It’s in the cauldron of a Rolling Stones gig that the sheer heft of their legacy truly knocks you sideways, and soon the Miami crowd were roaring in appreciation as Jagger bounded on stage to the opener “Not Fade Away”. Later in the proceedings, their B-stage excursion brilliantly set them up close with fans who suddenly realized that they had the best tickets in the house during an acoustic, three-song mini-set – which spoke volumes about the band’s ability to strip everything back to its essential core.
Filmed on November 25, 1994 at Miami’s Joe Robbie stadium, the show’s stunningly futuristic staging was way ahead of its time and set a new high watermark in production for stadium shows through the rest of the decade, helping it become the biggest grossing tour ever at that point. This new version, which has been recut and restored from the original rushes and includes newly remixed and remastered audio, reinstates the ten tracks cut from the original video release in the 1990s back in their original running order here for the first time.
Bonus features for visual formats include five tracks from an earlier show at Giants Stadium in New Jersey that were not performed in Miami, making this the definitive record of The Rolling Stones on the road in the mid-nineties.
