Thank you very much for letting us know.
A nice piece of Stones history.

Live at the Max was a huge disappointment even though I saw it at a IMAX-theathre. It gave me a fake feeling. Which it probably was...

Here is part 1 embedded, parts 2 and 3 are on youtube

That's strange. I never expected that they would also overdub studio closeup images to the films.

The one thing I love about Live At The Max is the WAY it was shot.. Unlike the short attention span filming and 1995 sideway camera angles of the later concert films, Max finds a great shot, and holds it. A wide angle shot that stays for 5 seconds is UNHEARD OF in this day and age. I find many of the post 89 Stones shows difficult to watch due to the crappy editing. It is as if every DP has attention deficit disorder and is afraid to hold a shot for more than a half second.

I always considered it a lesser experience until I acquired the Blu-ray which finally reveals the film in it's entire glory, not only is this the only way to get the true 16:9 picture instead of the cropped 4:3 on the DVD, but the sound is redeemed from compression into a full HD experience, and IMO it's worth it for the visual experience on your HDTV.

They show this on Palladia channel (in Highdef) and I think it looks and sounds great.

I saw the film at Cosmonova at The Museum of natural History in Stockholm. You can't get better facilities than that. It means a projection dome with a total surface area of 760 square meters, seats tilted at different angles depending on which row they are located, " six channel sound system, with a separate sub-bass system, than can cover a frequency range from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Total amplification for the system is 15,200 Watts, delivering up to 110 dB sound pressure levels. The main sound source for the six channel system is a DDP-2 digital hard disk-based system. A 35 mm mag track and a DA-88 player are used for back-up. And so on: [www.nrm.se]

Still, I wasn't impressed...

Saw it twice at the IMAX theatre in Rotterdam ... way back then ... I was amazed, it was wonderful.

My feelings exactly after seeing it at the La Geode IMAX dome in La Villette when it came out in 1981...too bland, or something.

Having said that thanks for sharing the "making of"

I watched the documentary with lots of shots of the Steel Wheel/Urban Jungle. The Stones played very fast and charged up versions of their classic songs. They were younger and they were kicking ass big time. Now the size and the production is insane but still the rolling stones were very very strong and prepared to kill in 1989/90.
Rock and roll,
Mops

Keith's magic hand at the 26 second mark is very impressive

Live at the MAX was great - except for the inclusion of Sad Sad Sad.

That is absolutely incredible...At first I thought you saw this in the new tiny screen theaters that try to pass it off as IMAX but I saw this post and i'd love to see any IMAX movie in the place you go to. If I may ask what you found fake about it? Is it technical, production, the pre-canned shots they had to do over when there was no concert taking place?

an imax film about beavers? now that sounds interesting.

The first exposure to a Stones concert was Live at the Max. I forget the year, it must have been when it first came out. I remember the location. It was inside this giant ball:

Funny that the INXS song they play in the middle of part 2, during the part advertising for next week's episode of In Concert, sounds very similar to Look What The Cat Dragged In lol.

The Imax.

Too much rehearsed choreography from Mick.

Striding everywhere.. stop, pull an angular shape.. stride somewhere else.

Do that stretched palm thing.

Keith was trying to match him, is this where the leg kicking nose flicking nonsense started?

Just play the music guys.

I will upload more!!! Finally I know how to upload video's!

Couldn't resist sharing with you all!

Basically it's a planetarium with a built-in IMAX cinema. I guess there are a handfull of these around the world. I saw a couple of nature films there and the overall impact of the format is mesmerizing. It's as if you are in the movie. I don't think that the format was well made use of on the Stones film though. It didn't impress me or my friend. To me it looked as a cut and paste job. They should have filmed it straight of. It would have been more honest. The real live feeling isn't there.
