Rolling Stones: Totally Stripped (2016)

Genre: Musical
Directed by: Jim Gable
Cast: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, Charlie Watts



Following their Voodoo Lounge tour, in 1995, The Rolling Stones decided to hold a few concerts in smaller venues, in cities like Amsterdam, Paris and London. For this occasion, the original bad boys of blues and rock n’ roll decided to dust off some of their lesser known material, that would never get played in a stadium setting.

Totally Stripped is 2016 repackaging of a documentary made in 1995 about these smaller venue events. It also includes a musical CD. We get to see the behind the scenes preparation for the shows, in the studio and in the venues. Then we see clips of the performances, with comments by The Stones themselves and members of their staff.

This is a great documentary about the ultimate rock n’ roll band. The only fault is that, personally, I would have loved to see more musical performances and less commentary.
