the rolling stones bridges to babylon | Year: 1997 Classification: Music Video - Pop/Rock Directed: - Bruce Gowers Actors/Actresses: - Keith Richards (II) - Ron Wood - Charlie Watts - Mick Jagger The greatest show on Earth This 1998 Rolling Stones dvd is probably the best " live " dvd ever issued. The tape joins my other concert dvds on the shelf.<BR>The sounds are crystal clear. The dvd opens up with shots of the<BR>band's limo pulling up to the concert location. The show kicks off with Keith Richards leading the band out on stage with the powerful opening chords of " Satisfaction ". The show continues at a pace that never slows down. The dvd features enthusiastic<BR>versions of " Let's Spend The Night Together " and " Honky Tonk <BR>Women ", a great cover of Bob Dylan's " Like A Rolling Stone ",<BR>and a song sung by Keith ( " I Wanna Hold You " ). Also, " Start <BR>Me Up ", " Jumping Jack Flash ", " Miss You ", " It's Only Rock <BR>'N' Roll ", " You Can't Always Get What You Want ", and " Tumbl-<BR>ing Dice " are all thrown in. The dvd also features Dave Matthews<BR>sharing the stage ( and microphone ) with Mick on a heartbreaking<BR>" Wild Horses ", and saxophonist Joshua Redman plays a solo on <BR>" Waiting On A Friend ". The highlight to me, however, is a <BR>" haunting " performance of " Gimmie Shelter ". The only thing bad about the show is the three new songs " Flip The Switch ",<BR>" Saint Of Me ", and " Out Of Control ". Also, when the Stones visit their website to see which song their fans want to see them<BR>perform ( the winner was " Waiting On A Friend " ), we realized that there were many great songs they could have done ( " She's A<BR>Rainbow ", " Under My Thumb ", " When The Whip Comes Down ", <BR>" Love In Vain ", " Respectable ", " Fool To Cry " ). The dvd's final number is a great " Brown Sugar ". This show is perfect. Still the best live band in the world This 1998 dvd of the Stones' 1997 tour to promote the " Bridges To Babylon " album is the best thing to happen since " sliced<BR>bread ". The dvd opens up with the Stones walking out on the<BR>stage as Keith Richards blasts out the opening chords of <BR>" Satisfaction ". Just make yourself a big bowl of popcorn, and<BR>it's almost like you're there. The evening commences with delightful versions of " Let's Spend The Night Together " and<BR>" Honky Tonk Women ", a showstopping " Sympathy For The Devil ",<BR>and a chilling " Gimmie Shelter ", with Keith still playing the<BR>tremelo rhythm on guitar. The album is features a lead vocal by<BR>Keith ( I Wanna Hold You ) and a cover of a Bob Dylan song <BR>( " Like A Rolling Stone " ). It also features guest appearances by Dave Matthews, who shares the mic with Mick on a beautiful<BR>" Wild Horses ", and saxophnist Joshua Redman, who solos on<BR>" Waiting On A Friend ". We also get songs like " It's Only<BR>Rock 'N' Roll ", " Miss You ", " You Can't Always Get What You<BR>Want ", " Jumpin' Jack Flash ", " Start Me Up ", and " Tumbling<BR>Dice " thrown in the mix. After we see the Stones bow out at the<BR>end, it almost makes you wish that Bill Wyman, Brian Jones and<BR>Mick Taylor were there. But even if it's only Keith, Mick and<BR>Charlie there, it's still a great show. The show has great sound.<BR>The screams are loud and clear. This a perfect album for any<BR>Stones lover Stones live 1998 Excellent Stones concert. IMO Gimmie Shelter, It's Only Rock and Roll, Waiting on a Friend and Flip The Switch are the highlights. Keith is very strong thoughout. I don't have the other Stones DVDs- so I can't compare. Having said that, I've seen the Stones in concert many times (starting in 78). This is an excellent show.
