Summary: A Great Live Show Captured By The Glory Of IMAX
Review: This is another great live dvd from a Rolling Stones concert tour. This tour was by far the band's most heavily-designed concert tour. The band fills the show with some new songs, but mostly features oldies. From the thunderous opening chords of 'Start Me Up' to the crashing final electric strums of 'Satisfaction', this is another fine concert dvd from the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world. The band has an elaborately designed stage, featuring large blowups of bimbos named Angie and Ruby ('Honky Tonk Women'), and large wild dogs ('Street Fighting Man'). During the latter track, Mick jams the mike stand into the dogs, causing barking barking sounds, before inevitably climbing into one of their mouths. The band also does a bonechilling 'Paint It Black', and a trippy version of '2,000 Light Years Home'. Keith Richards resurrects 'Happy' with a rousing performance. This concert is a must-have.

Summary: BE WARNED
Review: This is indeed an incredible DVD... BUT ONLY THE ORIGINAL THX VERSION. There is an import copy of this being sold by some retailers that's insanely horrible. I don't need to write another review about how great this concert film is but rather don't want anyone else to get burned like I did. Luckily, the retailer let me return it even thought it was opened.

Summary: Skip the rest of the reviews!!!
Review: This is the best recording of the stones you'll see or hear on video, other than the film, "Gimme Shelter". This disc was recorded exclusively for the IMAX theaters to lavishly exploit the Stones' at the time of their second musical prime. I'm not talking song writing ability, but rather sheer musicianship. The audio is notably a completely different type of sound. The music from the band sits undeniably atop the screams of the audience. This provides for a stunningly clear and crisp recording without the bother of trying to hear the music over the fans. It prevents the linear effect of keeping every sound on the same plane. The only time you hear the audience is when the camera pans over to them, or naturally through one of the microphones. This was purposely done to keep the sound unique to camera's subject; meaning quite simply, what you see is what you hear. Every guitar lick rings out like one of Keith's amps is in your TV room!!! It is certainly a unique experience.

Summary: THE STONES TAKE YOU ON A TRIP INTO NEVER ENDING PLEASURE
Review: THIS VIDEO SIMPLY ADDS TO THE OBVIOUS THAT THEY HAVE EVOLVED FROM A ROCK & ROLL (BLUES) BAND TO DEFINE WHAT ROCK & ROLL (WRAPPED WITH A RIPPING BLUES UNDERCURRENT)IS. THEY HAVE PASSED THE POINT OF BEING A BAND TO BECOMING THE TRUE ESSENCE OF ROCK & ROLL BY CREATING A SOUND SO PROFOUND AND UNIQUE THAT IT LEAVES ONE SPEECHLESS AND TOTALLY AWE STRUCK. AFTER ALMOST 40 YEARS I STILL CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THEIR MUSIC-EVEN AFTER GROWING UP IN THE 60'S WITH THAT GREAT WATERSHED OF TALENT. THIS IS A MUST BUY DVD; ENJOY!

Summary: Exellent audio; good video
Review: THX audio is very good - in contrary to other reviews. Noise from audiences is at reasonable level and helps create the proper concert ambient. You must have good center speaker as it will be heavily drived at times. The song performances are strong and combined with good camera work. I'm not real familiar with The Rolling Stones but this dvd gives me a very positive impression.
This video transfer from IMAX format is not as good as I expected. I can see some grainy artifacts especially in the low light scenes. Overall it's still pretty good.

Summary: The Rolling Stones-Live at the Max
Review: Very good but audio does not even come close to DTS Quality

Summary: bad sound
Review: What happened to the sound quality? I originally saw the Stones' Live at the Max at an IMAX theater in Vancouver, Canada, and it sounded incredible. The sound literally blew my away. But the sound quality in this DVD is simply mute in comparison. I consider the Stones' Gimme Shelter DVD the greatest rock film ever made (followed closely by Pink Floyd's Live at Pompei and The Wall). Unfortunately, Floyd's Live at Pompei isn't on DVD, and the Stones' Live at the Imax is (it should have been left on VHS, or at least digitally remastered for DVD).

Summary: horrible sound -
Review: what's with the sound on this dvd. The audience noise is louder than the Stones. The musical quality is compared to an old record which has been ran over by a truck. The crowd's screaming and yelling drowns out 85% of the music. This concert video is the best argument why stadium concerts are not made for music.

Summary: Love Hurts, I love the Stones, but I can't recommend this.
Review: While the visuals on this DVD make me feel like I was there, and I wanted to be excited about this DVD, the sound of each and every song gradually killed my excitement. The sound is terrible, it is biased so much to the music, when the sound from the crowd comes in, its like somebody in the editing studio simply turned up the volume on the crowd track. Very low rent. Worse, the Stones were never known for their live music skills, so the 95% bias to their music leaves all the warts out in the open, with no Stones Live (from the crowd) atmosphere. I went to this concert, and it was so so so much better in person, I must give the sound crew an F on the DVD, it does not capture the audio side of the experience, while the video side is covered excellent.
