Was in a second hand record shop today. Came across a VHS of a 'Stones show from Giants Stadium in 1994 from the Voodoo Lounge tour. Its a professional video, well shot and with a different set list from the other offical release video from Miami that I have had for years.
I had never even known that this video was in existance. For just £3.99 it was the best purchase I made this week!!
Can anyone give me any information on this release? I am mighty intrigued with it!

And the intro is freakin' classic with the roadie! |

It does look like a fan club release alright. That explains where it came from originally.
And yeah the intro is very funny.... "I thought YOU were Ronnie!!"
Good Stuff! |

I got that at the Birmingham Ala. show that year. |

Not a fan club release as such, but a video that was actually on sale at the Voodoo Lounge shows within a few weeks of it being filmed |

I assume you were at other shows later that year, as that would have been impossible
They played Birmingham, Ala. a week BEFORE the Giants Stadium show where this was filmed. |

I was in Vegas a few days before the MGM shows to see Aerosmith and they had already had merch kiosks so I bought it there. I watched it without sound and CDs playing a few times but I wanted to be surprised by the setlist at the Rose Bowl shows the following week. Also walked right into the arena where they were just starting to construct the stage and wandering back where dressing rooms were already labeled. |

Is it worth buying? I saw it in a record store and didn't buy it as it was expensive and with just a few songs already available in other Voodoo videos. |

Bought this Down Under same time as the Miami show, yes the roadie is a hoot. Different show, different camera shots, etc. yes, I'd recommend it. Never enough Stones. There is nothing on the vid saying where it is, so thx for the headsup on that |

Yes, great vid. Got it after the VL show in Melbourne. It was part of the normal, every day souvenir stuff. I treasure it, but alas, none of my video players work anymore. I note however that Sympathy wasnt included. In fact, the whole puppet thing is out. I also note Lisa fucking sounds amazing on Monkey Man. I think the footage from the clip "You got me rocking" is cobbled together from this show. |

Sympathy wasnt played on that tour until they got to Vegas around October, as I recall.
You're correct about the footage from YGMR being edited together for the promo video.
If anyone remembers the time when there was a plot on 'Beverly Hills 90210' centred around the cast going to a Stones concert in Pasadena on this tour - the actual clips of the Stones onstage playing YGMTR and Not Fade Away were edited in from this video. |

I still have that episode on VHS! |

So have I. The only episode I ever watched, it has to be said. Awful stuff.
Cringeworthy at the time, but then the Days of Our Lives debacle was still ahead (an episode I've still never been unfortunate to see as I've finally realised at last after 25 years of collecting that there IS some shite that isnt worthy of collecting 'just because its the Stones' ) |

I don't think I saved the DOOL stuff myself although I did see it. Sad old day. |

I love how the Roadie wakes up to "Little T&A", smiles at the bra, and washes his mouth out with Budweiser. |

Oh man, i remember that 90210 episode so well! I loved the beginning with the parents all excited over the show. 1 of the brats says "How can you be so excited over that?" - or words to that effect - then quick cut to fireworks and mayhem then the start credits. if i recaall, ian Zierling was posing as security or something.
Tell me. If Sympathy wasnt played until later in the tour, then what song got the puppets? Because you can clearly see in the video the puppets were already out, but not which song they inflated for. |

Was just watching the Video again this morning. It's a very enjoyable show, a bit rougher and rawer than the gig from Miami. Although when I finished watching it I wanted to put on the Miami gig straight afterwards. Alas its at my parents house back in Ireland.
I think that the Voodoo Lounge era of the 'Stones was one of my favourite eras. Its where I first really became aware of the band due to the interviews and media footage that was on Irish TV at the time -they recorded a lot of the CD in Dublin. The following summer I was working with a 'Stones fanatic during my school holidays summer job. He was going over to London to see them that summer and he lent me a copy of Voodoo and Satanic Majesties. I have been a fan ever since!! Got a text from the same fanatic yesterday (IrelandCalling on this board) saying he has noticed this post on rocksoff. We have seen 'em many times since then! |

Dia dhuit Jaymze,
Aah yes,that summer of '05 and again the summer of '06 -- many-a-night(and lunchbreak) out in the pubs,house parties and whatnot,all fuelled by a soundtrack of the Rolling stones! So many boozy & musical tales,including: A future writer friend of ours denied access to a nightclub,so,left in my grandmum's kitchen with but two items -- a bottle of Jack Daniels & a copy of the Rolling Stones 'Exile On Main Street' opus^! Good times indeed..
The Giant's Stadium VooDoo Vid is a good 'un for sure,with some different songs to the more well known Miami one. As good as they were on the VL tour,methinks the Babylon shows took it even higher. Goodness Gracious(^),the Bremen video from 1998 is absolutely superb,as are all of the Pro-Shots & select bootlegs of that tour,simply magnifique.
Still,in celebration of the VL tour,it has a special place for me too,for it's when I first progrssed from being a stones fan to a stones nutter!^ Methinks the best video of them all though from that tour is the Brixton Academy one - so many rare songs,well filmed,it's a joy to watch* The Tokyo one is pretty good too,espcially Keef's set -- a rollicking 'Before they make me Run' & the ever glorious 'Slipping Away'
Now,after all of that Stones rambling,where oh where is my copy of that lost KISS classic,the 'Elder'...yes,I make no apologies,I'm beginning to love that dusty old platter..
Woo!

Corgi,
Love Is Strong was the start of the Voodoo Lounge portion of the show, with the puppets. Love Is Strong isn't included in the video. |
