The Rolling Stones: Sweet Summer Sun - Hyde Park Live

For any avid fan of the stones this film is a must. Jagger at 70 is amazing! All the classics are here including their latest 'Doom and Gloom'! The visuals of the crowd and the surroundings really bring you close to the whole atmosphere of the concert. Jagger hams it up with a shapely, soulful, sister on 'Gimme Shelter'. Even Mick Taylor makes guest appearance! For me this film is more real than 'Shine a Light'. Perhaps the director was trying to capture the essence of the Stones. Their are flashbacks to their earlier years for that taste of nostalgia. The sound is simple and cut back to the classic rock formula. Richard's mainly uses his classic old telecaster while Ronnie Woods is sporting a shiny new one. This is my first review but I felt compelled to share my views on this film. This film gives you a taste of what they were like and what they can still produce. As Molly Meldrum use to say 'Do yourself a favor'!
