I thought it sucked. Lousy camera work, lousy lighting, uneven stretches, etc.

Have you ever tried to film a live concert? If you get anything useable at all, you practically wet yourself.

At least IMAX can reuse the footage when they release a movie about landing on Mars...

Stop Making Sense
was better, IMO - but then again the band gave Demme full range in setting up for the show.

/love The Last Waltz though, don't get me wrong

I like Demme's Storefront Hitchcock better than his Stop Making Sense. But I love them both.

Sorry Marty, you're 35 years too late. The best film about the Stones and Rock n Roll is Robert Frank's C0cksucker Blues. And it will never see the light of day as long as Jagger is still breathing.

/Lucky to have seen it twice at film festivals

I wish this had been done with the 1980 The Wall tour...

I remember a lot of money was spent on their 1983 film "Let's Spend The Night Together" so that it could be shown in IMAX format but, at the time, most IMAX theaters were associated with science museums and were dedicated to only showing educational movies and refused to show the film. Mick's insistence that this be released in a record number of IMAX theaters may be some kind of settling of the score.

If Marty's pissed off, that means "Gimme Shelter" won't be on the soundtrack of a Scorcese film...for the fourth time.
