A few years ago I was lucky enough to spend a week in Havana. I found people who have nothing but are wonderfully warm, welcoming and endlessly cheerful. And, above all, they are passionate about rock-'n'-roll! When they discover you are English all they want to talk about is rock bands!
And it really shows in this movie. The crowd is amazing and you just want to be with them! It really rubs off on the band too who are really into it and having a whale of a time. They are incredibly tight, professional and musical, with an astonishing energy considering their advancing years. They are just loving this rock-starved audience!
I've got a huge library of live-show recordings from many bands but this is far and away my favourite. And I'm not even a massive Stones fan!
