For many, the 1969 to 1974 period of the Stones included some of their best releases. It was the period in which Mick Taylor served as the replacement for Stones co-founder Brian Jones.
The Rolling Stones - A Bigger Bang Review by Gary Hill While the Stones have always produced entertaining albums, for a long time it has felt like they weren't entertained by them. It almost seemed like they were phoning in their performances much of the time.

This new release is pretty amazing stuff. It includes both a BluRay and a double audio CD set of the music from the German show presented here as the main feature. The show dates to September 2, 1998 and finds the band in fine form.
This is such a cool set. For starters, it’s a great live performance. When you consider that this was actually filmed for broadcast at the time, that tells you the quality is good.
I have to say that it's a great time to be a Rolling Stones fan. It seems that there has been no shortage of killer Stones live shows coming out for home video.
This was an actual concert film produced to run in theaters (remember the days when they did those all the time?). As such, the quality is stunning, but a little dated.

Stones fans, rejoice, this DVD has a lot of great interviews you may have never seen before. Don’t come here looking for live clips, though, as the set is lacking in those.
The Rolling Stones - Under Review 1967-1969 DVD Review by Gary Hill This whole Under Review series is pretty incredible. Rather than simply tell the story of the bands (which in many cases have already been well documented, anyway), these documentaries present some of the biographical information, but more in the context of how it affected the music and vice versa.
