Movie Reviews of The Rolling Stones - Four Flicks
Movie Review: Four Motts
Summary: 5 Stars
The Rolling Stones started out in an Ealing rhythm and blues club in 1962, and by the release of their fourth chart topping single 'Satisfaction' in 1965, they had become the world's number one rock 'n' roll band, and with just the odd glitch along the way that is where they have remained for the last forty years. When their fortieth anniversary loomed, meetings were held to decide how to celebrate this amazing feat. A greatest hits album was conjured up, aptly titled 'Forty Licks', and a world tour was organized. It was decided to give the tour a twist. As well as the usual stadium concerts they would squeeze in as many arena and theatre concerts. The idea was such a success - and the boys were enjoying themselves so much - that the tour kept on getting extended and extended. The Stones packed out everywhere they played, appearing before 500,000 people at a festival in Toronto, and as little as 3,500 at the London Astoria.
In New York and London they did all three sorts of concerts, giving their fans the opportunity to see the band in whatever environment they chose. Each set list was tailored to fit the size of concert and which country they were in.
This 4 DVD box set showcases the ambitious concept of the 'Licks 2202/2003 World Tour'. Three dramatically different shows on three different stages, with three different productions, and three different set lists. Only three songs make it onto each set list with 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' bringing the set to a rousing climax every night. 'Brown Sugar' and 'Honky Tonk Woman' making it every night. Of the three DVD's devoted to each separate concert you get the excitement of an arena concert at New York's legendary Madison Square Garden; the giant spectacle of London's Twickenham Stadium; and the intimacy of the historic Olympia Theatre in Paris. In all over fifty songs spread over the four DVD's, over nine hours of the Rolling Stones. Not once does the entertainment level drop below eleven.
The first DVD is a collection of enlightening documentaries about the tour, plus a selection of bonus tracks that did not make it onto the set lists of the following concerts. Each concert has special guest appearances and features such as backstage passes, commentaries from the band themselves, and select-a-Stone feature where you can be your own director and follow the progress of your favorite Stone for several songs.
The Stones are in amazing form, and have way too much energy than is right for people coming to the end of their sixth decade.
The dapper Charlie Watts is precision itself throughout, plus he is hilarious during the documentaries.
Ron Wood plays some blistering solos, always being the perfect foil to the other guitarist. Ron Wood has been a Rolling Stone for thirty years now, but is still considered to be the new boy. Maybe because more than 90% of the songs played at these concerts were originally written and recorded before Ron Wood joined the band.
Sir Mick Jagger is a mass of endless energy and is still the best front man in rock 'n' roll. During the first DVD you get the impression that Mick Jagger still thinks of himself as leader of the band, but clearly there are two others who indulge him, but still pull their own strings.
Star of the show is Keef Richards, the original rock 'n' roll riff master, spraying Chuck Berry riffs from his guitar on the rockers, taking 'Satisfaction' on different journeys when the mood takes him, and playing the blues as only he can. Keith Richards' solo spots each night not only give the show an added depth, but are always a highlight.
There are too many other musical highlights to mention in one review (well, possibly the truly amazing version of 'Midnight Rambler', as the band and audience seemed to enjoy this particular number so much, it is hard to fathom why The song is not played every night). I will finish by listing down what you get for your money.
No, I cannot forgive them either for not turning up in Bangkok, but do not cut off your nose to spite your face; this is a very fine collection. Take the money you got on your refunded ticket and spend it on `Forty Flicks'.
