Thomas M Dec 12 Like being there with the best seats in the house! Actually like being on stage with the lads! Better sound quality than any sound system I've ever heard! Definitely a must see for Stones fans! 1989 Steel Wheels tour ended up in Wembley Stadium summer of 1990 and Mick was at his peak as were the rest of the band! Back up singers and musicians were also 5 Stars! See more ARMAND Dec 11 The filming sound and editing See more Marco C @Marcovarrub Dec 13 I think back in the 90’s they had great version of this extraordinary band with many 60’s hits. I loved the setlist and the stage props. See more Jim L. @ajlavoie Dec 11 Terrible. Fake, AI generated. Ripoff. See more 05/18/2013 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. See more 06/05/2011 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. See more Read all reviews
