REVIEW: |
Undoubtedly
the 40 years celebration for the Stones career was way more interesting than
the 50th and 60th anniversaries, with a World Tour full
of surprises in the setlist as well as in the locations chosen.
The Wiltern
Theatre 2002 concert has been the focus of the 60 years BBC TV celebration this
summer; unfortunately, not the whole show but just 69 minutes, however, 4
tracks from this concert were officially released by the Stones themselves on
Four Flicks in 2003. Many DVD-R were soon released especially in Japan
featuring the BBC broadcast, for instance by Empress Valley or from other unknown
labels. In this new edition of the Wiltern DVD though Uxbridge has included two
more tracks from that concert: Can’t You Hear Me Knocking that features Jim
Keltner on percussions and Jumping Jack Flash broadcasted at the time by Fox TV.
It shall also be mentioned that Everybody Needs Somebody To Love was included
in Live Licks 2cds. Apart from Solomon Burke duetting with Jagger on Everybody
Needs Somebody To Love with the famous scene where he donated Jagger a huge
cloak naming him the true King of Rock’n Roll, this was a peculiar show anyway
with seldom played songs like Stray Cat Blues, Hand Of Fate, No Expectations,
Dance, That’s How Strong My Love Is, Going To A Go Go, Rock Me Baby, You Don’t
Have To Mean It and Tumbling Dice played for the only time as encore, too bad
the whole show has not been broadcasted, the Stones themselves having decided
to release the full Madison Square Garden concert from January 18th
2003 instead. This is a wonderful release, the video and audio quality being
superb with a multicamera work that is able to show the band from every
conceivable angle in full 16:9, the setlist helps of course to mark this as one
of the best late Stones shows also thanks to the sidemen on stage: Bobby Keys,
the New West Horns, Blondie Chaplin and Lisa Fischer. There are some drawbacks,
however, for instance Ron Wood solo on pedal steel guitar for No Expectations
is overshadowed by Keith Richards electric guitar accompaniment that should
have been lower instead. Very enjoyable is You Don’t Have To Mean It with Ron
Wood on organ and a fantastic brass section that shines also on Rock Me Bay ad
Bitch. Particular is also Tumbling Dice long version that closes the show with
its extended refrain at the end. The bonus tracks are Can’t You Hear Me
Knocking with Jim Keltner on percussions from the BBC too which is just the
audio played while a series of pictures run through the screen and Jumping Jack
Flash as presented by Fox TV from an end of the year broadcast.
