Summary: Probably one of the most important concert DVD's around
Review: and thats why it's been sold out for ages and ages.....

I have both the DVD and the VHS cassette and the DVD of course blows the casette out of the water but mostly because it is THE medium made for concerts like Voodoo lounge .....

Not only do the stones do their hottest and best cuts without cheating the audience but Mick puts on a show that I would consider would tire a professional NFL receiver. With the stage spanning the length of the football field, Mick not only runs, hops and skips from one side to the other ALL NIGHT LONG but he does it belting out his numerous and fabulous hits.

I was fortunate enough to be at the concert in Miami while HBO was taking this DVD and I tell you the atmosphere was electric ....

This DVD is going up with 'The Dance' from Fleetwood Mack as being number ONE in my book ......

Summary: the one to have
Review: As a video document of a performance, Voodoo Lounge beats Bridges To Babylon, or Live At The Max. Despite not being in 5.1, the DVD captures the raw excitement and swagger of the Stones in Concert and is better paced than the other two. Plus, you get Bo Diddley in the bargain. I own all three and attended a Bridges concert, but the Voodoo Lounge DVD is the one I return to.

Summary: Just Slightly Less Entertaining Than "Bridges"
Review: Even though I feel the Rolling Stones are not quite as sharp on this concert DVD as on the "Live at the Max" or the "Bridges to Babylon" concert DVDs, it is still well worth owning.

For some peculiar reason, the Stones on this DVD look more haggard (exception drummer Charlie Watts) than they did three years later on the "Babylon" concert. Perhaps they were tired and that might be why their energy level wasn't as high here. However, there are still many highlights including "Angie," "Sweet Virginia," (both performed on the small stage) "It's All Over Now," and the guest appearance of Bo Diddley for the number "Who Do You Love." Furthermore, the mixing of this concert is vastly superior to the DVD of "Babylon" which was an atrocity. You can actually clearly hear the band without the distortion which marred the latter DVD.

There is only one lowlight on this DVD, and that is the baffling decision by the producers of this concert to employ so-called comic Whoopi Goldberg to act as emcee. She is an embarrassment in her brief appearances, including actually "singing" with the Stones' professional backup singers near the end of the concert. She can keep her day job, thank you. Fortunately, her antics aren't bad enough to ruin this otherwise excellent concert. Every fan should own this DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Like the concert ...but!
Review: I attended the Vodoo Lounge tour at the Oakland Colliseum and it was one of the best I've ever seen. The DVD captures the same excitement. How can you not enjoy the stage...amazing. Except for the fact that the DVD does not show the large puppets of Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley and others that bobbed up and down as the stage rocked. I don't own any other Stone's DVD's and I don't think I need too, this one makes you want to drink beers and party. Buy it.

Summary: Stones Bumble Along
Review: In comparison to the Bridges To Babylon pay per view and DVD, for which they left several songs off of as well as this one, the Voodoo Lounge Miami ppv and DVD is horrible. The show captured the excitement of the opening numbers but missed with some of the key tracks being left off. With DVD having much more room than VHS, one would think they'd put the tracks that were taken off back in. This one is good to own for one reason - Keith's mind blowing screw up for his solo in "Sympathy For The Devil". Not only did he not realise what he was doing and how awful he was doing it, not one person in the band noticed his wrong notes! It's displays such as this and the entire Let's Spend The Night Together film that make the Rolling Stones beautiful when it comes to screwing up! Highly entertaining.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a couple responses to previous reviewers
Review: Of course this tape includes songs from Voodoo Lounge; You Got Me Rocking' and The Worst. The Stones did several more from this album during the concert I saw at Cleveland Stadium. As for Whoopi Goldberg's appearance, I agree she should have stayed off the stage while the Stones were performing, but her intro of the band was excellent and exciting. She got me "whooped" up, and "The World's Greatest Rock-n-Roll Band" got me rockin'.

Summary: thair most successfull$ concert
Review: Of the three most recent live concert videos Ive seen two and seen the 1989 tour'steel wheels'live at shea stadium with 'the cult of personality' opening up for the stones.Live at the max was good and filmed in London,vodoo loounge in maimi.Never seen bridges to babylon but know it has to be good or great because the rolling stones are still the best in the music industry to this day!I personally edge out vodoo lounge over'live at the max' for three reasons:1]robert cray[2]bo didly[3]and a acoustic set that set it apart from a typical concert.I imagine they did something differant and/or oringinal for the babylon tour wich I missed,even though I lived in a city of bridges[portland O.R.]!.I heard Ron Wood was good in this one also,no surprise to me though,Ive seen him in a small club once trading licks with Bo Didly back in the 80's.So the matter what rollin stones video you buy you wont be dissapointed cause just like 'Merle Haggard, everything they make is top notch!
