I just watched this documentary made in 1995, and really recommend it if you love The Stones.
They were performing old songs in small clubs and venues. Lots of interesting backstage conversations. The pared down, back to their roots blues music in the small studio was wonderful.
Mick Jagger is an amazing entertainer and so much energy still. Sadly I've never seen them live, I can't afford the huge price of tickets now. It was great.
Bathsheba if you get the SkyGo app and search the programme is on there and you can download it to your tablet or Sky box. It is available until January 31st. To get the app you need your Sky ID.
I saw them a couple of times in the '60s. I wasn't keen at the start, a school friend begged me to go with her and paid for my ticket, so I went. The rest of us were Beatles gals, and no one would go with her - there was a rivalry in those days. A few years later I saw them again (paid for my own ticket) and liked them more.
It's weird, when I went through catch up it didn't appear either, only when I searched. I could find it on my phone, so you might watch on your laptop or tablet. Never know, you might love that film!
Well I just tried searching for Rolling Stones on Catch-up, and the only thing that came up was a Netflix film called "Rolling Stones: Crossfire Hurricane". Don't think it's the same programme, but could be worth a look anyway!
We have Sky Arts, but I've just trawled through all the available programmes on Catch-up and it's not there. A pity because my DH is a lifelong Stones fan and would love to have seen this
That was fantastic, thanks Fennel. I read that was done 2 years before Muddy died. Apparently whenever The Stones were in Chicago they'd try and meet up with him.
Has anyone else seen the Counterfeit Stones? They are described as a cartoon version of the Stones. Their music is spot on and they are also very funny.
I used to put the Aftermath album on YouTube and try to remember some of the keep fit routines from a class I attended when the children were small. I haven't done it for a long time and it's about time I did!
I love The Rolling Stones, and saw them at the Wembley Arena in the 80s. My sons (37 and 34) grew up hearing Stones music in our house, and the eldest son went to see them a few years ago. Brilliant stuff, and they still keep playing!
Oh it's a shame you can't see it, very envious of you having seen them live. Yes MJ is so fit, he doesn't stop jumping and dancing around all through the show. Wow what energy for someone even half his age.
It was so good I was actually dancing a bit too, it may be my new get fit regime!
It also showed Ronnie Woods playing the pedal steel guitar on a real country type song, fantastic.
