    Finally! What every Stone fan has been waiting for!!!

    IMO, this warranted its own thread.

    Stones To Release Two DVDs
    mdome / News / 19/03/2010 18:05pm

    The Rolling Stones are to issue two DVDs this year through Eagle Entertainment.

    The first, Stones In Exile, comes out in June. It details the making of the classic 1972 album Exile On Main Street and includes footage never previously seen.

    The second is Ladies And Gentlemen… The Rolling Stones. This is their celebrated 1972 concert film, now fully restored. It will be shown in cinemas before getting DVD and Blu-ray releases in the autumn.

      I thought it was going to be Cocksucker's Blues.

        Some more details...

        Legendary Rolling Stones concert making DVD debut

        The Rolling Stones' legendary 1974 concert movie Ladies And Gentlemen . . . The Rolling Stones will finally be released this fall. The film, which was directed by Rollin Binzer, is the definitive live account of the Stones' massive 1972 North American tour in support of their double album Exile On Main Street. The film has only ever been shown theatrically and has never been officially released in any form.

        As part of the Stones' new deal with Eagle Rock Entertainment, this May they'll release an expanded DVD of Stones In Exile, the newly-produced documentary chronicling the making of Exile On Main Street. The documentary -- without the bonus featurettes -- will air on BBC TV and be sold as part of the new Exile remaster.

        The full tracklisting to the Ladies And Gentlemen . . . The Rolling Stones movie is:

        "Brown Sugar"
        "Bitch"
        "Gimme Shelter"
        "Dead Flowers"
        "Happy"
        "Tumbling Dice"
        "Love In Vain"
        "Sweet Virginia"
        "You Can't Always Get What You Want"
        "All Down The Line"
        "Midnight Rambler,"
        "Bye Bye Johnny"
        "Rip This Joint"
        "Jumpin' Jack Flash"
        "Street Fighting Man"
        "Medley: Uptight/(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" with Stevie Wonder and his band.

          It's about fucking time!

          And I don't believe that Uptight/Satisfaction performance with Stevie is on the bootleg versions. At least not all of the releases. (I've seen a half a dozen different versions of this boot, so it might have been on some of them, for all I remember)

          You can tell the second clip isn't as good of a quality as the first, so I'm thinking it wasn't on the better releases of the film, though I believe it was in "Cocksucker Blues"

            Cool!
            Now I can get rid of the bootleg version Walker traded me a few years back.

              That's just it, I don't think anyone has fuck all idea what was in the original film, and what was thrown onto bootlegs. Now I went to see the film at a midnight matinee sometime in the seventies, and I'll be dipped if I recall it. But a friend of mine had a spectacularly crummy version of the film on VHS, which he loaned me in the early eighties. Now I played the hell out of that thing before I gave it back, and all I can tell you is this..."Happy" was on it, although every source I've run across says it wasn't available until it showed up as a bonus on a DVD version a few years ago. And the Stevie Wonder segment was not included.

              I hope they cleaned up the sound, because not only was that horn section dreadfully wasted on lord knows what substances, but they played like it as well. And some of the band's performances were sort of iffy as well. I really hope this thing hasn't grown out of proportion, having not been seen for so long that it has taken on a mythical status for some people. Don't get me wrong, it has some great moments. It's just not quite the Holy Grail.

                I believe there were some "minor" overdubs in the sound, back in the day.

                Evidence presented..... Exhibit "A" (before)

                If you watch the second clip closely, there are moments where both Mick and Keith are heard singing, but no where near a microphone.

                  FORD, these are two completely different performances. For one thing, they are in two different tempos. For another, look at Mick's shirt.

                    I'm sure the tempo is just a matter of two different copies, one of them playing slightly faster. After 36 years of copying, it's bound to happen.

                    And while it might be from different performances (the film was shot from two consecutive performances in Fort Worth Texas) the point still stands that the second clip (from the released movie) has some obvious "post production" on the vocal track.

                      Yeah, it definitely sounds doctored, I'll give ya that. And outside of the horn section and Nicky Hopkins, they weren't lugging around any extra backing vocalists at the time, either.

                          There was footage of the Stones and Wonder performing the entire Uptight/Satisfaction jam on Cocksucker blues...at the end of the flick, I believe (can't be bothered to pop it in the dvd player and confirm it)...can't recall if that footage was originally included on the Ladies and Gentleman release, though I got a bootlegged version of that L & G release...so maybe it was included on the original European theatrical release.

                          The band might as well authorize Let's Spend The Night Together to be upgraded to a dvd release. Maybe the early 1980s Rolling Stones Video Rewind vhs release can be upgraded as well. There's also 1975, 1976 and 1978 tour footage floating around out there they could throw onto the dvds as extras...maybe the closed-circuit 1981 gig could be added onto the official LSTNT dvd (am thinking that was taken from a 'Hampton Roads' Virginia date...though I could be wrong about the name of the town and state on that one! my memory fucking sucks!)

                            Maybe it was just a case of that snippet of footage being taken from one show and the audio being from another, a la Oakland 1981...or virtually the whole LZ SRTS movie. Could be post-production "enhancing", though. Wouldn't be a shock.

                              The Hampton Roads VA show from 12/18/81 was definitely some sort of "pay per view" release or another.

                              It's also the show where Keith did this.....
