	The Rolling Stones: Bridges to Babylon Tour (1997)
		The Stones have captured their record reaching "Bridges to Babylon Live" show onto a rockin' two hour video.
		Rolling Stones: Bridges to Babylon Tour ’97-‘98 appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.33:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; as such, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		That said, the Bridges to Babylon DVD is actually quite a step up from the more heavily edited Stones concerts presented on home video in the past.

		Whereas Bridges To Babylon is not on the same playing field as Beggars Banquet and Exile, this recording has much high quality material.
		Bridges To Babylon was originally released Sep 30, 1997.
		"Bridges To Babylon" is a highly under-rated album, as it was probably doomed to be.

	Rolling Stones - Bridges To Babylon
		Their latest release “Bridges To Babylon” contained a number of interesting compositions and arrangements that prove that the Stones are far from being senile or outdated.
		The sheer dimension of the “Bridges To Babylon” stage set-up quickly proves that the Rolling Stones have achieved everything you can possibly achieve as a rock and roll band.
		The “Bridges To Babylon” concert was taped with a number of well-placed cameras, allowing for excellent editing on the material while still keeping the focus of the concert as the center of attention.

		Bridges To Babylon is an intimate little show featuring the band, accompanied by Darryl Jones on bass performing a stripped down set, on a modest stage, in front of a few thousand......awww, who the hell am I kidding here!!
		This turns out to be the end of a massive hydraulic bridge that is now expanding out over the audience and eventually connects to a small satellite stage out in the middle of the arena, allowing the band to casually stroll across the bridge to the awaiting stage.
		After this brief two song performance, over the bridge (I'm sure it was longer during the concert), the band strolled back across the bridge to the main stage to finish off the second half of the show.

		The group's current "Bridges to Babylon "show, larger and more impressive technically than the decaying world of the "Steel Wheels " tour and the exotic parlor of "Voodoo Lounge, " is a trip into an otherworld where the still- frenetic Mick Jagger and company can cavort on an arresting Imax level.
		Among the tour mementos on sale were more than a dozen Bridges to Babylon T-shirts and sweat shirts, as well as framed and unframed lithographs of the artwork from various Stones' album covers.
		And for those fans lacking that special wardrobe item to wear while viewing their official Stones lithograph from their official Stones chair, a leather Bridges to Babylon tour jacket could be purchased for only $400.

	Bridges to Babylon
		Transforming this recurring Zeitgeist into a powerful visual form that could be communicated to an audience led Fisher towards ideas of opulence and flamboyance, and in particular to examples of excessive architectural ornamentation that often accompany power and wealth.
		The title "Bridges to Babylon" suggested the transportation of the audience to a mythical place synonymous with both luxury and vice; the precise conditions that produce an atmosphere of decadence.
		The pictures were taken in London in August 1997 at the workshop of the fabricator, Brilliant Stages Ltd., whilst the bridge was being load tested before it was shipped to the USA for the tour.

		The Rolling Stones are back on the music scene with their latest album, Bridges To Babylon and accompanying world tour, and the question that comes to mind is, "Should anybody really care about this aging rock band anymore?".
		Bridges To Babylon opens up with "Flip The Switch", a off-the-rack Stones rocker which would have fit nicely onto their last release, Voodoo Lounge.
		Two of the stronger numbers on Bridges are the ballads penned and sang by Richards, the tender "Thief In The Night" and the Motown inspired "How Can I Stop", which also features a wonderful drum / sax interplay between Watts and jazz great Wayne Shorter.

	Bridges To Babylon
		Bridges To Babylon is bringing the great sounds and musical ideas of Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, Goats Head Soup and Black And Blue into a new and strange sound, with brilliant mixes, clear guitars, and riffs that are close to parodies of their own, without really overdoing it.
		The Japanese release version of Bridges To Babylon will include a bonus track: Angie live at the Tokyo Dome, March 6, 1995.
		The best and most detailed interview so far about the new Stones album Bridges to Babylon is to be found on the NME Web Site.

		Of course, the Stones are the Stones, and no production is going to erase that, but the group is smart enough -- or Keith Richards [+] is stubborn enough -- to work within their limitations and to have producer Don Was [+] act as executive producer.
		As a result, Bridges to Babylon [+] sounds like the Stones without sounding tired.
		But the real key to the success of Bridges to Babylon [+] is the solid, craftsman-like songwriting.

		"Bridges to Babylon" giunge dopo "Voodoo lounge", "Steel wheels" e "Dirty work", una striscia di uscite piuttosto deludenti sia dal punto di vista artistico che commerciale.
		In questo senso, nemmeno "Bridges" fa eccezione e sottolinea una volta di più l’abisso che corre tra la "sindrome di Peter Pan" che affligge Jagger e l’alto tasso di blues che, imperterrito, scorre nel sangue di Richards; due ore di palestra al giorno contro una bottiglia quotidiana di Jack Daniels.
		La differenza la fa il genere, quel rock ormai attempato che, però, non osa permettere a questi ultracinquantenni di invecchiare in pace e li "costringe" a suonare negli stadi...

	Bridges To Babylon by Rolling Stones CD
		BRIDGES TO BABYLON was nominated for a 1998 Grammy for Best Rock Album.
		Kicking off with Charlie Watt's whip-smart timekeeping, BRIDGES TO BABYLON finds the Rolling Stones swaggering towards the millennium with a record that confidently asserts that rock & roll is far from a young person's game.
		With those two out of the way, though, Bridges To Babylon is pure Stones goodness as only the Stones can produce.

	Bridges to Babylon: The Rolling Stones' tour connects stadium rock to operatic extravagance
		Before Bridges to Babylon had been adopted as the record's title, Fisher had already sketched out a bridge as a means of getting the band to the second stage they wanted to have.
		When the bridge arrived 10 shows in and made its debut in Charlotte, NC, the LD had a new challenge to tackle.
		Cantilevering out from the center of the 200'-long (60m) main stage, the bridge extends 120' (36m) out to the stadium's center, where a 20' (6m) square platform rises up from the field to meet it.

	Bridges to Babylon by The Rolling Stones
		With its successor, Bridges to Babylon, Mick Jagger was determined to bring the Rolling Stones into the '90s, albeit tentatively, and hired hip collaborators like the Dust Brothers (Beck, Beastie Boys) and Danny Saber (Black Grape) to give the veteran group an edge on their explorations of drum loops and samples.
		As a result, Bridges to Babylon sounds like the Stones without sounding tired.
		But the real key to the success of Bridges to Babylon is the solid, craftsmanlike songwriting.

		The visual twists are at once spectacular and conservative: a cyclopean main stage design with massive pillars (presumably the Babylonian connection), a vast oval video screen (shades of Big Brother), and a hydraulic bridge enabling a midconcert sortie into the audience, with the Stones playing a more stripped-down, intimate set on a small satellite stage.
		That huge physical setting doubtless made the live shows eye-filling rock spectacles, but the video crew necessarily accepts the limitations of the small screen, focusing more on close-ups of the band, rapid cuts, and racing, hand-held tracking shots to convey excitement while keeping the viewer close to the action.
		Although I would give 'Voodoo Lounge' concert DVD a slight edge, (I mean a very very slight edge) over Babylon, trust me, this is a must have DVD that will, like Voodoo, go out of print and you'll be buying the DVD for 50.00 bucks just to have it in your collection......

	The Rolling Stones - Bridges to Babylon
		On the ballads, Jagger abandons his overwrought Freejack action-figure persona for the more plausible role of used, abandoned lover on "Already Over Me" and "Always Suffering." "Out of Control" and "Saint of Me" benefit from both dynamics and crunchy hooks.
		Interestingly, the most successful fast number is "Too Tight," a throwaway rave-up a la "Hand of Fate." It works because Jagger deliberately undersings and lets the guitars do the talking.
		BTB is a pleasant surprise--just make sure to start on track four.
