Live and Sticky: The Rolling Stones’ “Marquee Club 1971” Comes To CD, DVD and BD

Rolling Stones - Marquee ClubThe Rolling Stones whetted some appetites when they announced that two tracks from the band’s 1971 Marquee Club gig would be included on the 2-CD/1-DVD and Super Deluxe Editions of that year’s Sticky Fingers, now due (after a brief delay was announced) on June 8 in the U.K. and June 9 stateside.  Now, Eagle Rock Entertainment has revealed that the entirety of the concert – filmed for U.S. television – will be released in DVD, Standard Definition Blu-ray and CD formats on June 22 as part of The Rolling Stones’ From the Vault series.

The intimate performance at London’s Marquee Club was filmed shortly after The Rolling Stones had completed their 1971 Farewell Tour of the U.K., and a month prior to the release of Sticky Fingers. At the Marquee, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman debuted “Brown Sugar,” “Dead Flowers,” “Bitch” and “I Got the Blues” from their upcoming LP.  Eagle Rock’s release features restored video as well as newly mixed sound courtesy of Bob Clearmountain.  The DVD and SD-BD formats will include Clearmountain’s new 5.1 mixes in addition to standard 2.0 stereo.

The eight-song concert will be supplemented by five bonus tracks: two additional takes each of “I Got the Blues” and “Bitch,” and a 1971 performance of “Brown Sugar” from the television program Top of the Pops.  The DVD and SD-BD feature the main track listing (below) plus bonus features.  DVD/CD and DVD/LP combo packs will also be available; the LP only contains the main body of the concert, not the bonus songs.  (The press release is unclear as to whether the five bonus tracks are present on the CD or only on the video releases.)

The Rolling Stones’ From the Vault: The Marquee – Live in 1971 arrives on June 22 from Eagle Rock Entertainment!  The various editions can be pre-ordered below in the U.K.; Amazon U.S. links are forthcoming.

  1. Can’t tell here whether the show was filmed or videotaped. Would make a huge difference, especially with a Blu-ray disk. Not really worth watching 1971 videotape on high-def.

  2. It’s a shame that Keef nodded off while tuning his guitar for what would have been the live debut of “Wild Horses”. By the time he woke up from his smack-induced coma, the rest of the band had packed up their instruments. Who knows how many other songs were on the setlist that day.

    Perhaps not. But it’s probably worth listening to the stereo and surround mixes on Blu-Ray. The audio quality of Blu-Ray is far superior to that of DVD and CD.

    Fab! But I guess “Let It Rock” here isn’t the same take as on “Rarites 1971-2003” since that one got horns and there by, I also assume, must be recorded during the Farewell Tour (another future live-album please).
