Sweet Summer Sun: Hyde Park Live[DVD/2 CD]

I am the Stones Authority. How do you not love this? The Stones playing their native London, England, 50 years after the fact? I am watching it right now so to be sure to write an accurate review! This is the 8th time I am watching it on Blu-Ray for folks scoring at home. Okay, they are old. We can't skirt it anymore. They are playing the hits, not much original material here, okay. Given that, if I should've ponied up whatever money I had to fly there and pay the scalpers what they wanted. This show is fantastic! Nothing bad here. People are complaining about the pace of the editing!? Really!? Who are these dead goofs!? This is easily the best produced, best photographed and best edited performance video that the Stones have ever done, bar none. See my other reviews for relative comparison. This beautiful presentation makes up for anything that 50 years has taken away from the band. These versions of these songs leave you feeling flush. Hi-Lites!? All of it, including "It's Only Rock and Roll", "Ruby Tuesday" - Just about want to cry when I hear and see this version. "You've Got the Silver" with Keith, fantastic. My one criticism of this disk is that the did not include in the regular show or the extras Mick Taylor playing "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'". Hey, "Midnight Rambler" and Taylor are a beautiful thing. Stupid Bill Wyman! Taylor is awesome. "Midnight Rambler" - probably not played live since when? 71? 72? Here it is with Mick Taylor and it just rocks. But I have already seen the bootleg videos on YouTube of "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" and that is far more satisfying for a Stones purist by a long stretch. By a very long stretch! Let us all hope that it surfaces somewhere on a professional release and soon. My one big huge complaint about this release. Damn, how good is it to see Taylor rocking with them? Doesn't it bring it all back? Everything that was good and amazing about "Sticky Fingers", "Exile On Main Street", or "Goats Head"?All right, they all look like hell, but they are so good. Instead off us all saying, "They look like old farts", shouldn't we be asking, "Why does music today suck so bad?", And why has it really sucked for more than 20+ years now?State your case. Who in the last 20+ plays as good as these old F's do on this disk production? Kiss my ass. No one.This video just goes on and on delivering the goods. Unfortunately, it can't give you everything that you want, despite the really good version of "You Can't Always Get What You Want". There is just too much that the Stones could do. Could've done for this night, at this time, at this place. "Sway", "Beast of Burden", "Waiting On a Friend", "Brand New Car", "Biggest Mistake", "Moonlight Mile". Fifty years. Fifty incredible years. Watch this video, play all of your albums, CD's, DVD's celebrate everything it is to be the Stones. To be a Stones fan. Dear God, I love this band!

After 50 years, it is impressive to see the energy that this band brings to this concert. Keith Richards begins by saying that "A gig is a gig." The concert DVD begins with some background on the Hyde Park concert--and the last time that the Rolling Stones played here. Obvious is their age. Man, I remember seeing them on TV when they were young and fresh faces in the music world. The concert DVD is pretty well done. The staging is pretty impressive. No need to go over every song (it would take too long), but a sampling follows:"You Start Me Up." An energetic version--not what one might expect of 70 year old musicians in rock and roll. Jagger dances and the band plays well. The rhythm section performs well (Charlie Watts and Darryl Jones). It looks, literally, like the band is enjoying itself performing after 50 years."It's Only Rock and Roll." Nice feature in this set: names of early rockers on the screen behind the band--Bo Diddley, Jerry Leww Lewis, and so on. Nice guitar work. Chuck Leavell on keyboards does well."Street Fighting Man." One of my favorites. "Everywhere I hear the sound of marching charging feet. . ." Keith and Ron look pretty old, but their guitar work is fresh. "'Cuz in sleepy London town there's no place for a street fighting man." Mick is very energetic in his singing and dancing."Honky Tonk Women." Another classic rock and roll song. Still done energetically. Bobby Keyes and brass play well."Happy." Keith's song. His voice is a wreck here (and has been for some time), but it works pretty well as a song."Midnight Rambler." After all these years, still an impressive look into a dark place. Mick Taylor (the successor to Brian Jones and the predecessor of Ron Wood) joins the Stones to goods effect, Then guitars of Wood, Taylor, and Richards--with Darryl Jones' bass--work well together. The guitars create a wall of sound--with Jagger on harmonica adding to the effect."Jumping Jack Flash." One of the great guitar riffs. Watts' drumming is a wonder here. Wood and Richards play well off of one another. It seems somewhat surprising to me that the Stones actually seem to still enjoy performing together."Sympathy for the Devil." Stage goes dark. Telling and chilling images on the screen behind the band. Then, the first few notes. "Please allow me to introduce myself." Keith does a nice solo."Brown Sugar." Up tempo and surprisingly fresh."(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Mick Taylor returns, to good effect. The fuzztone begins the song--and here we go. A great deal of energy and a freshness to the band's approach.Overall? A terrific concert album.

I own just about every Rolling Stones DVD there is. Every once in awhile I think it's the best one I've ever seen. Shine A Light was like that for me; But today; after waiting two days; with my Prime Membership, Sweet Summer Fun - Hyde Park Live (Blu-Ray) arrived.Well I think it may be the most exciting concert I've ever seen the Stones do. It had been 44 years since they first played Hyde Park and it was also Mick Taylor's first concert with them at the time. Well as they are about to do Midnight Rambler, Mick Jagger reminisces about how Mick Taylor made the song so special. WELL, out comes Mick Taylor. He's gained a few pounds; but his guitar playing is better than ever. The late Bobby Keys is also featured on sax. The quality of the Blu-Ray in just perfect and the DTS sound is magnificent. Charlie also does a great change up in that song. I could go on and on. Thanks Amazon for getting it to me quickly. It was shot in 2013 so my expectations weren't really high. Well it was over the top for me today.

Para mí el mejor concierto de Los Rolling Stones. La magia de Jegger y los otros integrantes no tiene comparación. Este concierto en Blue Ray había sido uno de mis anhelos en la vida...

とにかく最高、ただ高額ですね。寺田なんとかさんの解説で高いのなら、もうやめてほしい。

dvd incompatible en France manipulation fastidieuse pour pouvoir le lire en France c'est inadmissible a l'heure actuelle je rachèterais plus

Possiedo diversi live degli Stones ma devo dire che loro sembrano essere come il buon vino che invecchia e migliora, altrimenti non mi spiegherei una performance di così alto livello da dei (pluri) settanteni. Il concerto è splendido, la qualità audio e video ottima, non posso che consigliarlo. I vecchietti terribili hanno ancora energia da vendere !!!
