All the vicissitudes of the Rolling Stones’ grand tour “A Bigger Bang” have become available to the public on DVD. And “everything” – almost in a literal sense: to fit only the most interesting, the compilers of the publication needed four discs!
Available in music stores on July 30, this massive DVD set includes a full chronicle of two of the veteran band’s performances (including a historic concert at Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach in January 2006, which drew a millionth audience), two documentaries and many additional videos.
The DVD features live recordings of 55 of the band’s songs from the Rolling Stones’ performances around the world – including the US, Argentina, Brazil, Japan and China. Among the rarities that appeared on the disk are shots of joint performances of the Rolling Stones with Dave Matthews, Bonnie Raitt, Eddie Vedder and other famous musicians.
The Rolling Stones tour “A Bigger Bang” in support of the new album with the same name started at the end of 2005. They will end on August 26 this year with four performances at London’s O2 Arena. The “A Bigger Bang Tour” is predicted to be the highest-grossing tour of all time. At the end of 2006, concert fees amounted to 437 million dollars, and taking into account the income of the current year, this figure could exceed half a billion dollars.
