Nope, anyway it's nice to watch Bill and The boys with their Fender Guitars...

2 1 2 0

What I found interesting was seeing how they overdubbed (I don't know what else to call it when you shoot synced sound to new film) to the music and Mick was 300 feet away from the mic for Ruby Tuesday.

And Keith's blown intro for HTW was a horrible overdub - he does nothing on film that is on audio.

1990 was still early days for iMax films. The Stones didn't want to interrupt the concert to set up shots so they filmed the concert and then afterwards did close-up's miming to the soundboard recording in an empty stadium for the cameras to pick up shots that would not have been possible to do without ruining the view or delaying the show for audiences. Not everything in the film was done afterhours, but the best shots certainly were. Not exactly disingenuous since you're still hearing what they played and sang a few hours earlier.

I understand that. It's just funny. There must've been a pretty serious budget to allow such a screw up as the intro to HTW to be left the way it was!

And one thing I remember reading about that tour was that the cowbell for the song was sampled at 3 different rates, giving them the option of changing the timbre and key of the note for whatever reason, yet there is whoever "playing" the cowbell.

Plus wasn't it during this tour when Jagger began to sing something like "Honky tonk, Honky tonk Women "& repeat it instead of singing as he used to do "it's a honnnhonhonhoonky tonk women" if you understand what I mean ?

No. Listen to HTW on Love You Live (the best version of the song ever I think). The 'honky tonk, honky tonk' chorus is much better than that long one worded chorus.

Didn't he already do that at Hyde Park? Of course, he did it "properly" again later on, but still...

one word comes to mind when i think of The Rolling Stones At The Max: cheesy.

Ah, yes, to a point. But the beginning was very cool. And in the proper theatre, it was nice and loud. Start Me Up was good, as was IORR, including the screw up. Ruby Tuesday was an absolute snore.

It did a great job of conveying the energy that was onstage.

The thing with IMAX is that pretty much everything looks (and sounds) amazing in that format. You can't go wrong with it. Therefore it was a huge disappointment to watch "Stones at the Max". My overall impression is that it was a fake, mimed concert with heavy overdubbing.

I believe it was also the first movie of its kind ie concert movies. Nowadays it's done much better. Like Shine A Light.

I have complete dokumentary somewhere,its about 30mins long.

Was "SAL" made in IMAX and shown at IMAX theatres? I saw it in a regular Movie Theatre.

Bragging about what ? Having seen the movie 4 times on theaters or haven't seen him on ImAX theatres ?

Does Bill look even more bored than usual in this video.

Thanks for posting. I only caught the film on TV last year and enjoyed it more than I expected. Don't mind the overdubbing, really...Keith said GET YER YA YAS OUT has overdubbing. An album worshiped by some (not me).

There is a "concert movie" from the early 70s you should seek out: it's titled LADIES & GENTLEMEN, THE ROLLING STONES .

funny you mention that. I was trying to figure out when he changed the way he sings JJF. From "but it's aaaaaallllllllllrriiiiiighttttt now....", to "but it's all right, yes it's alright..."

He was already singing it that way in '69 (see GS).

No, it was before the IMAX technology. I enjoyed Stones @ the IMAX but Shine a Light was a better movie & Scorcese made good use of the format.

It's a good movie and HTW is a good song but that Mick's shirt is really annoying, it's almost hard to watch the movie because of that.

And his short hair style is also a bit annoying too...
