Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones
Suckafuck, thanks again and again for this.
This bit still gets to me. Wish I could have seen it on the big screen/through the big speaker:
It was filmed during the band’s infamous 1972 American Tour. Ladies and Gentlemen utilized the four magnetic striped “FOXHOLE PERFORATION” 35 mm film format pioneered by Walt Disney’s FANTASIA in 1939. Unlike FANTASIA, however, the four (4) magnetic tracks were used to create four discreet channels — two on either side of the screen, and two on either side of the rear of each floor. The purpose of the Quadraphonic sound recording was to transform the 650 seat motion picture theatre auditorium into the auditory phenomenon of a 25,000 seat rock ‘n roll arena. The film began before most audience members even realized it: a black screen and Quadraphonic audience noise fooled theatergoers into accepting the recorded ambience as coming from their own venue, intensifying the aural intimacy when the Stones began to play.
Glad you enjoy it! Just another fine service I offer… I love this poster.
