To be fair, Four Flicks is the only one among U2 + LZ for which you have to shell out 4 DVDs forth of $$. Not the most welcoming introduction to the Stones-- I'd think, hell what if I hate the first DVD and the subsequent 3? Where's my money?! |

My sources called me at Boca Community Hospital after Brooke was born, and informed me, that incredibly, the audience seemed bored and lackluster when the Stones came on, compared to the dancing in the ailes and great enthusiasm for the opening act-apparently a favorite in Puerto Rico. Can someone confirm or deny this as my source was there, and claimed it was very disappointing . Where we humiliated by the great Common Wealth of PR?

I purchased 2 copies of Four Flicks (one as a gift) and three copies of ABB (one regular and two special editions, one to give as a gift). I am impressed by both of these releases. Sadly, the Super Bowl did not give us a "Macca/Bono" bump...we simply received a bump similarly to the preston/jagger cock dance.
I am told that Rarities sales actually may have went down as last minute Christmas returns were counted. |

I don't think the Rarities are worth worrying about, really. |

I have to disagree.
I was proud to introduce the Stones to my friends with the olympia and msg show.
Midnight Rambler , CYHMK, Neighbots, Worried about you, all so cool!
the fantastic energy of the band, the risks taken with the set lists, the documentary, all was quite perfect for me, except the Twick show, that doesn t show them at their best.
2 of my bandmates bought it, and many friends told me how the Stones were powerful for their age.and I was very proud of that,no more wrinkled rockers, just cool as hell grand fathers  |

Sadly, it is tough to overlook this. They had an opportunity to really cater to the die hard fans. (Pearl Jam did this beautifully with the double disc release of "Lost Dogs"). Especially knowing this would not sell very well, adding some true gems to this release and even making it a double cd was the correct move to make. I fear Jake Cohl was not consulted on this (he will be from here on out as Mick considers him like another son). |

JB,
70012 is the catalog number. Four Flicks is certified higher than either of the U2 or Led Zep releases listed there. Look to the right it's 19 times platinum. LZ's is only 10. U2's hasn't reached that yet, but I'm sure it will. |

We Win!!! Sadly, Jb has been humiliated. I feel bad for Miami and Dade counties as they must share in this humiliation. I can only hope this news of his incorrect predictions does not reach his collegues as they will have grounds to attack. |

Voodoopug: I mean, since they blew the opportunity with Rarities, no use worrying about the lack of its success now.
Jumacfly: I LOVE Four Flicks, I'm not trashing it in the least, but I don't know whether someone wanting a "taste" of live Stones would immediately dive into 4 DVDs.
It can be disorienting for a lot of people with a short attention span.

Keep in mind the platinum certification thing counts for the amount of CDs or DVDs in the package, though. A double album that sells 2 million CDs gets certified as 4x platinum. I imagine it's the same for multiple DVD box sets. SO, Zep's DVD, which is a 2 DVD set, sold a bit more than the Stones's Flicks, which should have double the platinum certification of Zep (20 mil) because it's double the amount of DVDs in the set. Still, not bad at all.

Morale in West Palm Beach County is taking a drastic hit due to your poorly researched post. We pride ourselves on ALWAYS being right and 99.54% accurate. Sadly, we must not make another mistake for at least 4 months and 2 days to make up for this set back. We can do it!
Thankfully your wonderful daughter shall not feel this humiliation and will probably spit up on you to show her disgust. |

that is better...it takes a truly high level of intelligence to be able to find logic demonstrating how a previously thought incorrect statement is actually correct.

I hope the mix is better than the Rocks-Off mix of Live Licks(still under 59k USA). |

I shall only reply to you as you have given the board an injection of life, as I had vowed to not mention it again.
The Salt Lake incident was when the stones played "Rain Fall Down" live for the AMA's. First off, the audience should have been checked for comatose as most of them were sitting or standing there silently as if they were at a wake. And even worse than that, Mick must have lost his monitor feed, or simply was confused as he began singing/playing his parts about 2 seconds before/after they should have been....making for a dreadful performance, the ending was sloppy at best.
To make matters worse, when they played IORR next, the network cut them off and went to commercial half way through. The Stones and its core of die hard fans were completely humiliated on national TV. Some have not recovered from this (our own JB still has nightmares at times about this) |

Wow, painful stuff but I'm glad you shared it with me, my eternal respect is granted toward you. I didn't see it simply because I hate award shows and I had to work late that night anyway. I know what you mean about lame ass crowds, the last 2 times I saw them in Columbus the Stones played GREAT but the crowd sucked in every way possible, you'd never guess you were at a rock show. I was really getting into it, singing along to "Sway" and I was actually asked to just sit down and be quiet. It was hard for me to hide my excitement as this was the first time the band ever played that song live, too bad most there didn't even know of its existence!! Even during the warhorses most of the crowd was quiet.

thankfully, with me being from Chicago, the audiences are generally very excited and animated. I usually only travel to the bigger markets to see shows (ie Boston) where the buzz is in the air. I recall going to the 1997 St Louis show and feeling that I may have to perform mouth to mouth on most of the people in my section as I could not confirm they were breathing. |

I know all too well that feeling, why pay top dollar for a great rock concert if you're just going to sit on your ass and blab on the cell phone all night, then get angry when someone is really getting into the show?? You can just stay at home if u want a quiet night with your phone, ya know?? Maybe I'll have to see a show in Chicago or Boston some day, i hear they always get good crowds!! |

when i tripped over the speaker at hte chicago pre show and fell to the ground in a tremendous heap, Starbuck, Fiji, and Glencar were concerned about my well being, and then shared a laugh. I, like Chris Farley and John Belushi, an innovative and can turn my own misfortunes in to top notch entertainment for others. I truly am looking after john and jane public and when I can reach an audience through whichever means, even if it causes me contusions, concussions, or convulsions, I allow their smiles to heal my pain. You know the routine...We make dreams come true....consider us the Jake Cohl's of the message boards! |
