Just picked up the dvd/cd combo. Could have a line on the store poster, fingers crossed!
The photos within the booklet which comes with this are mostly from '75 tour, strange.

I got the Blu Ray/CD combo... My kid is home sick, he has control of PS3, so i'm listening to the CD...
It is mixed way different than my Handsome girls, I jumped right back to my boots on first song... wasn't even sure it was the same show... I was really hoping it would be a much better/different mix... Definitely different... Hope I like it more in the long run... can make out the edits, between songs already, they really had to shave this down, to make it fit on one disc.

to your question Nellie, I had the official tour program a few years ago, sold it b/c I knoew I would destroy it, i'm prett sure, what we have is a mini replica of it, the other booklet the bigger one, pre tour statemnt letter to media... then there's a article I'm about to read, then ticket stubs and what-not...

Ah Ha! Thanks for the 411, it makes sense now, thanks

Weird that Mick blasted American punk... considering he basically raided Johnny Rottens closet... Even going as far as to wear the Swazistika Destroy shirt!!!
american punk, influenced the rise of punk in the UK, hello Ramones!!! and continued in the USA, despite no mainsteam success... while in THe UK, it was alot about chart success and fashion statements... Weird he went there in the article... Keith was correct, everyone stole his looks and chops for sure, considering he taught them how to steal in the first place, very appropriate!!!

It is so freaking great.
The bonus stuff is also good.
Wished they'd included the deli skit
The 20/20 segment was only about 5 min long.
Normal 20/20 segments are at least 11-13 min long
It would have been great to see it all.
I'd never viewed the Woodstock studio footage
Geraldo Rivera had exclusive Stones access back in the day.
I recall a 20/20 segment on the '75 tour from
the opening date @ Baton Rouge

QQQ...Does or did Mick ever smoke? Casually...frantically...on/off stage...not just as a fashion accessory

The question comes up because during the Texas show...about the 34 min mark in last half of Miss You,

Ronnie seems to be having some sort of difficulty playing and smoking...

He gestures to Mick who then takes the cigarette from him, examines it and tosses it down and steps on it...

a few other times Ronnie offers Mick a drag and he refuses. That makes sense since he is in the middle of a song...

Yes, Mick used to smoke in the 60's, I saw lots of interviews with him smoking, don't know when he gave it up, I guess him being such a energy person, it doesn't suit him, it's like a long distance runner smoking.

Got the Blu-Ray, great concert, crap video quality, well not crap but I don't see any HD there, it's DVD quality, at best, hard to believe they started from a 16mm movie that potentially has a lot more resolution? Oh well...

Mick was still down and dirty in those days wasn't he, wonder what possessed him to become "corporate Mick" in 1981, too bad Bill German didn't have anything to say about that in his book.
