Customer Reviews

Even if you've got "Four Flicks", you still need this
Granted, "Four Flicks" is a titan among DVDs, but this 2007 follow-up is not half bad, if you're a fan. There are two complete concerts - a rocking stadium show in Austin, Texas featuring some rarities in "Bob Wills Is Still The King" and Keith's great rendition of an obscure Buddy Holly cut and a rare outing for "She's So Cold"; and an enormous show played on the Copacabana Beach in Rio where you really can tap into the the massive audiences huge level of enthusiasm and excitement. DVD three features performances from Asia and South America, again featuring some rarities and some new cuts from "The Biggest Bang" album such as "Rough Justice", "Rain Fall Down" and "Streets Of Love". The fourth DVD features a shorter and far less interseting documentary as featured on "Four Flicks" but the cheaper price reflects this.

Five years older than the band were in "Four Flicks" they still show no signs of tiredness and the level of performance is top notch and relentless. The Stones never seem to amaze. Great shows. Great DVD. If you are a fan you will appreciate both this and "Four Flicks".

Brio in Rio excells expectations
Another stunning box set of dvds from the worlds greatest rock band ever. I have the Four Flicks set, which is also amazing, and was not sure whether this would be as good. Well it is and it is sufficiently different to warrant purchase. The highlights for me were the Rio concert, absolutely incredible show and preparation, and the Superbowl halftime mini-concert, incredible energy and ,again, organisation.

Essential purchase if you already have Four Flicks, if not get it first.

The Stones STILL Love You Live!
After the excellent 'Four Flicks' dvd showcased The Stones to such effect I wondered about the POINT of 'The Biggest Bang', how many MORE versions of these songs do you really need? Also, as they age, how can their performances do anything except slowly diminish? Well all this is true...BUT these old guys can STILL put on a great show! True, Mick can't sing with quite the gusto of a few years past and Keith on the whole can't really solo properly anymore but the Stones' flame has NOT gone out!
The Austin show on disc 1 is a good stadium gig, highlights include 'Sway' - good solo from Ronnie doing Mick Taylor finest moment-, a cracking 'Ain't Too Proud To Beg' and a high energy 'Get Off My Cloud' which is a joy to hear! There are also two unusual cover versions 'Bob Willis Is Still The King' & 'Learning The Game' which are both interesting , the latter especially so as Keith makes it sound like something HE wrote with his wonderful ragged off hand performance.
The Rio de Janeiro show on disc 2 is worth it just for the shots of the truly MASSIVE crowd of 1.2 million fans! There are good versions of 'It's Only Rock n' Roll', 'Midnight Rambler' and especially a great cover of Ray Charles' 'Night Time Is The Right Time'. Disc 3 features selections from concerts in Japan, China and Argentina. Theres a great performance of 'Gimme Shelter' from Shanghai but the real treasure is a truly incredible show in Buneos Aires. The huge stadium crowd generate awesome noise and energy and the whole band rise to the occasion. 'Happy' plays on in a wonderful jam as Keith starts improvising a song he has largely played much the same way for 30 years! 'Miss You' has the crowd doing the vocal parts louder than Mick and great guitar licks from Ronnie and especially Keith - who CAN still do it when he wants to! 'Paint It Black' sounds like a football chant - the crowd are so loud and 'Satisfaction' has THAT riff sung by the crowd louder than Keith can play it! Again, this song is extended and clearly improvised as seemingly no one wants the song to end - the energy passing between the crowd and the band is almost tangible.. man what a show! Disc 4 has some interesting short documentaries - the best being the one about their performance on the 2006 Superbowl with a good version of 'Satisfaction'. The Stones can't turn back the clock, but as this dvd illustrates, occasionally they can still BEAT it - if you are a long time Stones fan you won't regret getting 'The Biggest Bang'.
