4 out of 5 stars Ultimate Live Act   October 15, 2008
I love these boys and whilst they are strictly speaking no longer relevant in the 21st centuty, they do put on the best live shows that you will ever see.br /br /Biggest Bang falls just short of the 5 star Four Flicks but in its own way it enables you to relive memorable gigs that you have been to.br /br /If you've never seen the Stones then buy this DVD as an introduction to their stage craft and solid on-stge performance.br /br /If you have seen the boys then this is the change to recapture that night at a venue somewhere in the world.br /br /As the boys sang "It's Only Rock n Roll" and boy do we like it.


5 out of 5 stars Brio in Rio excells expectations   February 21, 2008
Another stunning box set of dvds from the worlds greatest rock band ever. I have the Four Flicks set, which is also amazing, and was not sure whether this would be as good. Well it is and it is sufficiently different to warrant purchase. The highlights for me were the Rio concert, absolutely incredible show and preparation, and the Superbowl halftime mini-concert, incredible energy and ,again, organisation.br /br /Essential purchase if you already have Four Flicks, if not get it first.


4 out of 5 stars The Stones STILL Love You Live!   January 23, 2008
After the excellent 'Four Flicks' dvd showcased The Stones to such effect I wondered about the POINT of 'The Biggest Bang', how many MORE versions of these songs do you really need? Also, as they age, how can their performances do anything except slowly diminish? Well all this is true...BUT these old guys can STILL put on a great show! True, Mick can't sing with quite the gusto of a few years past and Keith on the whole can't really solo properly anymore but the Stones' flame has NOT gone out!br /The Austin show on disc 1 is a good stadium gig, highlights include 'Sway' - good solo from Ronnie doing Mick Taylor finest moment-, a cracking 'Ain't Too Proud To Beg' and a high energy 'Get Off My Cloud' which is a joy to hear! There are also two unusual cover versions 'Bob Willis Is Still The King' 'Learning The Game' which are both interesting , the latter especially so as Keith makes it sound like something HE wrote with his wonderful ragged off hand performance.br /The Rio de Janeiro show on disc 2 is worth it just for the shots of the truly MASSIVE crowd of 1.2 million fans! There are good versions of 'It's Only Rock n' Roll', 'Midnight Rambler' and especially a great cover of Ray Charles' 'Night Time Is The Right Time'. Disc 3 features selections from concerts in Japan, China and Argentina. Theres a great performance of 'Gimme Shelter' from Shanghai but the real treasure is a truly incredible show in Buneos Aires. The huge stadium crowd generate awesome noise and energy and the whole band rise to the occasion. 'Happy' plays on in a wonderful jam as Keith starts improvising a song he has largely played much the same way for 30 years! 'Miss You' has the crowd doing the vocal parts louder than Mick and great guitar licks from Ronnie and especially Keith - who CAN still do it when he wants to! 'Paint It Black' sounds like a football chant - the crowd are so loud and 'Satisfaction' has THAT riff sung by the crowd louder than Keith can play it! Again, this song is extended and clearly improvised as seemingly no one wants the song to end - the energy passing between the crowd and the band is almost tangible.. man what a show! Disc 4 has some interesting short documentaries - the best being the one about their performance on the 2006 Superbowl with a good version of 'Satisfaction'. The Stones can't turn back the clock, but as this dvd illustrates, occasionally they can still BEAT it - if you are a long time Stones fan you won't regret getting 'The Biggest Bang'.


4 out of 5 stars If you already have the four flicks you will be dissapointed   October 7, 2007
  9 out of 10 found this review helpful

When i bought the four flicks i paid 67 euros and i didn't regret it at all.The first thoughts were, what a band! what a performance!br /Well even though i paid 20 euros less than four flicks dvd, biggest bang is a big dissapointment for me.First of all many tracks all the fans would like to be included just don't.Where's ''monkey man'', ''angie'' , ''street fighting man'' and so many others?br /Track list i believe is the most important thing in a concert dvd and the second is the performance.Yes, it isn't that good.Mick Jagger tries a lot but Keith can't follow.Last but not least is the sound and video quality. Could both be better too.br /To sum up i believe that four flicks is the standard,the essential rolling stones dvd-set.Biggest bang isn't and i guess that will be under the shadow of four flicks just because it does not deserve it...br /


5 out of 5 stars Better than ever. But disc 1 out of synch!!   September 30, 2007
  3 out of 4 found this review helpful

The Stones are still getting better and better. Many songs never heard live, or never even heard played by them before are on this fantastic set, along with a wonderful rehearsal of Can't Be Satisfied, many shorter and longer documentaries and lots of fantastic live material of more familiar songs, which are, each and every one of them, in superb versions, often very, very different from what we're used to.br /br /The only complaint I have about the set is the fact that disc one is OUT OF SYNCH!! It's only a fraction, but once noticed it is very annoying, and for me it is impossible to watch it now without constantly trying to convince myself of the fact that Mick's lips or Charlie's actions are right. And constantly to notice they're not. Previous reviewers have mentioned the fact the there seems to be overdubbing of the vocals, that is not the case. The sound just is not in synch with the picture.br /br /The rating is for the content, not for the mispressing which, I hope, will be replaced by a proper one.br /
