I still can't watch this movie again after all these years. I don't know if its Ernie Watts piercing, really high clarinet-sounding sax or Charlie's tinny drum sound, or Keith and Ronnie's thin sound and sloppines or Jagger's silly tights and almost manic crotch-grabbing and singing.....It was the first Stones I had ever seen so its got a slightly nostalgic value, but remains my least favorite Stones live musical documentation. And it led to the worst Stones period.

Yeah, I saw the Elvis doc last time it was on TCM, and I was skeptical - but it was enjoyable and moving.  You have to be some kind of soulless churl to not love Elvis.

I remember seeing "Let the Good Times Roll" when it came out.  It's great, but it presents Chuck, Bo, and company like they were old men in '72 - when they were barely 40!

And, yeah - Ernie Watts does play like he's in a beer commercial...

Apologies to all Europeans and South Americans who have to miss out.

Agreed. They were 10 times as good in '81 as they were in the mid 70's. Very tight. I listen to Still Life very often and I love it. I'd say the three best tours were '72, Licks, and '81.

To each his/her own, but this was the band going through the motions....and Jagger just shouted the lyrics, with keith and ronnie playing all over each other. I mean, I was a relatively new fan and young, but I don't think i listened to Still Life again after I first bought it. Jagger was also doing alot of coke according to Wyman, and you can tell...it was missing that manic, punky energy of the 78 tour, when Mick was still singing.

I love the 1981 tour.

I was eleven years old.

Never forget the 2nd Coliseum show, watching the crowd turn on Prince, great sets from J.Geils and George Throughogood. Then waiting for what seemed like hours for them to show up on stage as the sun went down with the L.A. smog and haze.

I remember the summer that LSTNT came out going to see it 8 or 9 times.

Hadn't seen 'Let The Good Times Roll' in years.

Little Richard was crazy good - or good and crazy - but the absolute highlight for me was Chuck and Bo on 'Johnny B. Goode'.  

It don't get much better than that...

I saw it the first time when it was in the theatre's, so that must have been in '73, I forgot all about the split screens, Little Richard was hilarious, campy as hell, he was as high as ten kites, years later he admitted he was stoned out of his mind when that tour took place that the show was filmed from.
I was kind of disappointed in Chuck & Bo, Chuck didn't really play his guitar, none of his "Johnny B. Goode leads that he could of, & Bo didn't really play either, I was surprised no "Hey Bo Diddley" I guess when I first seen it I didn't take no notice of this, both those guys are 'known for their guitar playing not their stage antics.

i saw let the good times roll when it came out i was 15 - as fate would have it both chuck and little richard came to town that year ('73)

i have seen a lot of rock and roll in my time but that little richard show is still one the most hi - energy shows i have ever witnessed

as for LSTNT - for me a major verging on monumental disappointment - more than anything it's the sound of the band - the guitars too weedy and  the breathless vocalizing

like tex i bought still life - i may have played it three times or so

Tried to watch LSTNT again this weekend on TCM.....I thought I'd give it another chance. Nope, didn't work - still lacking something to me....Like you said, stoned, , the sound of the band is the problem. Everything sound so trebly and thin.....that tour has a sentimental value for me, but in truth, they were sloppy and lacking intensity.
