The Gem in the Stones Collection
20 April 2006
This is my favorite Rock N Roll movie, as it is just a straight concert unlike the documentary without talking or opinions forced on the viewer. The film features the Rolling Stones live in Ft Worth Texas with two performances edited together. All other live recordings or films about the Rolling Stones take second place to this film. The primary difference other than their ages with other film is the great musicianship added by lead guitarist Mick Taylor. For once the Stones are shown with a five star guitarist in full bloom, Mick Taylor adds the musicianship to take the band to stellar levels of playing, i.e. Led Zepplin or Cream shows. Coupled with Jagger's first class stage antics and an excellent horn section, the band is highlighted in a raw format that is long gone from their highly polished and commercialized recent tours. The film is unreleased on video and DVD, but easily found via fan circles, trade shows, and down loadable bit torrents. Should appeal to masses of music fans.
