I am a follower of the Stones since 1964. I was 9 years old. Eight years later, my older brother buys tickets for the Houston 4 pm show. It would be my first concert. Five of the fifteen songs in the movie are from this performance. The Stones had played 2 shows in Fort Worth on Saturday, June 24, 1972, and they played 2 shows the next day at the University of Houston. All songs are from Beggars Banquet through Exile on Main St., with Bye Bye Johnny thrown in. Hopefully, they have improved the video for this great movie (the soundtrack has survived in good shape as heard through various bootlegs). Keith's vocals for Happy were overdubbed & a mess was made of it in the film. A mystery, because there is a performance on youtube that is not overdubbed. The vocals are ragged, but it's Keith so who cares? No inflatable women or bridges to small stages, just a band who is focused on showing how good they really are. Mick Taylor is a great guitarist and a highlight, but Keith's rhythm guitar work is amazing, The rhythm section is playing hard, with a horn section from Texas, the legendary Nicky Hopkins on piano, and the best front man in the business. I even think it may be Ian Stuart at the piano during Brown Sugar. Very few shots of the audience, the focus being on the band. If at least one of these songs don't impress you, you are not a rock fan. A must see.
