No. The Stones blow on it. Ac/dc shows them up for sure at their own goddam show. |

Isn't that the show featuring that painful rendition of "Miss You" with Justin Timberlake?
Humiliating.

Can't let this one slide..lol.
I saw this concert and I'd HAVE to recommend it to anyone...for it's entertainment value.
Yes, the Stones set was short ...but I really didn't recall them 'blowing'.
There was some premium entertainment there that day...make sure you check out the Guess Who and Tea Party,(included in the Canuck double disc version)Rush...who were instrumentally on fire..and AC/DC..who brought the house..er..field down.
Yes, it does include the Jagger/Timberlake connection..which was really not that bad..if u have a sense of humour..Watch them ducking the (water?)bottles and Keith threatening a fan...just hilarious..certainly not to be missed.
There's a great set with AC/DC and Ruby Tuesday was unforgettable.
I don't think the dvd captured the 'essence' of the day as well as it could have..but they did capture me.
Other than that there's the gratuitous booby shots and alot of.... 'purple haze'.
mm.

I liked it. Classic line up, the crowd looks like they are having a blast. The Stones and ACDC -nuff said |

Not the official release as its not the full show.
However, the bootleg version in pristine quality is worth getting as you get both the Stones and AC DC's sets in full and then can argue all you like as to who blew who and who just plain blew.
Not their finest hour IMO, but visually its quite good and any Stones pro shot DVD is worth getting |

Hmm i'll probably pick it up. The size of the crowd is amazing, and seeing keith get pissed is worth the money alone. Anyone have a link to buy the bootleg pro-shot of the full Stones/ Ac-dc performance? Thanks |

It was an awesome day. The whole damn city was all about the Stones. It was a great day to be a Stones fan in Toronto. Kinda full circle from the '77 bust. Never seen anything like it. Fucking magical day, it was. Yeah, not their best performance but still many cool moments. I don't have a link to the boot but it can't be too hard to come by. It's definitely out there. |

I quite like Rock Me Baby. Not sure who blew who. |

AC/DC set alone is worth the money.
This past weekend, as part of the "here, take the rest of your damn shit out of the house," my soon-to-be-ex gave me the two newspapers I brought back from the show. Man what a crowd and what a day!!

I think it's worth it, but I was there and it's kind of a souvenir for me.
That crowd....WOW.
Too bad the North American debut of "Nearness of You" didn't make it to the DVD.
*******sigh***********

Actually, that's right about where we set up camp...right at the edge of the tarmack ...great spot to watch the freakshow.
When it got too hot I crawled under the shade of a tandem trailer (with about 100 other people). There were people making out in plain view! I covered my eyes..(just a little)

Bought it and watched it today. The crowd is fucking incredible. Ac-dc did great, but Angus makes the show. Actually enjoyed the miss you duet with JT and found it amusing that it was Jagger who thought of the whole "cry me a river" snippit idea. Would have loved to have been there, and it looked like a amazing day for everyone. |
