Woodstock '94 (1995)
I was there...and it can not be compared...to the original
I only cared to see this flick for the simple reason that it was single-handedly the worst weekend of my life! I lost a great job because I chose to attend this over-priced, over-rated concert. I lost my girlfriend shortly after wards (that was a good part!) and my former best friend decided to try hallucinogenic drugs and lost my backpack with all of my possessions - including my wallet and near $400.00 cash!...and it rained on my birthday that weekend. But enough of my sad-sack editorializing! Like the previous reviewer, this festival was purely greed oriented and the images you see here show great monumental performances from some of the heavy-weight rockers of the time, and a few new ones who have since gone on to super-stardom. Green Day's mud fight on the second stage is perhaps the only classic memorable scene that people will recall from this event. However, the original Woodstock film documents the true spirit of peace and love and this one is all about the Benjamins.
Let's Spend the Night Together (1982)
Classic Raw Stones...Kings of the Stadiums and Arenas
This film documents the first of many comebacks by the World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band. Are they in their prime here? Definitely NOT! But rock they do...From the curtain rising "Under My Thumb", filmed outdoors during daylight at Tempe's Sun Devil Stadium, vignetting into their indoor arena performances at New Jersey's Meadowlands Arena, you see a band that appears ageless at a time when rockers in their late 30's/early 40's were considered ancient.
Hal Ashby captures the raw essence of one of the last regular Stones Tours (back when they toured in 3-year cycles) backing one of their last strong albums, Tattoo You. "Start Me Up" is a brand new song the band is just breaking into their set. It's also the last tour with long time touring keyboardist Ian Stewart, whose obituary is noted in the film.
At times, LSTNT captures the raw energy and fun of a Rolling Stones concert from a fan's perspective. Falling balloons, confetti, the whole enchilada. After seeing this film, you'll want to either see it from the beginning again....or buy tickets to see them in person!
