      kevin c The Glimmer Twins and the gang during the 1989-1990 Steel Wheels Tour live in concert at Wembley Stadium as well as in Italy and Germany. Filmed in IMAX, this looks fantastic on a five storey screen and even in your home theatre. The Stones hit the stage with Start Me Up and hit all the classics in this 90 minute concert. Looks and sounds awesome! This also marked the final tour with original Stone Bill Wyman. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I first saw this IMAX concert at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle and was blown away! I was a nominal Stones fan then. After watching this documentary, I became a full-on fan and saw them live two times at the old Kingdome. Those concerts were worth the price of admission. However, seeing them on the BIG big screen with precision sound, was really cool. This evening I watched it again at home. On my small screen. With the "concert" setting on the sound. And cranked. Loved it all over again! And with high-def TVs these days, you can still count the wrinkles on Keith Richards' face. They were around 49 years old back then. I kept looking at them thinking, man I hope I can move as good when I'm their age. And I'm 52! I kinda wish I could see them again on this years' concert tour, but I doubt it would have the same impact as it did for me in the 90s. A good memory. I think I'll keep it that way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Good capture of a great concert. The Stones rock out as only they can, and it's all there on film. As you would want from a live recording, there are audience shots and other aspects which capture the true spirit of a live concert. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member These "boys" really know how to put on a show. I have trouble getting out of bed in the morning and these guys smoke, drink and god knows what else. A grand introduction into the world of Mick Jagger and band members. Grand, expensive stage props. Mick jumping and cartwheeling all over the place on stage. Charlie Watts sits emotionally cool at drums. The Stones concerts are over the top all the time, and on purpose. These boys know you usually have to sweat a little to pack em in. Play list in order of performance: Continental Drift Start Me Up Sad Sad Sad Tumbling Dice Ruby Tuesday Rock and a Hard Place Honky Tonk Woman You Can't Always Get What You Want Happy Paint it Black 2000 Light Years from Home Sympathy for the Devil Street Fighting Man Its Only Rock n Roll Brown Sugar Satisfaction Its only Rock and Roll Image Entertainment again excels at filming this live concert Steel Wheels tour. The dvd is THX mastered to give the choice of PCM stereo soundtrack OR a Dolby digital 5.1 surround soundtrack. Color, 85 minutes, always look for Image Entertainment for filming excellence. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The film that led me to never miss a Stones concert in Toronto. My favourite which I find more rewarding than even the Marty's recent attempt. In fact, I would say that all future Stones concert films copy this format..and don't have the benefit of having a Bill Wyman.
