Has anyone seen this Rolling Stones documentary?

I'm actually a huge Stones fan, so I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen this, but I hear it's pretty good. From what I've read it's an excellent portrayal of the rock n' roll effect on the sixties.

I also hear it's pretty disturbing, that they have actual footage from the "Sympathy For the Devil" stabbing that took place during the infamous show.

Anyway, should I hunt this down?

It's definitely worth a watch if you are a Stones Fan. I was a bit disappointed that it didn't cover nearly enough of the legendary amounts of drugs and alcohol that they consumed or the number of women (& men in certain occasions) that they had during this period.

Cool, I will find this, then.

I noticed they have a Criterion DVD release. Interesting. I'm going to have to start Netflix back up soon.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, expand on that stabbing scene for me, will you? Is it pretty disturbing? I saw a real stabbing once and isn't something I'd particularly like to see again.
