Well, probably all of you LOL.
but I'm going to buy it this week and could ja tell me what it's like?
Mostly behind-the-sceanes kinda stuff I'd suppose.
How are the extras?
and perhaps most importantly: how sexy is Mick in it?
haha, alright Just kidding.
I'm new by the way and probably younger than you all!
But the Stones have been the band for me sine I was a baby!
Muwha! |

Is this the "sanitized" version as seen on the video? There were all kinds of Brian Jones clips removed from that version. I saw the original at Hunter College in 69 and it elicited (sp?) quite a response from the audience as to the way Jones was being treated. One scene cut in video is of him sitting in foreground hunched over his guitar crying softly while other 4 are way in background sitting in a little circle laughing amongst themselves. Is this in the dvd? I'd plunk down the money for the original but not the sanitized version. (Only other person I know who saw the original is Keno and he remembersw some of the same missing scenes I do). I kind of doubt it's the original because I've been told a few times over the years of "art type" movie theatres showing it, (usually on West Coast) and being ordered to cease and desist by Klein's office.
Thank you. |

I believe the Sympathy for the Devil version is the "sanitized" version. Additional parts are said to occasionally play in US art-house movie theatres, but I've never seen them.
Yes, it is often tough to hear Brian's acoustic playing, if it's there at all.
I played the DVD once although I suspect it's useful to have around to settle arguments. (For example, was John Foster Dulles ever mentioned in pulp fiction? What would KR sound like if he tried to play like Clapton?) Unfortunately, the movie does not answer why KR plays bass. |

I have the DVD and again, I have to say the only thing good about it is the Stones in the studio. As for why you don't hear (or barely hear) Brian's playing, is that I have read that by this time, the band never hooked up his guitars (or at the least, mic'ed them) in the studio -- Mick and Keith have often said that by 1968, Brian contributed very little to Stones recording sessions and could not be counted upon to play basic guitar on any tracks.
As for Keith playing bass, the only thing I can think of is that when he is shown playing bass, it is in an early take of SFTD -- Mick is playing acoustic while Charlie and Bill provide drums and percussion respectively. It is just beginning to take shape and is no where near its final version.

Keith plays bass on the officially released version too. |

Hi Gerry!
I have this movie in two formats BETA (80's) and Laser Disc (90's) (thanks Gomper-miso), and I don't see any difference but the resolution. Do you have that original version? You know how I will love to have it regardless of the audio/video quailty... specially if it has more Brian |

No Gerardo, I don't have the original version. Have been looking for it for alot of years. It's gotta be out there somewhere! As I said, I saw the original at Hunter College in NYC when it first came out..(still have the original ticket stub too!)It caused quite a stir with the audience because it was so painfully evident that Brian was being ostracized (he had died only months before we saw it)and everyone's heart went out to him. We all discussed those things during the parts nobody understood, then focused attention back when the film shifted back to the Stones!
When I bought the video version of SFTD, I thought I was buying the complete film or I'd never have given ABKCO a dime! I was thoroughly disgusted that so much of Brian was cut out but I guess in the long run, I shouldn't have been surprised.
If I ever do find the original, i'll let you know! |
