From The Vault: Hyde Park 1969[DVD]

Must have for Stones fans. First live performance with Mick Taylor on board.

this has been around unofficially for years, but finally the official release. i figured an old video like this would be grainy on today's large tvs, so i just bought the dvd. yes, the pic is grainy, but not bad & very watchable. the sound is great, rich & full.the Stones here are filmed well, good lighting & camera angles. & the Stones are at their loose, raw and blusey before they honed themselves into polished pros. i like this period of the Stones best. the added documentary shots of the crowd & Mick & Marianne add to the fun. this is indeed a time capsule of them in 1969. this was a tribute show to the newly deceased Brian Jones & the entry of Mick Taylor, the start of the second golden age of the Stones.some complain that this is short, about 1 hour, but the hour is packed. highlights include raw versions of "Jumping Jack Flash", "Honky Tonk Women" & "Love in Vain".this is an essential video. great!

....TV concert was originally intended to be televised ONCE and done. The concert itself was originally intended as an introduction to the so-called New & Improved Rolling Stones.....but was made into a memorial to its founding member Brian Jones who was murdered just two days before the concert. During the concert scenes, look closely and you'll notice a giant blow up of the gate fold sleeve for their current album Beggars Banquet.The band itself sounds fine in this DVD but the video transfer leaves a bit to be desired. I've seen bootlegged copies that are as good as this officially released DVD. I sure wished the Stones had put a bit more time and effort into this one as it deserves better treatment. Is it worth spending the $10 or so to get it? That depends on how much you like the Stones. I'm glad I have it but I just wished the band had put more and better content in it. I would have paid double for a well put together version of this DVD.

A few unhappy mofos posted negative stuff but don,t buy into it. I loved it. English appear 2 be a lot less "dicky" than their American counterparts at altamont. Seems like people had a good time and nothing got out of hand like it did at altamont. Also, u.s hells angels were definitely way dickier than th English chapter of hells angels, who seem to be pretty cool actually and are just doing their job versus beating people up for no reason like those fools that were the u.s. Hells angels did at altamont. Musically, stones sound awesome,considering Mick Taylor had just joined

This is far from the Stones' best performance. The band is frequently out of tune and the sound system is inadequate, to put it politely. Chopped up for a TV documentary, there are no complete songs --- every performance is interrupted by interview footage or some other digression. Songs like "I'm Free" and "No Expectations" don't seem suited to live performance and fall flat.However, for Stones completists, it's essential, if only because it features the introduction of Mick Taylor as the replacement for Brian Jones, who died a few days before the concert (he had been fired from the Stones earlier that year).This U.S. Blu-Ray release offers nothing new, although the sound and audio are somewhat better than DVD releases. If you already have this on DVD, you won't miss much by skipping this one.

I saw the original concert and wanted memories.The parcel was stolen and I never received.I suspect the people upstairs.

Outstanding

Being a stones fan I had to have it for the collection.
