Anyone know if 25x5 will ever be released on DVD? I'm sure there are a lot of outtakes & footage left out from the VHS version, I would love to see that. |

Cant see it. as it was made in 1989 it would be pretty redundant by now.. (plus, its a daft title as the Stones had been going for 27 years by 1989..)
An official release for the "Let it Bleed" documentary from 2002 would be a better option, although still unlikely as it's more of an independent (ie, non-approved) film
Maybe they'll wait for a "50 x 5" documentary in 2012 - or rather 50 x 4, or how many happen to be left by then....

Out of date it may be, but 25x5 is wonderful. I was about 16 when I first watched it and I learnt so much. The interviews and insights are fantastic. The only dissapointment to me at the time was Keiths comments about Brian. |

Geez, I haven't watched it in ages. Maybe I'll put it on DVD for myself. |

First watched it when I was 15 and my favourite bit still is Keith showing Mick the chords to Mixed Emotions. |

Agree 100%, HTM. My only beef with it is so many songs have a verse cut out to be able to cram more in. A DVD version with the complete performances restored would be great. Gazza I don't agree it would be redundant because 98% of the important things they did occurred before 1989. |

Yeah, I also disagree with Gazza in this matter. There is not much happened since 1989 that has a sort 'news' appeal to write an exciting story about: not new hits or musical adventures, but just a huge tour after other. They are more or less repeating the formula - and set lists - they already created in 1989 (and music they created from 1964 to 1981). And even now, if we watch the original 25 by 5 movie, the shots from the late 80's (video of "One Hit", making of "Mixed Emotions", the live "Rock and A Hard Place") are a bit boring and musically unsignificant moments in that context (after been wittnessing a continuous birth of legendary rock songs one after other).
I think one can not treat and cover all Stones years and eras with the same 'democratic' manner. The first 20 years were the story that really matters and made the band. After that (actually since 1989) they have been more or less a nostalgic act, who milks out the legacy it achieved in the their first 20 years of existence. Documenting their last 17 (?) years would only interest a hardcore fan I think. Others would be bored to death.

I know, but my point was an updated version would be better - which is where "Let It Bleed" comes in (Its also significantly longer and has more depth - and many of the interviews are the same). "Let It Bleed" also covers a nice 'round' period (40th anniversary) which is more appropriate - and it covers the "important" period every bit as well as "25 x 5", if not better. Both documentaries concentrate primarily on the first decade as theyre the most significant
An official release of "25 x 5" now would just look like an admission that theyve been treading water since 1989

Those 4 disc things that came out at time of LICKS was great. Not sanctioned, and no original music, but they were very indepth. You know the ones, each dvd represented a decade. Great stuff i thought. I liked the wild eyed guy saying "Rock and roll dont take no fucking prisoners. Takes no prisoners!"
And i adore the old guy with the 7 foot pony tail. |
