Amazon.co.uk Review

This 1991 concert film was shot in the IMAX format and was originally presented on enormous IMAX screens, with outstanding visual and audio clarity. The dimensions may have been scaled down for this DVD release, but the show is still huge in energy and talent. Filmed during a European leg of the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels tour, this production boasts 15 songs and an extraordinary stage set with inflatable floozies (for "Honky Tonk Woman") and wild dogs (rather cleverly for "Street Fighting Man"). The Stones' set emphasises material from the late 1960s and early 70s ("Tumbling Dice", "Happy", "You Can't Always Get What You Want"), but the band's performance is so furious that the show is far from a pandering oldies act. Highlights include "Paint it Black", at once brutal and delicate, as well as a muscular "Rock and a Hard Place", a psychedelicised "2,000 Light Years from Home", and a cheeky "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll". Once kings of a gloriously sloppy sound, the Stones prove to be as effective in their artistic maturity with small, breathtaking touches as they are with chunky orchestration. Guitarists Keith Richards and Ron Wood play as if they are of one mind, Richards providing powerful leads while his partner captures some of the texture of the group's original recordings. Bassist Bill Wyman, still in the band at this phase, offers wit and an encyclopaedic grasp of rhythm & blues history, while drummer Charlie Watts adds control and swing. Mick Jagger prowls, climbs around the set, and delivers all the charismatic goods for adoring audiences, even touching the forbidden fruit again in a feverish performance of "Sympathy for the Devil". The DVD also includes a full Stones discography. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

By A Customer
Format:DVD
Filmed back in 1990 on the Urban Jungle tour (Steel Wheels in USA) this for me is one of the greatest concert movies ever.

I am a Pink Floyd fan by heart but the weekend before I went to Berlin to see The Wall, I travelled to Cardiff Arms Park. Here I witnessed "THE GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD" prove to me that live no one but no one can match them (and I've seen Floyd three times).

Unfortunatly, the Cardiff gig was not filmed but the footage here still matches what I saw, 100% magic. The venues of these shows include London and Madrid. The stage was massive, it needed to be to contain Kieth, Mick, Ronnie and Charlie. (Bill could have stood on a soapbox for all of his movements - but that's just Bill). The lights, the dry ice and effects were superb too.

Just the year before, the excellent compilation album Hot Rocks was released which was a real greatest hits package (for a non-dedicated fan like me anyway) and Steel Wheels album also. This DVD is a filmed tour of both albums.

Most of the classics are here and some new ones (for 1990). Sad, Sad, Sad really grabbed me as I had not heard it before but Sympathy For The Devil was the track I wanted to hear and they played it and it blow me away!

Because I saw one of the shows of this tour I guess I could have some bias towards this DVD. However, let's be fair, Bridges To Babylon (1998) concert DVD is 30 minutes longer and is again so cool (even without Bill) and features a lot of the same tracks but my honest opinion is a simple one: get both.

If you are like me then you will appriciate that The Stones are not just a 60's band wheeled out every few years for an airing, but really do have a meaning in the modern music scene. Therefore, with this release the sound is top notch and the picture quality is stunning.

This is not just a captured moment of a great band but an event. It is just a pity that we cannot have cinema screens in our homes to do this IMAX film justice. However, a lot of you do have cinema sound to enhance this action packed concert.

So buy Live - At The Max; relax in your favourite chair but you will not need it for long as you will be upon your feet dancing and shaking your tail feather, baby!

Thank you for reading this review.

Great Imax Film 26 Dec 2005
Format:DVD
My wife and I were lucky enough to get tickets to see this at an Imax cinema and it was eye boggling. The details as the crane cams and helicopter cams moved around was stunning. So much on screen at once. The sound was possibly 7.1 and it was extremely well mixed; we heard football rattles and klaxons pin pointed in space. Made the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. They really love it and they are a killer rock and roll band. Thanks for the trouble guys - and re-release it please!

Live at the Max 2 Dec 2010
Format:Blu-ray
I saw the IMAX film of this concert just after it was first released. I thought, then, that the IMAX film was better than being at the concert - the sound was excellent, but, best of all, the picture quality was astounding. I bought the DVD of Live at the Max about two years ago. The sound was passable, but the picture quality was appalling - certainly not as good as I was expecting. I have recently upgraded my system to HD TV and Blu-ray player and thought I'd try the Blu-ray version of Live at the Max. It is astonishingly good in both audio and picture and at least as good as the IMAX film. An advantage, of course, in watching the Blu-ray version as compared with the IMAX film at a theatre, is that the Blu-ray version can be paused for refreshment breaks!
