This movie is a fabulouos view of the first huge, modern and high scale tour of the Rolling Stones: the 1981-1982 tour.
In 1981 and 1982 they performed in two different stages: stadiums and pavilions. The movie is like a documentary and shows in a very sober way how was that tour. You can see the band performing in the two kind of stages. I think that the gigs were in the States.
I definitively recommend this movie! But the problem is to find it.

This is director Hal Ashby's (RIP)take on the 1981 Stones' tour. The colors are bright, the sound is perfect, and the selections are varied. BUT...they look and sound like they're just...not..."rolling." This is indicative of the fact that Mick and Keith weren't getting along at the time; indeed, by the time the Stones should have toured behind "Dirty Work," Mick was out on his own, making an idiot of himself with material like "Just Another Night." Still, he was correct about his choice, though; "Dirty Work" was an abomination. But, yeah, that's skipping ahead. "Let's Spend The Night Together" is quite redeemable with the inclusion of Ian Stewart, on what was, sadly, to be his last tour. It's funny, watching Mick cuss Ron Wood out (this seems to be a running gag during the first ten songs), and "Honky Tonk Women" is a hoot: the stage curtains open, and out comes a line of - whew! - scantily clad women, led by Jerry Hall who was Mick's main squeeze at the time. "Honky Tonk," I'll leave that up to you to discern, because Shirley, the great Charlie Watts' wife, makes a very brief, ephemeral cameo, flirting with her man, and Ron Wood's young daughter runs out onstage. But really...it was time that the Stones took some off, and if you don't agree, compare this with "At The Max," the movie about the 1989 tour.

Unsure how many times this DVD has been re-released but nothing has changed. Still just around 86 minutes. Still just in stereo. Still no extras.
Not a really impressive time for them [even after the release of Tatoo You]. Rumours of some in-house tensions at the time.
Seems to me that the songs are faster than it normally would [after all 24 songs in 86 minutes including the opening and closing credits].

This Is The Stones?!
By 1981, The Rolling Stones had lost a lot of the magic. Their singles were hardly making the top 20 and their albums still sold high ("Black And Blue" was number one for nine... Read more

Not the greatest of Stones' performances
The Stones seemed burnt out during the 1981 tour. I've seen better Stones performances in more recent years. I remember watching this video years ago on HBO. Read more
