REVIEW: |
The 1969 USA tour has been on Stones
collectors radar for just 50 years. Following the release of Get Yer Ya Ya s Out
and especially of the Gimme Shelter movie the band on the big screen with the
loud soundtrack attracted many fans all over the world and that tour cemented
their relationship with the Rolling Stones to this day.
In retrospect it seemed wrong that Altamont
was the focus of the movie, and it has always been felt the need to actually
view a full concert footage. This project from renowned Stones fan and video
editor Midimannz was decided a year ago, after a meeting and chat with Sam
Cutler at a local event, when he finally considered to create a real 50th
Anniversary 1969 USA tour video, one where Altamont was framed away from the
successful concerts the band put on as they roared through the States. Thanks
to many rare recordings gathered from other good people around the world who
were interested in the project and wanted to help this project saw the light of
day. Some footage was too grainy or too jerky, however it has been managed to
squeeze out some good bits. Live footage of tracks like Sympathy For The Devil
and Love In Vain were unavailable, so was decided to coax them from other
recordings, but will serve for this purpose. Much has also been coloured to fit
the times. The holy grail arrived late this year in the form of an almost
complete beautiful audio recording of Boston
1969 2nd show. Now the goal was to have a full concert out before Boston 29th November
1969 50th Anniversary.
The video was synced to fit the non-overdubbed audio, overall sounds have been
somewhat balanced and merged for continuity during the fade in/fade out of
chapters.
DVD sources include 1969 (Jointrip), Ya Ya s bonus footage, Gimme Shelter
and YouTube videos. Also notable is private
sourced Detroit
footage with sound (Stray Cat Blues) which is a first. All was merged with the Boston audio where
possible. There was no video for Sympathy For The Devil or Love In Vain which
was any good so it was used Jagger s close up footage from David Frost sped it
up 5-6% to fit Boston audio. Same for Love In Vain where was used Ed Sullivan
Love In Vain close up footage that was sped up around 3-4% to fit. Midnight
Rambler has the last minute or so of actual footage. Audience noise between the
tracks was applied for an easier transition between chapters and the entire
sound volume has been levelled out. On the extras logo removal was applied for
easier viewing. The press conference was edited with sharpener and the KSAN
Audio was applied to Gimme Shelter and Altamont
clips.
Too bad the Maysles footage that was shown in a theatre before the film
director passed away was not recorded, until then this will probably remain the
best video tribute to that fabulous 1969 tour. Kudos to the great artwork for
DVD BluRay from Jurgen.
