In this instance, their 1980 performances at the Sun Devil stadium of Arizona State University in Tempe and at the indoor Meadowlands Arena in New Jersey are presented in sequence. Many camera angles, shots of the crowds, and montages that feature repetitive movements or actions on the part of the performers are combined to spice up the 24 songs. Mick Jagger works the crowd with his batteries supercharged, enough to wear out more sedentary viewers -- which would be just about everyone by comparison. Among the featured tunes are "Time Is on our Side," "Honky Tonk Woman," "Jumping Jack Flash," and "T & A." ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Janet Maslin, New York Times
Let's Spend the Night Together is the classiest of concert movies, even if that sounds as if it ought to be a contradiction in terms.

An account of three gigs, filmed during the Stones' 1981 American tour, that rarely strays beyond the confines of the vast stages.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
At the beginning of the film I was caught up in the Stones' waves of sound energy, and fascinated by Jagger's exhilarating, limitless onstage energy. By the end of the film I was simply stunned.
