I love the Rolling Stones, but not their last few concerts.

One of the biggest putoffs is the video. The entire concert is filmed
in a studio before it ever hits the road, and that's what is shown on
the video screens. Jagger et al do a masterful job of stepping through
each tune in a precisely choreographed routine, but a lot of times it
gets off a bit. If you're close enough to watch those famous lips
singing on stage, you will notice that they are often out of sync with
the supposed "live" video on the big screens.

Begging the question: If the video is canned, how much credibility can
we assign the music? What are we really hearing in the concert hall? Is
it no more "live" than the video?

This is why you go and see someone else instead, like Bob Weir and his
current band Rat Dog. Utterly amazing, and definitely NOT canned.

And, if it matters, they've been videotaping their shows and offering them
for sale, listed by date, very quickly after each show:
