What's the word I'm looking for here?...oh right: LAME.

I will not accept this as the ONLY product from the tour. Hyde Park wasn't even THE best show of the tour and they ought to know because they filmed every show...they should have realized that when they reviewed the hours of footage they amassed over two months.

I'm going to guess that your wish will be their command. They are going to issue a DVD full of guest appearances and it will be all Taylor Swift and John Mayer and the lameness that was the 2013 tour.

I just want to hear the band with Mick Taylor. Put THOSE performances out for us.

Really, we should have no expectations, just like the song…
wake up, seriously, you're asleep, and you think you're awake…
why do I say that? Because this release shows they are asleep too, you wake up enough to see that, complain and then go right back to sleep…
It's said all the time, buy or don't… we have zero say in what happens… none… I'm not even sure if some of us actually decide if you buy it or not… you may be on cruise control at this point…

the audio was cool… seeing the Glasto stuff bored me… I don't think a DVD does it for me more than one viewing…

sorry if i sound like an ass, but we get so mad over nothing… this thread is more altamont than hyde park, can't we all just cool out…
heehee…
fuck ya, gazaa… will ya!!!!

The Rolling Stones, 2013. Adapting the old Rocks Off maxim of "You'll get nothing - and like it" in their own inimitable way!

Well, almost nothing!

more like you'll get what we give you, and not like it… but you'll buy it anyway, despite we fucked you over before…

Hard to say, but I don't think so. Its either a long view of the park from the back of the field with the stage in the background (which is what I think it is) or a view of the field taken FROM the stage. If its the latter, it could be Kensington Palace (official residence of Prince William and Prince Harry amongst others) as its around that end of the park.

It's sad to say, but unless it's new material, I don't even bother with the details of these rubbish announcements. They seem to put together the most useless packages and it just goes to how much they care. The Exile rerelease gave me some hope and then they did that absolutely useless Some Girls release which looked like it was more for contractual reasons. I don't even give a toss about the track listing.

It wouldn't really have made sense to compile a DVD from the in-door concerts, if they're hoping to get punters to see them on the same stage later in the year / in 2014, shirley?

The Hyde Pork gigs were two-offs, with lots of original / unique filmic possibilities, and a celebration of summer, and hearing the Stoonz play their ditties 2013-style(e) and outdoors - while side-stepping the already (fairly widely) seen Glastonburger, seems fair to me.

Emo, BOB plus another could have filled the space used by the rambling Midnight, perhaps, but then that would have excluded swee' Taylor, causing some firm fans to go nut-cake and want to root their budgerigar.

Bob Clearmountain was on-board and that is dandy, shirley?

Seems like a more than reasonable lil' package for 'mid-tour' and a respectable nod to dear ol' Lan-dan Toon.

Perhaps I was the only one who liked Some Girls Deluxe. Admittedly it didn't contain anything that built or reflected the NY 'rap' of 'Shattered' (the tune that inspired / opened the door for / jumped ahead of Grandmaster Flash & the FF's 'The Message') or the alternate new groove of 'Miss You' (released before Chic's 'Le Freak' and 'Good Times').... but... 'Do You Think...', 'Spare Parts' and 'Don't Be A Stranger' were especially splendiddles to mi mynd.

Perhaps my prob is that I like them too much (albeit in a bro-ish way rather than spousal way).

My issue with the Some Girls rerelease wasn't the tracks, although I would have liked if they would have worked up I Need You. My issue is that they just put it out without much energy behind it. It was as if, we spent our energy on Exile and we can't be bothered now. Even the magazine interviews were far less. If they can't be tossed, it sort of makes me not give a toss. You might say that about a lot of their recent exertions, but some are worse than others.

from the 'I shit you not' department....

the three missing songs on the blu ray/DVD (before they make me run, Tumbling dice, Paint it Black) will be released exclusively on the Japanese edition. Whether its on the regular release there or just on the deluxe, I'm not sure.

They actually have the cheek to call it 'bonus' material too.

So, basically, Japan gets what should be retitled the 'standard edition' and the rest of the world gets Omaha'ed with the 'substandard edition'

I'm beginning to think that article in that old magazine is true, do The rolling stones really like their fans, or couldn't care less.

The way they did this made some people's heart skip a beat: they announced 'BIG NEWS' through push messages from the Stones app. I know several people in the Netherlands who expected news on the European Tour. Hell, even I did for half a sec and I knew this set was coming. Even if I actually wanted another official live disc the announcement would've been a let down.

Cool title though. You'd wish they would've played the song they took the line from.

Yeah, but they didnt know in advance it was going to be such a hot day. Would have been a dumb title had it been pissing down!

here's one to think about. The Stones routinely issue a DVD from each tour.

How many of those releases have included shows that YOU were at? Even if only a few songs were included (like Rio 2006 on Biggest Bang DVD - I know Jizzy was at that one)

Im sure some of you go back further than I do. Glen had a friend with him at Hyde Park in July who was at not only the 1969 Hyde Park show but the Rock n Roll Circus as well, which I thought was quite amazing.

My 'official' video/DVD releases lists are :

'At The Max' (1991) - Wembley 24 & 25.8.90
'Four Flicks' (2003) - Twickenham 24.8.03
'Sweet Summer Sun' (2013) - Hyde Park 6.7.13

(if Voodoo gets round to updating the setlist page I sent him, you'd be able to check them for yourself..)
