great concert - By: C. J. Moore, 16 May 2004 
a wonderful concert jagger on top form as ever,the stones get better as they get older
five stars for the Stones, but ... - By: clio, 12 Jan 2004 The Stones are brilliant (even though they aren't reallly getting *alll* the way down through most of it) but I'm frustrated by the filming, which seems pretty clueless as to who/what's worth focussing on. The eye candy gets a woeful overdose of attention - I found I was even closing my eyes at times in order to concentrate on the music, which kind of defeats the purpose of a DVD, doesn't it. Okay okay, Mick sure is something, but I want to see a *lot* more than just the front man.
Apart from that, & apart from the fact that the sound gets weirdly uneven in the last quarter of the disk, it's a fine show, & I'm glad to have it, but there have been much better-done Stones concert films before & since.
Buy this - get a whole lotta 'Satisfaction'! - By: , 06 Nov 2003 AS a die-hard Stones fan (even though just 14 years old) I recently went to Twickenham to see them in concert & trust me, they are amazing, they truly lived up to there title as 'the greatest rock n' roll band in the world'.
Ofcourse, not everyone gets to see them live (I was very lucky) so to get the nearest experience to it possible Buy this DVD.
With fantastic camera work, stunning visuals & amazing sound this is ,in my opinion, the greatest live music DVD ever released. Jagger's vocals are excellent, Keith's just as cool as ever (if not cooler) & his playing is superb. Ronnie gives his usual energetic performance & Charlie (whilst still managing to keep a straight face) never misses a beat.
They play alll their classics, 'Gimme Shelter' 'Brown Sugar' 'Honky Tonk Women' etc. & they are joined by Dave Matthews for an astounding version of 'Wild Horses'.
They also play some songs from the 'Bridges to Babylon' album including 'Saint of Me' & a larger than life version of 'Out of Control'. Keith does a fantastic version of 'I wanna hold you' from the 'Undercover' album.
The Stones give an umbelievably energetic & exciting performance for their ever increasing age (they were just the same when i saw them on the licks tour), in my opinion they get more & more cool as they get older.
With the best ever live recording of 'Satisfaction' to open up with,
just sit back, turn up the volume & let
the Rolling Stones rock your world!
An enjoyable concert - By: Docendo Discimus, 26 Oct 2003 
Great sound, great picture, superb performance. Jagger is in excellent form, & his vocals are very good.
Sometimes a singer will sound less than enthusiastic when doing a song for the 1000th time, but that is never the case here (well, almost never).
This fine two-hour concert recording includes Keith Richards doing a wonderful "I Wanna Hold You" (a non-album track) in a surprisingly strong voice, & a fine set list with "Satisfaction" as an energetic opener.
The band is excellent; Richards' guitar work is tight, & bass guitarist Darryl Jones & the other backing musicians help drummer Charlie Watts keep things in place.
A very enjoyable performance.
The Rolling Stones Keep Rocking Undeterred - By: Mr. N. Matera, 03 Dec 2002 Whoever says that the Stones in their Bridges to Babylon are tyred & trite must be suffering from personal problems, are not real music lovers & they're certainly not Stones fans. This concert recorded in St.Louis Missouri, during their 1998 Bridges to Babylon Tour is a masterpiece of technical ability, professionalism & raw rock music at its best. From the moment the star bursts out of the Oval screen with the opening chords of Satisfaction, you know that you're in for an entertating two hours of the highest magnitude. Even the new tracks from the same titled albums sound terrific, from Flip the Switch, a song that is a challlenge & an affront to impending death, to Out of Control a fantastic & energetic anthem that shows Mick Jagger as a master of the harmonica & Ronnie Wood as the REAL stones guitarist that he is. For those of you who still argue that Mick Taylor was a better guitarist than Ronnie Wood, I beg you to listen carefully to what Ronnie has added to The Stones music. Sheer quality & drive. Saints of Me, will most certainly be the main track at my funeral, great lyrics, great song...electrifying performance. I could go on detailing every tracks on the DVD, but it would take too many superlatives & too much space to do justice to alll of them. The highpoint of the concert is most certainly the masterstroke of having a smalll stage set up in the middle of the concert arena. This is where the Stones make their true statement of intent. Their absolute love & dedication to Rock 'n' roll. The ability to recreate the excitement of a smalll club in a huge arena with the focus 100% on the music. This is borne out in the upcoming 40 licks tour when the Stones will be playing smalll theatres for that more intimate & upfront experience somewhat lacking in big stadiums. The Stones once again confound their critics with a master performance of bravura & passion. Old? Geriatrics' Rock?...The Stones put to shame many young acts of today. Long Live Geriatric Rock. Long Live the Greatest Rock Band of alll times. History in the making.
