I love documentaries about rock but especially about the Stones. They have such an amazing story and they have done it all , good and bad. They still hold your imagination and they can still bring it live. Long Live The Rolling Stones FOREVER
Satisfaction, Shattered, She's So Cold, Gimme Shelter, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Start Me Up, Under My Thumb, Angie, & Beast of Burden are the top songs that stood out the best for me. Satisfaction is there trademark, with that guitar playing from the beginning, it made a signature sound for Rock & Roll. And it will never die, but multiply from one generation to the next. As far as The Rolling Stones, they're the only Rock & Roll band that stand out the test of time. My ultimate favorite Rock & Roll band.
I personally like some of the Less advertised songs, Wild horses, As tears Go By, Midnight Rambler, Mother's Little Helper, The Last Time, Can't Always get What You Want, Brown Sugar
Funny how the Rolling Stones were known as the bad boys of Rock'n roll when all they were was a group of middle class college students from London...and the Beatles were known as the clean cut 'boys band' that everyone loved. The Beatles grew up with a lot more grit in seedy Liverpool and were playing 8 hour sets in the strip clubs of Frankfurt. Clever marketing is what it was.
Dimi Rockeropoulos .........exactly right. Stones entire image was contrived by Oldham to play off the “good boy” Beatles image. Jagger even had to change his posh accent.
@@lindadote I read Jagger had a posh accent but that when he was a young kid he got in a golf cart accident and accidentally bit his tongue and swallowed a part of it and that's how Mick ended up w/ a cockney accent.
@@greymatter636 all the drugs, busts, deaths and everything you know about them is true so it don’t matter where each band came from the Stones were the ones that lived and invented what rock n roll living was.
This rock documentary about the Rolling Stones is simply amazing, I love this group,60yrs and still Rolling Stones, you will forever be cemented in rock history forever 🎉🎉
After this documentary I realized, how often a Stones-era came to an end and at the same moment they re-invented themselves and came up as a new kind of a Rock'n Rolling Stones - and after all those years (60), they are a grand institution of their own image. But there is one thing, which never died and still exist - their deep love to play music. It's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it - yes, I do!
The tragic irony is that the Taylor band of the late 60s and early 70s became the roots/blues band that Brian Jones had originally envisioned for the Stones, as opposed to Loog Oldham's pop-stars. Brian's ghost haunts Exile -- literally in Shine a Light and Just Want To See His Face. I like to think that had he lived he would still have been in the orbit. To say he was 'fired' is a mistake. My understanding is that it was presented in terms of 'we need to tour to promote the new material and you're not really up to it.' The door was never entirely closed.
I first heard a Stones song in 1966 on a transistor radio i kept in my shirt pocket.I thought, damn, this sure ain't the Beatles,these guys are badass.
gandalf--john lennon's last interview with rolling stone magazine--it's lengthy but a great read. anyway, during that interview john lennon specifies, in detail, to a tee, how the rolling stones stole from the beatles--by listing his songs, and then listing the rolling stone songs that followed his work. i guess that's good enough. i mean, everybody copies everybody. american southern blues was greatly copied by the rolling stones to begin with. the beatles copied the same way. anyway, read the article; it's interesting. john lennon followed a great deal of classical music. or, copied, i should say. it just makes me wonder, what would mozart have done with an amplifier?
George Khier - I watched Jagger open up Sweet Virginia playing harp, onstage at the Hollywood Palladium in 1972, and he fucking tore the place up with a song I’d never paid attention to before. My current wife of 46 years was in front of me, dancing, 17 years old, and see it every time I hear the Sweet Virginia harp intro. Brian who?
He Brian jones was great and very talented as well. He wasn't a song writer but he could pick up any instrument and master it. He plays a lot of those exotic instruments in the songs we know and love from the 60s. As far as his death is concerned it could have been the builder or it could have been that he was a heavy drug and alcohol user. He is truly underrated and I don't think he gets the respect or attention that he should nowadays . We could change that us by studying his life wearing t shirts and speaking of him more. R.i.p. Brian jones 1942-1969
Thank you for this video. I didn't know all this about the Rolling Stones early years. Sounds like Brian Jones didn't just drown; he died of a broken heart. Wish he could've found another girl. I've just recently been learning about him. He sounds very sweet.
Sam Downer ......nah, I do believe he was murdered but I’m more inclined to think Tom Keylock called the shots. It was he who supposedly “coaxed” a (death-bed) confession out of Thorogood, how convenient for him. Regardless, while it may be true that Brian owed Thorogood money, he was unable to pay because that pair of egotistical jerks (aka the Dimmers) hadn’t paid Brian. I don’t think we’ll ever know the truth.
My Dad saw the Stones when they were just starting out in Richmond, Kingston etc. He says that is still the best time for the band. In his opinion anyway.
My mom and dad listened to both because each band was bad ass in their own right. The bands, as they say in England; were mates!? You could see the Stones in the “All You Need is Love” video so your parents must’ve got sucked up in the Stones original managers plan for them, be opposite of the Beatles. Oh well, I said my piece and leave it at that
Being I followed them from the very beginning I really enjoyed this mini-doc and thanks for putting it on. All this stuff about Brian is tragic but self inflicted and he became a foot note as The Stones re-wound and preceded to become THE GREATEST ROCK~N~ROLL BAND IN HISTORY~!!!!
If you're just getting into/discovering the Stones don't pay any attention to this doc. The facts are all over the place. Best doc is 25 x 5 released in '89 only on VHS and bits on youtube I think.
Great documentary, and now 6 years later the Stones are still going strong with no signs of slowing down. Looking like they are closer to 18 than 80. God Bless the Rolling Stones!
My secretary, at the time a 19 year-old African American hippie, was at Altamont and she claims she saw nothing and it was a blast from start to finish!
Read Keith Richards book Life. He talks about Anita and Brian and he mentions that Brian was abuses and would hit Anita and he even mentions a scene where The Rolling Stones and Anita were at a hotel or something and Brian ordered room service and a whole tray of food comes and he got upset about something and was throwing the food all around the room or something and he went hit Anita but she ended up ducking her something like that and instead of hitting her he ended up hitting his hand on the windowsill or something and broke it. I know Mick and Keith from what I have read and seen it interviews have dumped on Brian a good deal more than the other band members have but, both Bill and Charlie came out and like Mick and Keith they agreed that Brian was no angel and could be abusive both verbally, physically and emotionally.
@@Morcaiden I hear Anita was just as abusive almost....to Brian. Then when Keith fell in love with her she was with Mick who was always Anita's ultimate goal. she fucked everybody and could apparently get away with it.
Brian Jones was the songwriter of the early Stones; at a time the band produced its best music. The hauntingly beautiful early songs such as Lady Jane, Ruby Tuesday, Paint it Black..including all the blues pop songs were the creation of Brian Jones - not Mick and Keith. To this day, after Brian Jones, the Stones have not risen to that level of musicianship again.
Yes. He had the ideas but couldn't ever finish since he was a perfectionnist… They stole them and put them in form of songs… and "forgot" to add his name on the credits: thieves!
Brian Jones did in fact write 2 songs for the rolling stones. The first was entitled "Sure I Do". There is some speculation that Gene Pitney helped Brian complete the song. It was recorded in 1963 with Brian singing lead vocals. It maybe a variation on the song "Sure Nuff I Do". There is a record acetate of the song hanging on the wall of Bill Wyman's Sticky Fingers Cafe in London. SURE I DO (Brian Jones)* Rec: Nov. 20 or 21, 1963** Rel: Not released. There's a myth that Brian never wrote a song. That's not true. SURE I DO exists on tape and acetate. It was published by Posner music Co., and is reportedly a slow number with Brian singing the lead vocal in his soft spoken mellifluous style speaking voice, not his raspy singing voice. The Stones appear as a unit on this tune. Brian told a ROLLING STONES MONTHLY reporter as late as '66 that he'd like to record "himself...I've got a fairly good voice for folky material"; (RS Monthly #23, 4/66)- I always think his rasp would have served the band well on the occasional blues, myself The other is "I Want You To Know" I WANT YOU TO KNOW (Brian Jones)* Rec: Dec. 7 or 9, 1963** Rel: Never released. Another Brian song, featuring Brian on lead vocals and harmonica. Two versions of this may exist. This is a fast song, sung in the "raspy" I Wanna Be Your Man voice. *On the acetate, Brian's name was crossed out, replaced with Jagger/Richard, which was in turn replaced by Brian's name again. **The Stones recorded more publisher's demos at this session,including GIVE ME YOUR HAND (AND I'LL HOLD IT TIGHT), YOU MUST BE THE ONE and WHEN A GIRL LOVES A BOY. Some session men may appear on these tunes. The most contested Jones writing credit is the one he didn't receive on "Ruby Tuesday". There was a quote in the Stones book by Alan Clayson by Marianne Faithfull where she says, "Brian wrote the music (for Ruby Tuesday) by combining a Skip James Blues and Downland's "Air on the late Lord Essex". An interesting quote but grossly incorrect.
What happened to Bill??? He was just...gone. And I had totally spaced him out. Not much of anything said about him and I only realized when they had to "hurry" and replace the other Mick that they had dropped to 4. Thanks for the Doc.🤘🏼
He sucks on this, but that book he wrote is amazing. He toured with the Stones in 69, first US tour in 3 years, Brian freshly face down in his pool, and it all culminated in Altamont. Quite a read. Film canisters full of cocaine.
actually keith tells the whole story in his biography...it's not as white or black as it sounds. Anita choose to go with him -sp Keith didn't steal anyone . It was Anita's choice too.
Great documentary, but the Stone's as the "World's Greatest Rock n' Roll Band" did NOT die on the "stage at Altamont". Them getting Mick Taylor in 1969 was just the beginning of it actually. Brian was a brilliant Welshman, however, he actually was most important to the pop and psychedelic period, because he was a multi-instrumentalist: Xylophone, sitar, sax, flutes, dulcimer, etc.
I feel sad that a young person looking at this would be led to believe it was all true! I was a Stones fan from the beginning and some of this is hyperbole! I was a Brian Jones fan more than the rest! Still have his autographs! Eric Easton was first manager and oldham came and joined him! Co managers! very innocent times really at the beginning and here it’s like they planned everything! Oldham fancied Jagger! just saw Jagger at London Stadium and he’s really like an Old Queen even if he has 9 kids! I like Mick just in case - my first work on a Rock video was Jaggers 2nd solo single I could go on but the truth gets buried in History! Just don’t take all this Doc as gospel!
Sad that Brian Jones died young in a tragic accident in '69. Every time I speak to those who were around in the swinging '60's seem to like either the Stones or Beatles very few, I know, liked both. I do and the Animals, Kinks, Dave Clark Five, Freddy and the Dreamers, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Mojos and many more.
John Podash on Buzzsaw talked about someone saying they saw Brian getting drowned by some men in the pool. It was over money or rights to music. Mic and Keith didn't attend the funeral! Brian seemed to have a fragile ego and needed to be loved or respected it seems. Then to have your friend and co worker in the band you help found takes your girlfriend whom you are in love with....No wonder be bottomed out. It sounds like someone had him removed over money and rights to music.
My Mum was a fan of the Rolling Stones since 1965 too,she was just 12 and when she was 18 I was born in 1971 and I grew up with great music because my father loved the Beatles and they hear everything from England ;-)))
I grew up with the Stones, in the UK, and to me the last Album they made was properly name Last Exile On Main Street, after that they started to sound like The Bee Gees on smack, " I am your emotional rescue " , THAT was the Bee Gees on Smack. Long Live the Rolling Stones, though today they are a Corporation. Let It Bleed, now THAT is Rock n Roll.
Of course Marianne Faithfull was not a real aristocrat nor was her mother a Countess but it was a good story.Mick Jagger admitted the crowd enjoyed her story and thats all that counts.
This flick was negative until the last 3 minutes. One partial Stones song is all i heard too. Stones went into a downward spiral they never came out of ? Really? Seems they did very well to me. Stones are awesome!!!!!! This film not so much👎
The 60s were before my time but looking back on the decade, I have never been able to understand what turned people on about The Beatles. I thought their music was lame but the Rolling Stones on the other hand were amazing.
he ruined himself with drugs, they never wanted to kick him out, they gave him a lot of time to sober up enough to function, but he didn't. Plus Keith and Mick learned how to write hit songs. Brian didn't want to grow and evolve.
The stones are the greatest band on the planet and I believe they deserve respect seeing as how they have been around for 54 years. Just like anything you have good and bad times. I say just sit back and enjoy their music purchase their albums and concert dvds . For Christmas sakes people stop fighting about small issues their are much bigger things to fight about than a documentary. Just enjoy one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever.
Brian has 5-6 kids. when Anita and Keith hooked up, so cruel!! and being pushed out his own band!! no wonder he died!! but he wasn't the nicest guy.....all the stones are nasty. cept bill and charlie
Please stop the myth that Altamont ended the 1960s... Also... Someone did die at Woodstock. A teenage boy went to sleep underneath a vehicle and was subsequently ran over... The stabbing was ruled to be in self defense as the man with the gun was erratic and could have shot one of the band members. Yes, the American Hell's Angels were not a great choice but no one mentions that Mick Jagger quite courageously, with the rest of the band, stayed on stage and calmed the audience down and probably prevented an even more out of control situation. When The Beatles played in Hamburg there were fights that led to fatalities... Bad shit happens when people get loaded.
ipsurvivor Hi. I was at Altamont, too. The Stones had done the free concert in Hyde Park in July, Mick Taylor’s first concert with them. Not a great concert but it had been planned well ahead. Brian died shortly before it, so it became a memoriam to him. Altamont was intended to be a free concert, period. The guys who arranged Woodstock also arranged Altamont, badly. Actually, they lucked out with Woodstock. Anyway, the first venue backed out and after much fast legal negotiations via one of the slickest fat cat attention jonesed attorneys in the state, a deal was made for Altamont. The Stones were not personally involved. The Stones did not hire the Hells Angels. The violence directly in front of the stage was not caused by the Stones. The guy who was killed was not killed because he was with a white girl. He whipped out a gun and started waving it around right in front of a Hells Angel. Bad idea. A peace and love age of innocence did not end that night. I had a great time. Oh, yeah, it most definitely was not an ocean of teenagers. People of all ages came. A few people arrived as well; born at Altamont. I was a teenager and with all the many experiences I’ve lived since then, I wouldn’t have missed it.
Interesting but have to mention the glaring mistake of the short-shrift they give to the highly musical years that Mick Taylor was in the band. One of the talking-heads says that after Brian's leaving the band, they never got to those musical heights. If you watch some of the live shows of the Taylor years, you get see rock at its finest. Wrote their many, many rock classics then and performed them with amazing power.
How can they say Brian Jones was a mistake, he formed a band and they go super famous and Keith stole his girlfriend and they kicked him out of the band? so let's test the hull of the titanic by rammming it against an iceberg, oop he was a mistake.
James Mundell his band ???HA..!Keith didn't steal Anita..he rescued her from Brian's beatings..you can't steal someone who's willing to go..the band was always best with Mick Taylor..
Charles Steenburgen Anita Pallenberg wasn't a weak woman you need to rescue. She was strong absolutely very strong woman and no it was definitely not a one way road what comes to fighting and beatings. Keith was a backstabber...living almost a year with Brian and Anita before all happened.
Charles Steenburgen .......I loved Mick Taylor but there’s really no disputing the fact that the Stones lost the sound that *made* them after Brian had been unceremoniously dumped. I think the Glimmers were insanely jealous of both Brian and Mick Taylor, both of whom were better looking and infinitely more accomplished musicians. As for Keith and Anita, they beat each other up.
In a world where The Beatles existed, the Stones can never be #1. In less than 7 years of recording, they got more #1, more sales, invide America, bent the URSS and changed the music World. The Stones are great but they are not even close to the Fab Four.
+George Harrison will never understand the reason behind comparing the two bands . Completely different music styles , completely different people ... I prefer to put my time and money into the Stones every day.. The last time I listened to the Beatles ... well I'm not sure, but I know its been a very long time ..
+George Harrison The McBeatles churned out bland, generic pop Happy Meals to billions and billions; the Stones played edgy, gutsy rock to appeal to the millions who prefer not to be treated like lobotomized infants. Thank God.
+Vickie S I have a good few Beatles albums but I'm like you Vicki, I can't remember when I last played a Beatles album. Their sound seems dated to me, "She Loves You" yeah yeah yeah.....Gimme the Stones anytime. Your right what you say about different band, different people....The Stones manager at the time, Andrew Loog Oldham wanted them to be different, the Beatles were goody goodies and the Stones were the bad boys, ha ha. I liked the Stones bluesy music and that's what got me into these boys way back in '63. 53 years and counting, they are the greatest rock n roll band in the world.
+RollingStones50yrs5 Born in 1960 to a Stones fan for a dad ... been listening since toddler years .... followed their career for much of my life ... feel like I've loved them forever ... and now thanks to you-tube .. I'm free to watch the Rolling Stones any ole time . The answer to my prayers indeed ... I think of when I fell for them in the 60s ..who would have known they would end up being the greatest band in the world .. so proud of them .
Chuck Berry invented rock and roll, they also was inspired by muddy water...Muddy invented the blue... They even got their name "Rolling Stones!" By a song muddy waters song called "Rolling Stones" bcus he was so rebellious he had a love for black music and it inspired him. That love made them famous
It’s a shame that Brian couldn’t see Jaggers genius as a frontman and that he was obviously going to be the focus point or that Keith has a deep songwriting ability and vision. He should of rolled with it got his head down and wrote his own songs but saying all this he was an addict and that doesn’t just mean drink/drugs addiction is a mental illness so his behaviour and emotions would of been unstable. All those rockstars that died had the same sensitive unstable addictive personality.

What did Altamont have to do with them suddenly stopping being the 'World's Greatest Rock N' Roll' band? They played even better a few years later on the 1972 tour. And wtf 33:15 - the 1971 Exile sessions suddenly become the 1977 Some Girls sessions with Ian McLagan talking about playing on Miss You? This doc. is a mess.
***** You said 'because,' which suggests a reason for why they weren't the greatest band (aka their playing ability had diminished), which still doesn't make sense.
***** Anyone who starts a sentence with "Because" is saying they're offering a reason for why something was said. Hence, when you said "Because of the increased media scrutiny after Altamont" [which indeed has nothing to do with playing ability], you were offering a REASON. Need any other lessons in Sentence Structure 101, I'd be happy to give them. Thanks :)
Sorry that I didn't scroll down to read your post. I just posted the same thing! I also hated the way that the documentary jumps back and forth in time. They talk about the stones reveling in their dark, satanic image in Beggar's Banquet and Let it Bleed years, then refer back to the '67 Redlands bust. Continuity sucked.
You might not understand how crazy copyright has become. It's really sad how stifling it is, they would likely not even be able to play 5 secs without getting slapped with a lawsuit
Ian Stewart wasn't "unceremoniously sacked," he was demoted. He continued to play keyboards for the Stones in the studio and worked as their road manager. Sloppy.
I love documentaries about rock but especially about the Stones. They have such an amazing story and they have done it all , good and bad. They still hold your imagination and they can still bring it live. Long Live The Rolling Stones FOREVER
Gee thanks Glenn
i see what you did there
Keith did not first pick up a guitar at art school, his granddad gave him one years before. Read Keith's autobiography.
a absolute amazing book! in fact, this book brought me here
Satisfaction, Shattered, She's So Cold, Gimme Shelter, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Start Me Up, Under My Thumb, Angie, & Beast of Burden are the top songs that stood out the best for me. Satisfaction is there trademark, with that guitar playing from the beginning, it made a signature sound for Rock & Roll.
And it will never die, but multiply from one generation to the next.

I actually feel sorry for Brian. Sad.
yup, such a genius
True.
Brian was killed by that live in grounds keeper, a jealous bastard & got away with it. Especially when Brian was recording & getting a band together
Randy King He was a total druggie. And, all of that talent. He was very abusive to women.
Krystal Reynolds I do. Or drugs killed him. I don't think he was murdered by one of the Stones.
Love the fact that it gives kudos to Oldham, Stewart, and especially Brian Jones.

good comment! I see it the same way..

Brian was the band's first harmonica player, he showed Mick how to play the harp.
Brian was the bands first and last looser .. Mick didn't need him for any thing trust me .

This is an EPIC Band. Transformed and evolved over time. Hats off to this Band !!!

Check out Psychick TV's Godstar single from '86, it's a great tribute to Brian. That was my introduction to the legend of Brian Jones.
@@powrxplor69 Heard 'Brian Jones' Bastard Son' by The Folk Devils?... it's of a similar vintage.
Mick just turned 74 and I don't want to move like Jagger no more
SUGAR XYLER ! I want to move like 74yo Jagger when Im 74yo as well.
Thank you for this video. I didn't know all this about the Rolling Stones early years. Sounds like Brian Jones didn't just drown; he died of a broken heart. Wish he could've found another girl. I've just recently been learning about him. He sounds very sweet.
he didnlt drown he was drowned, murdered by a tradesman he kept umiliating because he was a cunt.

It was he who supposedly “coaxed” a (death-bed) confession out of Thorogood, how convenient for him. Regardless, while it may be true that Brian owed Thorogood money, he was unable to pay because that pair of egotistical jerks (aka the Dimmers) hadn’t paid Brian. I don’t think we’ll ever know the truth.
Why would anyone confess to a murder they never commited? Ridiculous.
Sam Downer .......Thorogood’s family say no such “confession” was ever made.
So? They are liars.

Legendary guitarist Robert Johnson was in the modern era...with a mysterious end as well
My Dad saw the Stones when they were just starting out in Richmond, Kingston etc. He says that is still the best time for the band. In his opinion anyway.
My favorite band signed on my first birthday. Saw them in 1981...1994.....2006...greatest band ever.........
I always loved the stones over the Beatles
the stones are apples. the beatles are oranges. basketball and baseball.
You have to appreciate the Beatles tho , they influenced just as many people
I've always loved the Beatles over the stones. Pink Floyd over that cover band led Zeppelin.
That’s why you’ve always been an idiot Donald

The Stones and The Who still going, so happy i got to see both

My secretary, at the time a 19 year-old African American hippie, was at Altamont and she claims she saw nothing and it was a blast from start to finish!
Damn stole Brian's girl and then kicked him out the band.. smh. That's some b.s...
Read Keith Richards book Life. He talks about Anita and Brian and he mentions that Brian was abuses and would hit Anita and he even mentions a scene where The Rolling Stones and Anita were at a hotel or something and Brian ordered room service and a whole tray of food comes and he got upset about something and was throwing the food all around the room or something and he went hit Anita but she ended up ducking her something like that and instead of hitting her he ended up hitting his hand on the windowsill or something and broke it. I know Mick and Keith from what I have read and seen it interviews have dumped on Brian a good deal more than the other band members have but, both Bill and Charlie came out and like Mick and Keith they agreed that Brian was no angel and could be abusive both verbally, physically and emotionally.
I don't think Anita was the kind of girl you 'steal' - she decided to trade up.
@@Morcaiden I hear Anita was just as abusive almost....to Brian. Then when Keith fell in love with her she was with Mick who was always Anita's ultimate goal. she fucked everybody and could apparently get away with it.
Brian Jones was the songwriter of the early Stones; at a time the band produced its best music. The hauntingly beautiful early songs such as Lady Jane, Ruby Tuesday, Paint it Black..including all the blues pop songs were the creation of Brian Jones - not Mick and Keith. To this day, after Brian Jones, the Stones have not risen to that level of musicianship again.
Yes. He had the ideas but couldn't ever finish since he was a perfectionnist… They stole them and put them in form of songs… and "forgot" to add his name on the credits: thieves!
Laura Toffan Bullshit..ALWAYS BEST WITH MICK TAYLOR
Brian Jones did in fact write 2 songs for the rolling stones. The first was entitled "Sure I Do". There is some speculation that Gene Pitney helped Brian complete the song. It was recorded in 1963 with Brian singing lead vocals. It maybe a variation on the song "Sure Nuff I Do". There is a record acetate of the song hanging on the wall of Bill Wyman's Sticky Fingers Cafe in London.
SURE I DO (Brian Jones)* Rec: Nov. 20 or 21, 1963** Rel: Not released. There's a myth that Brian never wrote a song. That's not true. SURE I DO exists on tape and acetate. It was published by Posner music Co., and is reportedly a slow number with Brian singing the lead vocal in his soft spoken mellifluous style speaking voice, not his raspy singing voice. The Stones appear as a unit on this tune. Brian told a ROLLING STONES MONTHLY reporter as late as '66 that he'd like to record "himself...I've got a fairly good voice for folky material"; (RS Monthly #23, 4/66)- I always think his rasp would have served the band well on the occasional blues, myself
The other is "I Want You To Know"
I WANT YOU TO KNOW (Brian Jones)* Rec: Dec. 7 or 9, 1963** Rel: Never released. Another Brian song, featuring Brian on lead vocals and harmonica. Two versions of this may exist. This is a fast song, sung in the "raspy" I Wanna Be Your Man voice. *On the acetate, Brian's name was crossed out, replaced with Jagger/Richard, which was in turn replaced by Brian's name again. **The Stones recorded more publisher's demos at this session,including GIVE ME YOUR HAND (AND I'LL HOLD IT TIGHT), YOU MUST BE THE ONE and WHEN A GIRL LOVES A BOY. Some session men may appear on these tunes.
The most contested Jones writing credit is the one he didn't receive on "Ruby Tuesday". There was a quote in the Stones book by Alan Clayson by Marianne Faithfull where she says, "Brian wrote the music (for Ruby Tuesday) by combining a Skip James Blues and Downland's "Air on the late Lord Essex". An interesting quote but grossly incorrect.
Marc Bell - He didn't write Ruby Tuesday.
Brian was his own worst enemy.
Good stuff! Thanks for posting.
What happened to Bill??? He was just...gone. And I had totally spaced him out. Not much of anything said about him and I only realized when they had to "hurry" and replace the other Mick that they had dropped to 4. Thanks for the Doc.🤘🏼
Great Documentary!
Can't imagine a world without the Stones. Can you?
I don't even WANT to imagine such a thing!
This guy with the red glasses is making me fall asleep every time he opens his mouth
yes, he sounds almost comatose or on something. weird
who is he
He sucks on this, but that book he wrote is amazing. He toured with the Stones in 69, first US tour in 3 years, Brian freshly face down in his pool, and it all culminated in Altamont. Quite a read. Film canisters full of cocaine.

A Bigger Bang is actually one of my favorite albums of the 21st century.
for me always no1 ,the only rolling stone brian jones (love yahh) ♥
marjo kamp You're out of your mind..the band was always best with Mick Taylor....
Brian Jones was the band member who played sitar, among other instruments, on songs from the mid-1960's such as Paint it Black.
23:40 - Brian became erratic because the cops targeted him and busted him SEVEN times; wore him down.
+steve conn damn right
No. You wanna know why he got arrested so many times? Drugs, that's why he became erratic
Keith took his girl they then took his band!! No wonder Brian went off the rails....
Who cares about that disgusting satanic or whore.
actually keith tells the whole story in his biography...it's not as white or black as it sounds. Anita choose to go with him -sp Keith didn't steal anyone . It was Anita's choice too.

Great documentary, but the Stone's as the "World's Greatest Rock n' Roll Band" did NOT die on the "stage at Altamont". Them getting Mick Taylor in 1969 was just the beginning of it actually. Brian was a brilliant Welshman, however, he actually was most important to the pop and psychedelic period, because he was a multi-instrumentalist: Xylophone, sitar, sax, flutes, dulcimer, etc.
A Stones documentary without the Stones' music.
THE ROLLING STONES ARE TRUE ICONS! LEGENDS AND THEY ARE ROCKING ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
The man explaining this named Stanley Booth is boring as HELL listening to him talk is killing my ears. Smh.
Always love you Rolling Stones!!!
THE ROLLING STONES 60 YRS OF ROCK AND ROLL AND STILL PUMPING OUT THE MUSIC 🎶
I feel sad that a young person looking at this would be led to believe it was all true! I was a Stones fan from the beginning and some of this is hyperbole! I was a Brian Jones fan more than the rest! Still have his autographs! Eric Easton was first manager and oldham came and joined him! Co managers! very innocent times really at the beginning and here it’s like they planned everything! Oldham fancied Jagger! just saw Jagger at London Stadium and he’s really like an Old Queen even if he has 9 kids! I like Mick just in case - my first work on a Rock video was Jaggers 2nd solo single I could go on but the truth gets buried in History! Just don’t take all this Doc as gospel!
Sad that Brian Jones died young in a tragic accident in '69. Every time I speak to those who were around in the swinging '60's seem to like either the Stones or Beatles very few, I know, liked both. I do and the Animals, Kinks, Dave Clark Five, Freddy and the Dreamers, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Mojos and many more.
Legends!

Absolutely Aditi, I've been a fan since I bought their very first record.....just love these guys !!

John Podash on Buzzsaw talked about someone saying they saw Brian getting drowned by some men in the pool. It was over money or rights to music. Mic and Keith didn't attend the funeral! Brian seemed to have a fragile ego and needed to be loved or respected it seems. Then to have your friend and co worker in the band you help found takes your girlfriend whom you are in love with....No wonder be bottomed out. It sounds like someone had him removed over money and rights to music.
fan of them from 1966.
+Roger Nygard
I started in '63 ...

My Dad was a fan of them since 1965.

My Mum was a fan of the Rolling Stones since 1965 too,she was just 12 and when she was 18 I was born in 1971 and I grew up with great music because my father loved the Beatles and they hear everything from England ;-)))
I heard their first single in 63 on Radio Luxembourg but it was with the FABULOUS Not Fade Away that I became one of their first and extreme fan…
Thanks
Grew up with my Daddy since I was 10 years old Fan 4 ever
Enjoyable and informative but I would have preferred to hear more of the music.
I grew up with the Stones, in the UK, and to me the last Album they made was properly name Last Exile On Main Street, after that they started to sound like The Bee Gees on smack, " I am your emotional rescue " , THAT was the Bee Gees on Smack.
Long Live the Rolling Stones, though today they are a Corporation. Let It Bleed, now THAT is Rock n Roll.
Of course Marianne Faithfull was not a real aristocrat nor was her mother a Countess but it was a good story.Mick Jagger admitted the crowd enjoyed her story and thats all that counts.
The character in this video that stands out the most is Stanley Booth. Imagine him giving a 1 hr speech?
Writing a paper about these dudes, I love them
R.I.P Brian Jones and Charlie Watts
This flick was negative until the last 3 minutes. One partial Stones song is all i heard too. Stones went into a downward spiral they never came out of ? Really? Seems they did very well to me. Stones are awesome!!!!!! This film not so much👎
The 60s were before my time but looking back on the decade, I have never been able to understand what turned people on about The Beatles. I thought their music was lame but the Rolling Stones on the other hand were amazing.
Brian Jones' story is a Greek tragedy. The monster he created destroyed him.
Robert Cross that's Mary Shelley's frankenstine
he ruined himself with drugs, they never wanted to kick him out, they gave him a lot of time to sober up enough to function, but he didn't. Plus Keith and Mick learned how to write hit songs. Brian didn't want to grow and evolve.
It's a shame that there was no original music on this documentary. Only kerrappp.
Apparently Bill coined the word 'groupie' on the band's 1965 Australian tour.
RIP Brian Jones, Charlie Watts and Ian Stewart
the second you hear random music,that isn't the band the doc is about...you know it's gonna suck!
CORRECTION, MY FRIEND . . . . . ."IT WAS" KEITH, WHO HAD THE CHUCK BERRY RECORDS UNDER HIS ARM . . . . . NOT MICK.
The hell's angels are disgusting. Disgusting.
evimlck I guess the hells angels should have let that man shoot them the Stones.🤔 you realize the black dude was aiming a gun at Mick?
Have some sympathy for the devil. Pun intended.
Markus Wilson
No, he just had a revolver so he could defend himself, not to shoot the stones.
Fuck them...come to NY and start that shit assholes.
What do you expect from a 1% club, mick was the 1 that hired them.
I don’t think we’ll ever see a better album trilogy than Sticky Fingers, Exile and Goat’s Head Soup.
The stones are the greatest band on the planet and I believe they deserve respect seeing as how they have been around for 54 years. Just like anything you have good and bad times. I say just sit back and enjoy their music purchase their albums and concert dvds . For Christmas sakes people stop fighting about small issues their are much bigger things to fight about than a documentary. Just enjoy one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever.
Well done... and yes, the No Filter tour proved that there is still plenty of money to be made by The Stones!
Brian has 5-6 kids. when Anita and Keith hooked up, so cruel!! and being pushed out his own band!! no wonder he died!! but he wasn't the nicest guy.....all the stones are nasty. cept bill and charlie
well, brian jones books a posh classy nice hotel for himself, and then tells the other guys to go stay in a crap hotel.
that says a lot about him.
Grew up with my Daddy Edward DeStefano since I was 10 years old Fan 4 ever
Please stop the myth that Altamont ended the 1960s... Also... Someone did die at Woodstock. A teenage boy went to sleep underneath a vehicle and was subsequently ran over... The stabbing was ruled to be in self defense as the man with the gun was erratic and could have shot one of the band members. Yes, the American Hell's Angels were not a great choice but no one mentions that Mick Jagger quite courageously, with the rest of the band, stayed on stage and calmed the audience down and probably prevented an even more out of control situation. When The Beatles played in Hamburg there were fights that led to fatalities... Bad shit happens when people get loaded.
ipsurvivor Hi. I was at Altamont, too. The Stones had done the free concert in Hyde Park in July, Mick Taylor’s first concert with them. Not a great concert but it had been planned well ahead. Brian died shortly before it, so it became a memoriam to him. Altamont was intended to be a free concert, period. The guys who arranged Woodstock also arranged Altamont, badly. Actually, they lucked out with Woodstock. Anyway, the first venue backed out and after much fast legal negotiations via one of the slickest fat cat attention jonesed attorneys in the state, a deal was made for Altamont. The Stones were not personally involved. The Stones did not hire the Hells Angels. The violence directly in front of the stage was not caused by the Stones. The guy who was killed was not killed because he was with a white girl. He whipped out a gun and started waving it around right in front of a Hells Angel. Bad idea. A peace and love age of innocence did not end that night. I had a great time. Oh, yeah, it most definitely was not an ocean of teenagers. People of all ages came. A few people arrived as well; born at Altamont. I was a teenager and with all the many experiences I’ve lived since then, I wouldn’t have missed it.
The silver-haired dude acts like a major burnout!!
agreed. nothing like trying to decipher slurrrrred words.
Interesting but have to mention the glaring mistake of the short-shrift they give to the highly musical years that Mick Taylor was in the band. One of the talking-heads says that after Brian's leaving the band, they never got to those musical heights. If you watch some of the live shows of the Taylor years, you get see rock at its finest. Wrote their many, many rock classics then and performed them with amazing power.
clafong9 Thank you for your observation. No documentary without highlighting Mick Taylor’s contribution is incomplete.
So we have a Rolling Stones documentary with no Rolling Stones music. No licensed music from the period whatsoever. That is sad.
How can they say Brian Jones was a mistake, he formed a band and they go super famous and Keith stole his girlfriend and they kicked him out of the band? so let's test the hull of the titanic by rammming it against an iceberg, oop he was a mistake.
James Mundell they had a good reason to kick him out but still pretty fucked up
James Mundell He couldn't stay away from the drugs. He was no longer able to travel to the US.
James Mundell his band ???HA..!Keith didn't steal Anita..he rescued her from Brian's beatings..you can't steal someone who's willing to go..the band was always best with Mick Taylor..
Charles Steenburgen Anita Pallenberg wasn't a weak woman you need to rescue. She was strong absolutely very strong woman and no it was definitely not a one way road what comes to fighting and beatings. Keith was a backstabber...living almost a year with Brian and Anita before all happened.
Charles Steenburgen .......I loved Mick Taylor but there’s really no disputing the fact that the Stones lost the sound that *made* them after Brian had been unceremoniously dumped. I think the Glimmers were insanely jealous of both Brian and Mick Taylor, both of whom were better looking and infinitely more accomplished musicians. As for Keith and Anita, they beat each other up.
In a world where The Beatles existed, the Stones can never be #1.
In less than 7 years of recording, they got more #1, more sales, invide America, bent the URSS and changed the music World.
The Stones are great but they are not even close to the Fab Four.
+George Harrison will never understand the reason behind comparing the two bands . Completely different music styles , completely different people ... I prefer to put my time and money into the Stones every day.. The last time I listened to the Beatles ... well I'm not sure, but I know its been a very long time ..
+George Harrison Flab four on the FLOOR! STONES RULE EATS BEATLES FOR LUNCH. WHOSE STILL ROCKING??? LOL YOU LOSE!
+George Harrison The McBeatles churned out bland, generic pop Happy Meals to billions and billions; the Stones played edgy, gutsy rock to appeal to the millions who prefer not to be treated like lobotomized infants. Thank God.
+Vickie S
I have a good few Beatles albums but I'm like you Vicki, I can't remember when I last played a Beatles album. Their sound seems dated to me, "She Loves You" yeah yeah yeah.....Gimme the Stones anytime. Your right what you say about different band, different people....The Stones manager at the time, Andrew Loog Oldham wanted them to be different, the Beatles were goody goodies and the Stones were the bad boys, ha ha. I liked the Stones bluesy music and that's what got me into these boys way back in '63.
53 years and counting, they are the greatest rock n roll band in the world.
+RollingStones50yrs5 Born in 1960 to a Stones fan for a dad ... been listening since toddler years .... followed their career for much of my life ... feel like I've loved them forever ... and now thanks to you-tube .. I'm free to watch the Rolling Stones any ole time . The answer to my prayers indeed ... I think of when I fell for them in the 60s ..who would have known they would end up being the greatest band in the world .. so proud of them .
They've lasted - says a lot.
Simply the best
Greatest rock n roll band ever
Someone stop feeding Stanley Booth Quaaludes!
take em bro
He is 75 years old. He is from Tennessee, too, could be a drawl!
Still the GREATEST ROCK N' ROLL BAND in the world!!!
Chuck Berry invented rock and roll, they also was inspired by muddy water...Muddy invented the blue... They even got their name "Rolling Stones!" By a song muddy waters song called "Rolling Stones" bcus he was so rebellious he had a love for black music and it inspired him. That love made them famous
my boyfriend looks like a young mick jagger...if mick jagger wore glasses.
So you have an ugly boyfriend..LOL
It's weird whenever it's a Beatles documentary they ask the Beatles themselves, but here only other people get interviewed
It’s a shame that Brian couldn’t see Jaggers genius as a frontman and that he was obviously going to be the focus point or that Keith has a deep songwriting ability and vision. He should of rolled with it got his head down and wrote his own songs but saying all this he was an addict and that doesn’t just mean drink/drugs addiction is a mental illness so his behaviour and emotions would of been unstable. All those rockstars that died had the same sensitive unstable addictive personality.
anywhere, anyplace, anytime..............the world's greatest rock'n'roll band
God bless The Rolling Stones!

Brian was the genius.. Mick was the leader.
Anja
mick and keith were the geniuses
I know that BJones was the founder and genius of the Stones... been following them since 1968... but Jagger assumed leadership in no time
Anja Jagger and Richards wrote the songs that made them one of the greatest bands. Jones was just the founder and the leader in the beginning.

i sure am glad they ALL still have HAIR!the whole 20h century belongs to rock n roll...
What did Altamont have to do with them suddenly stopping being the 'World's Greatest Rock N' Roll' band? They played even better a few years later on the 1972 tour.
And wtf 33:15 - the 1971 Exile sessions suddenly become the 1977 Some Girls sessions with Ian McLagan talking about playing on Miss You? This doc. is a mess.
***** Middle America not showing up has nothing to do with their playing ability.
***** You said 'because,' which suggests a reason for why they weren't the greatest band (aka their playing ability had diminished), which still doesn't make sense.
***** Anyone who starts a sentence with "Because" is saying they're offering a reason for why something was said. Hence, when you said "Because of the increased media scrutiny after Altamont" [which indeed has nothing to do with playing ability], you were offering a REASON. Need any other lessons in Sentence Structure 101, I'd be happy to give them. Thanks :)
Sorry that I didn't scroll down to read your post. I just posted the same thing! I also hated the way that the documentary jumps back and forth in time. They talk about the stones reveling in their dark, satanic image in Beggar's Banquet and Let it Bleed years, then refer back to the '67 Redlands bust. Continuity sucked.
A Stones documentary witn NO Stones songs!!! Completely forgettable.
Maybe copyright laws forbade it.
You might not understand how crazy copyright has become. It's really sad how stifling it is, they would likely not even be able to play 5 secs without getting slapped with a lawsuit
Would cost an absolute fortune.
When it played Richards Satisfaction riff and it was in a totally different key. Says it all really.
Love The Stones!
When the stones began, how many instruments could Mick play?
Ian Stewart wasn't "unceremoniously sacked," he was demoted. He continued to play keyboards for the Stones in the studio and worked as their road manager. Sloppy.
