Product Description

Crossfire Hurricane , directed by Brett Morgen, is released as part of the ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations of The Rolling Stones. This superb new film tells the story of the Stones unparalleled journey from blues obsessed teenagers in the early sixties to their undisputed status as rock royalty. All of The Rolling Stones have been newly interviewed and their words form the narrative arc that links together archive footage of performances, news coverage and interviews, much of it previously unseen. Taking its title from a lyric in Jumpin Jack Flash , Crossfire Hurricane gives the viewer an intimate insight into exactly what it s like to be part of The Rolling Stones as they overcome denunciation, drugs, dissensions and death to become the definitive survivors. Over a year in the making and produced with the full co-operation and involvement of The Rolling Stones, Crossfire Hurricane is and will remain the definitive story of the world s greatest rock n roll band.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is Why I'm Still A Fan 21 Nov 2012
By Richard Allen TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
I'm happy to declare that I've always been a Stones fan. Ok, so they haven't produced anything of great note since Some Girls (though I've always thought Tattoo You was underrated). And their concerts through the eighties and beyond weren't the greatest musical experience. But their material throughout the sixties and seventies was great, and even the material that was less favoured then sounds good now. Hard to believe there was a time in the eighties when Exile was dismissed, and now it's seen as a seminal album.

Watching this DVD brought it back to me why I've stayed with the Stones, and always will. The film is very well made, with loads of archive footage, much of which I've never seen before, with the lads providing a voice-over commentary on the various phases of their career. There are too many stand out moments to comment on, but I found the section on the decline and death of Brian Jones very moving.

The guys come over very well, and have lots of insightful comments that make this documentary both fascinating and entertaining. And the music is just fantastic. Time to revisit my musical past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best Stones DVD around. 27 Oct 2012
Format:DVD
If you buy one Rolling Stones DVD - Make it this one. A true labour of love produced my Mick Jagger himself; Crossfire Hurricane is now officially THE definitive Stones documentary. Although there are a plethora of Stones films out there, mostly excellent, this is now the one to get. Although it's not a concert film, you do get full tracks and live excerpts from various concerts throughout their fifty year career, from very early television appearances playing early blues tracks like Little Red Rooster to later era classics like Miss You. The documentary covers the band's full career, although it does focus mainly on their best era, 64' to about 72', looking at everything from line up changes to drug busts. Surprisingly, one thing it didn't focus on were the actual records themselves, there no comments on the making of classic records like Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed or Exile on Main Street, but this is not bad thing, as there are countless DVDs that look at this in depth already. Throughout the film, you get bits of old interviews, as well as archive pictures and home film. Starting off right at the begging, you get a small insight as to what life must have been like for the Stones in the early days through revealing commentaries all of the bands surviving members. The new interviews are audio only, which is actually a good thing, as instead of repeated cutting back to whoever is speaking; the film is free to show concert film. Really, if you are Rolling Stones fan, you have to own this. Forget the rest of the stuff released to cash in on the bands fiftieth anniversary; this is the one to get. It's a superbly made documentary that ranks up there as one of the best docs I've seen in a long time, and is a must own for fans of the band. This isn't all the Stones you need to own though, their early concert film Rock and Roll Circus is essential watching, and Stones in Exile is an interesting watch if you want a doc specifically on what many consider to be the Stones' best record, Exile in Main Street.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Stones Documentary Period 1 Dec 2012
Format:DVD
Crossfire Hurricane in my opinion is the best Documentary on The Rolling Stones and their music made so far.

The film documents their music career and in-depth from the sixtiess to the early seventies and briefly moving towards the present day and the legacy the band have had on Music and Rock & Roll.

All members of the band including ex-memebers except Brian Jones are interviewed audio only and not on camera which gives a fresh perspective to their story and their comments on the key events in the bands life such as the death of Brian Jones and the infamous free concert at Altamont in which a fan was stabbed to death by members of The Hells Angels.

The film contains a large amount unseen footage of the band and the music and is a great film for Stones fan's both old and new.

I highly recommend this film and is a great companion to other Rolling Stones films such as Shine A Light [DVD] and Gimme Shelter [DVD].
