The DVD version of this video seems to go a step beyond anything the Stones have released in their career. When played in Dolby Digital 5.1 and with all speakers adjusted properly I found the sound nothing short of phenomenal. It surpasses Voodoo Lounge which was not in Dolby Digital 5.1 and the IMAX DVD from '89. While the term "almost as good as being there" is over used it almost applies in this case. Teamed with the incredible picture quality of DVD taken from a high quality video and being able to see each band member's every movement in crisp detail the result is enough to satisfy the most discriminating Stone fan. Unless Mick and the Boys have something better waiting in the wings, this one could live on in history for future generations as the best representation of what makes them The Best Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World.
