I've really enjoyed this film over the years and it's great to see it out on DVD with plenty of bonus material.

For me this was the beginning of their best live period with Mick Taylor now in the band. Late 60s/early 70s Stone rocked. This performance by them is quite raw, partly due to it being Taylor's first live appearance. Highlights include Love In Vain and the climax of Sympathy For The Devil (complete with African drummers).

This DVD releases come with lots of extras. The most interesting and relevant are 3 bonus tracks not originally featured in the film - Mercy Mercy, Stray Cat Blues and No Expectations. Unfortunately the latter two aren't complete.

I was very tempted to rate this higher (and in some ways I feel I'm being a bit too 'picky') but this DVD does contain several notable flaws.

Ok, here goes:

Yes, it's great that this DVD is available to all the Rolling Stones fans out there and the price is certainly reasonable. My main 'beef' with it though is the fact that despite the packaging boasting about how the picture has been 'remastered' the quality (and I've watched this on several systems) is very poor - grainy; washed out...it's just drab. Actually, the same applies to the sound quality.

Secondly, there are no extras whatsoever which, I assume, relates to the bargain price but it would have been nice to contain at least something. Finally, this only ... Read More:

DVD : The Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter [1970] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Gimme Shelter is an astonishing look at the dark side of the rock 'n'roll collective hallucination: Jagger thought he was lucifer, the fans thought he was lucifer ... and the Hell's Angels thought he was a loser.
The story is one of the best known examples of how not to organise a free concert.The Stones were at their musical peak: Mick Taylor was there to help Charlie keep it together, Keith had rarely looked so elegantly wasted and Jagger was Jack Flash in all his androgynous splendor.
Unfortunately it was decided that the Angels would make great security guards. Even more unfortunately they got to have as much alcohol as they could drink in return for herding hippies.
The Mayles cameras seem to have been omnipresent : ... Read More:

My son bought this for my birthday. At first sight it appears to be a genuine music CD, but in reality there is virtually no music on it. It is just a load of "experts" making banal comments. There may well be some people who want such things - if so, why package them to look like music CD's, unless the intention is to deceive?

My copy will be going back to the shop. If they won't give a refund, it will go to the local Trading Standards office.

The first thing I noticed when switching on this video was a thick band of distorted colour at the top of the screen which remained throughout the film. I would need confirmation that this was only on my copy!

Although the Stones music is raw and exilirating the direction and camerawork are the worst I have ever witnessed. I eagerly awaited the appearance of the Flying Burrito Bros. and felt outraged that such a fine band of musicians were rewarded with camera shots of dogs sniffing each other and crowd shots. There appeared to be no connection throughout the film between the music on stage and the pictures being seen. You may as well put on a record and stare out the window at the fight outside your local hostelry.
