to be mixed up a bit too high.

Summary: Best concert movie ever
Review: I saw this film 4 times at the omnimax theater at the museum of science and industry in Chicago. It was awesome. The music was great. Of course, it is not quite as good on video, but it is still fun to watch.

Summary: Too many overdubs...
Review: I saw this in an IMax theater last year and was horrified to see that almost all of the guitar work is overdubbed. Keith's fingerwork doesn't match what is coming out of the speakers at all. You'd think they could actually play the tunes live by now. Quite the embarrassment. I'd rather hear a few bum notes than this dishonest mess.

Summary: An Absolute Must for Any Stones Fan...
Review: I was not a Stones fan until I saw this in an Imax theater. Then I went back to see it again, and again. This concert video is simply the most exciting and most well done of all time. You can even hear the roadies in the background in the beginning and between tunes, it's better in Imax, but its on the video too, you just have to turn it way up! And you should turn it way up anyway. This is the Stones at their finest. The crowd, and the band are having a great time and it shows. Buy this video and watch it over and over.

Summary: I have the THX version and it still sucks!
Review: Like everyone else with any musical taste I love the Stones, and have been following them since I was fifteen and was hooked by "Satisfaction". That said, there seems to always be a propensity by whoever does the mixing for Stones' movies/DVDs to screw up the sound (maybe the Glimmer Twins themselves?). For instance, I have a number of bootlegs from the 1972 tour (Mick Taylor, decadence, hooray!), most of which are brilliant, full-bodied and powerful, then you get "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones", and it is comparatively anemic (actually awful) - guitars too tinny, the bottom rumble eliminated, Jagger too loud, and instead of sounding powerful, it sounds fragmented not like a real band at all. "At the Max" continues this tradition (?). I have videotape of that tour and, again, it is great, but I can't even watch this DVD, they manage to make the Stones sound boring!! The good news is that on Four Flicks, at last, a really decent job of mixing has been done that actually does sound like a Stones' concert - major regret that they didn't learn to do this before Bill Wyman left the band. At least we have "Gimme Shelter", which in its newest incarnation comes pretty close (ever hear it in a theatre with a good sound system turned up loud? Magic!) But unless you must have everything, I would avoid this one.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: The Boys at their best~ This is a good show... Keith throws some licks out there and proves he's the man... heck they all do, this is a very good Stones show..... After 30 years They are still the Greatest Rock and Roll band in the World. No one else even comes close Need I say more?
