While not a concert in the purest sense, this was a great experience of seeing the Rolling Stones up close in an IMAX theater. My Mother bought me two tickets for Christmas. When I couldn't get a date for the show, she went with me and we both enjoyed the show. This show took place at the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore which was the only IMAX theater in the area at that time. I don't regret going to the show. A little about the show.
Rolling Stones: Live at the Max was the first feature-length film ever to be filmed in IMAX format.
Imaging fed to the jumbotrons at concerts came from "bread trucks" switching live feeds from an army of video cameras. Midway through post, the request came to use some of this video that had been recorded on 3/4" tape in the final IMAX film. This began a crazy series of tests to improve and up-res this video to be shot on IMAX neg at the lens facility in Mississauga. Test neg was processed in New York, prints made, returned to Toronto for screening at the IMAX theater at Ontario Place. After many tries, a process was created to improve imaging enough to be used. Final release included approximately 6 minutes of this footage.
