The Rolling Stones: Terrifying - The Legendary Atlantic City Concert 1989 [DVD-5]





The Rolling Stones: Terrifying - The Legendary Atlantic City Concert 1989 [DVD-5]
Atlantic City, New Jersey - 1989.12.19 - DVD-R2
DVD: 4,26Gb
Audio: AC3 2
Total Running Time: 2:40:41

The Complete Show from December 19, 1989 Convention Center Atlantic City, New Jersey
Geetarz Comments: DVD-R2 sourced from perfect VHS. There are several versions of this show in circulation, at least one other is sourced from a higher generation VHS source and recorded on +R media with nicely done menu screens. This version has no menus but is in excellent quality directly from a master VHS! Widely considered to be one of Eric Clapton's finest blues performances of the decade of the 80s on "Little Red Rooster", but it was John Lee Hooker who tore the place down!

While Mick and Keith conducted their own private Cold War, the Stones were off the road for seven years. Thus, the Steel Wheels US tour of 1989 met with feverish anticipation. By Atlantic City, they'd played to 3.2 million people, grossing $97 million; a pay-TV cablecast was watched by a further three million. Guests on stage included Izzy Stradlin, John Lee Hooker, Eric Clapton and Axl Rose.

A film by photographer Robert Frank on the Rolling Stone's 1972 American tour.
Not released by the Stones...
Trivia: The Rolling Stones were upset by this film's portrayal of them and sued
to prevent its release. The film is under a court order that only allows it to be shown once a year with director Robert Frank present in person.
Filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, commenting on Cocksucker Blues, called it "definitely one of the best movies about rock and roll I've ever seen. . . . It makes you think being a rock and roll star is one of the last things you'd ever want to do."
These are the freakin Rolling stones, man... it's 1972... they're all around 30 years old, and kicking ass.
Some Great Music. But Not Much Of It.

For a 90-minute flick, only about 15 are concert shots. We watch the boys perform the opening song for pretty well every night of the tour, Brown Sugar, as well as Midnight Rambler, Uptight (with Stevie Wonder), Happy, and Street Fighting Man. Midnight Rambler is notable for Mick's haunting harp opening, and the band, blitzed as they are, still play very well, with Keith laying down his usual heavy chops against Mick Taylor's intelligent fills.
Mostly Classic Self-Indulgent Stuff.
No doubt shocking when shot, but now mostly cliches, given the excesses of bands which followed - Led Zeppelin being first and foremost -- Cocksucker Blues reads like a litany of rock high priest thou shalt's:
• watch everybody snort coke & shoot heroin
• marvel at Bobby Keyes and Keith Richard as they toss a TV off their hotel balcony (first they check to see no one's below)
• thrill as Dick Cavett asks Bill Wyman, "what's running through your nervous system right now?"
• smirk as Wyman doesn't answer
• leer as Mick Jagger rubs his dink through his pants, then undoes them and gets his hand in for a better feel
• gasp as a girl trying to get into the concert complains her baby was taken from her because she's always on acid
• laugh to discover a scalper is charging $10 for a $3.50 ticket
• chuckle as a totally stoned Keith tries to order room service for some strawberries, blueberries and "three apples"
• look at your watch as the boys play some very drunken poker. See Keith win.
• ooh as Charlie Watts makes a very difficult pool shot in a southern diner
• moan as a naked groupie rolls on a bed, legs spread, fingering her pussy
• make notes as Keith tells Mick it's best to snort coke through a rolled up dollar bill
• guffaw as Mick turns to the camera after a brief meeting with Tina Turner and says "I wouldn't mind…"
• look at your watch again as the tour crew packs the group's suitcases and cleans out their hotel rooms
• wonder in amazement as Bianca sits sullenly, smoking a cigarette and playing a little music box over and over.

The early history of the Rolling Stones—long shrouded in myth and confusion as a result of 40 years of the rock and roll lifestyle—is made clear in this concise ***. Chronicling the band members from boyhood through the band's first record, cut in 1963, this biography contains rare photographs and never before published interviews with family members as well as every member who played with the band prior to the recognized line-up—including pre-Watts drummers Erky Grant and Mick Avory; Mick Jagger’s cousin, Rick Huxley; early Stones member Dick Taylor; and Phil May, a schoolmate of Jagger and Richards and member of The Pretty Things. Every aspect of the band’s development is explored, from their recording sessions to landing on the music charts, in this myth-shattering musical history....
