The amount of unskippable adverts interrupting this great documentary is scary , managed to get through it

The radio station in my town played start me up every day after the morning show. For a long time.

It´s 2024 and The Rolling Stones are and will always be THE GREATEST ROCK & ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD ever to exist.

These people don't know what they're talking about keep on rocking 80 years old unbelievable the true Spirit of rock and roll

Ronnie is wonderful. The stones (and their fans) needed him.

Goats Head Soup was a very good album imo., and Angie was a huge hit. Have you listened to it..Heartbreaker, Winter with some of Micks best vocals and Keith's Coming Down Again. Give it time to stew as Keith' says.

Glad they gave some appreciation to Black and Blue but then they went on to basically dismiss Emotional Rescue as a disappointment, which in my opinion, is also great Stones album that’s underrated.

I don’t think The Rolling Stones waste a single minute thinking about what these critics thought about their music. Like they say… No monument was ever created about about a critic, only to those criticized. Th se are songs that will be around long after we are all gone.

From all he went through, Keith is still with us to this day. That's telling you something. R.i.p. Mr. Charlie Watts 👍. Waiting on a Friend and Street Fighting Man are my 2 favorite tunes.

It's pretty amazing Billy Preston played in the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and many other groups, quite a talent.

The Rolling Stones will always be considered the greatest rock and roll bad in the world and as I know as a long time fan. But as I watch your documentary you never stopped and realized they were always evolving. I have seen them so many times and every show was never the same! Show me another band who has done more genre of music than you can talk about their imperfections!😎

This is a great documentary. Yes this was a different period to the classic 68-73 period, but it was a fascinating time, and still plenty to enjoy about the music. Would love to see a 1986-2023 documentary by the same period, ending on the high of Hackney Diamonds.

Good analysis on Ronnie but if you went to Central Casting he'd be there number one as a Rolling Stone! His intangibles kept the Stones together. He was a bridge between Keith and MIck!

I was 7 when tattoo you came out...the kids in my class had it on cassette and we played it in class...so it def made inroads with a new generation of fans...start me up , waiting on a friend, hang Fire , little t&a etc etc...ill always love that album...obviously I love the 60s and 70s era the best especially the early 70s, but tattoo you is a sentimental fave

Amen. Loved that album. Tongue in cheek and rocking!

Really good documentary. Thanks so much!

That was fantastic Lemmo 🔥!!! Thanks Jen !!!

The Rolling Stones are the best Rock and Roll in the world 🌍 we all know that. They might have done a lot, but in return the made it big in our world and from the beginning till now. Yes the had problems , but they always came back being a wonderful band. The are the Best in this World 🌎 Amen Always Debbie June Tucker 💖💯🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Rod did not announce that he was breaking up the Faces! Ronnie LANE was gone, Rod said Woody is on permanent loan to the Stones so he had no choice but to concentrate on his solo career. The band self destructed!

Black n Blue........ The only Stones LP I still listen to from first track through to last. Played it two days ago and followed it with some live Tyler Childers !! Peace all ✌

what a lot of people don't realize, and I'm glad they brought it up in this documentary Billy Preston was hands-down fucking great a great pianist and a Greek keyboard is but mainly pianist and his solo stuff you only had a couple of hits but damn they're so good and they're so happy that between the joy that Billy Preston brought and how can you not smile when you see Ronnie Wood's? if Ronnie Wood's is not the happiest person in the world I don't know who is. I mean in the video for waiting on a friend the man is sitting at the the bar with a cigarette in each hand and the guy is still alive today.... it just goes to prove that I'm tired of joy is better than bad lungs

Shame no mention of Ian McLagan’s contributions at all during this period, both in the studio and on stage

I love “undercover” album!

I love Black & Blue.

Ronnie was already an accomplished musician having been in the Faces, The Jeff Beck group, and various other R nB assemblies. He is known for his melodic complimentary playing along with his unique soloing style. He is well capable as a stand alone rhythm and lead guitarist and was before the Stones.

Zep,Stones,Who,Floyd, Dylan,CSNY,Clapton,Tull,Queen....it's ALL GOOD !!!!

Black and blue is still one of the most underrated albums they’ve done

Ex husband was a bass player & looked like Mick Jagger but more handsome, when 1st dating stranger’s mentioned it all the time. Recently asked our child her thoughts, her reply “Kevin Bacon”, can see both, so wild. May he R.I.P.🥀🕊️🎸

Great documentary!!! My opinions: Black and blue is a lot better than people give credit for. Some Girls was made for the radio. Albeit a breath of fresh air and a kick in the butt to the punks, being the stones embraced punk on that record. I can do without ever hearing miss you or shattered ever again Emotional reduce was trash except for all about you Tattoo you? Nice to see a lot of demos reworked into something modern sounding. Again made for the radio. Little T&A is a killer song, along with black limousine and slave Undercover super underrated. Couple songs(she was hot for example) are trash but not a bad record overall Woody changed the sound of the group. He was meant to be a stone from birth. A perfect match for keef and plays off jagger really well

It's about damn time I heard at least one person share my enthusiasm for Black and Blue

Shoots?! I thought Ronny Wood's guitar was freakin Loud?! Didn't think Rod could sing over that?!.....I was wrong. Rod rocked out back in the day.

Who are these guys saying Emotional Rescue wasn't any good? Its a great album! What the hell do they know? They're so so Cold! And Old!

I love this channel

I loved this doc.

Good show guys. How they survived ..a huge and beautiful subject. Black and blue is a million miles from say beggars etc . i love the stones and rock music. Thank you for this X dave

Great episode. I disagree with the Emotional Rescue talk. I think it’s a great album. It has a great Stones feel to it. I say 8 out of the 10 songs are play well and fit well into their catalogue. Cheers

3 words: MICK FUCKING TAYLOR

Sway is one of my favorite songs.!

The only reason Taylor didn't so called settle in further is they wouldn't give him any song writing credits for what he came up with.

Thanks!

Excellent entertaining documentry , so much detail . I liked the Sugar Blue interview . The Brain Jones and Mick Taylor era made them legendary , but I guess old Ronnie saved the Stones.

I can agree that it did seem that Ron Wood was made to be a Rolling Stone. It was as if he always was in the band. I also missed Mick Taylor but time came to move on. It worked out well and I'm glad for that having been a fan since I was 10yrs. Around 1965 I acquired my first record and always liked their down to earth rock style.

Thank God, Ronnie came along !!

Mick Taylor rules

Lovely to hear Subway Sect getting a mention.

Great Video. "Miss You" is my Favorite Rolling Stones record!!!! However, IMHO, the "falsetto" the commentator meant to say Mike emulated was the late great Eddie Kendricks! In which I believe Barry Gibbs himself emulated, too.

Ronnie is a fantastic guitar player. You can clearly hear his solo in whole wide world.

I realize that Mick, Keith and Ronnie are the stand-out members of the band, but would it have killed you to at least mention Charlie and Bill? I don't recall even hearing their names mentioned once throughout this vid.

DEVO did Satisfaction and it is one of the best punk homages to The Rolling Stones.

in 1982 my chum was exited because he’d got tickets for their 1982 Wembley show & as the guy says about his relationship with Elvis , I was 18 & my association with the band had been my older by 14 years sisters’ copy of Ruby Tuesday/ Let’s Spend the Night..on Decca & made when I was 1 or 2 years old . I couldn’t get excited about going to see them not because I hated them , just because of their being from the previous generation & hadn’t figured big in the British pop scenes of glam then punk which I’d lived through. Great documentary Thankyou

Nice doc.

I like all stones albums. I not fussy as long as it's the stones it that feel and sound. I particularly love undercover of the night.

Thanks for being my friend 😮

Really enjoyed what some really great critics had to say about one of the best and long running Rock bands. Also, it was great hearing the Stones run thru the line up of many of their best songs. Well done by all.

Never ceases to amaze me “Can you hear the music”. Hated it, at first. But, persisted & it grew on me. What an amazing song. No idea what instruments were played which created that sound. So, exotic, surreal & eclectic.

I like Emotional Rescue. I think it's an underrated album.

Good gracias

Young teenager in the States, we didn't know much of old Stones. Emotinal held it's own on it's own. To this day I and my friends of the time still Love it. When your born in '66 you didn't know or care about old Stones. There was a commercial selling old Stones material and it made us laugh.

They could have given Bill Wyman's two solo albums, from the early/mid 70s, at least a token mention. My God, they're just incredible! If you don't know, find them.

Loved Mick Taylor, love Ronnie Wood too.

Artistic quality-wise, definitely has taken a dip that has kept on dipping, right through to this century's up to the minute Hackneyed Die-Men.

Winter is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded by any band. Yes, I know, Mick T played on it.

I totally agree and I lived through it. I was in highschool when some guy walked up and said " Your F-ing band is done " ❗ I just said "No they're not " . I'd been following the Faces and Ronnie didn't just look like a Stone he played guitar like one. When Black n Blue came out I was thrilled,but not many others . I remember earlier on Let it bleed being hooked by Richards on " Monkey man" . I felt the same way when I heard " Hey Nagrita" and all the other tunes were a new sound and rowdy and they didn't sound like a ten year old band , funny but they sounded like a new band . It also sounded clean but edgy . The Stones were always and still are the best at their worst so no need for perfection. The mix of genres probably blindsided many Stones fans but not me . I was born in 56 and thank God my first artist that hooked me was James Brown and as a little kid one of my favorite songs was Iko Iko . Funk , Reggie / Rock and hard hitting rugged Rock n roll the Stones got more than my attention .😎

Mick Taylor's time in the Stones is my fav of the post Brian Jones era. His guitar playing was amazing. They never got that sophisticated edge back after he left.

Is there a video for the years between 67-75 ? Beggars banquet and let it bleed have so much rich history behind them. Great videos.

Billy Preston brought fresh and appreciated renewal to both the Beatles and the Stones. On the recent release of the Beatles special on streaming channels showed them stalling a bit and fighting a little. George was unhappy and briefly left, but when Billy Preston came by to help a little they were so enthusiastic it suddenly brought them all back in earnest. The Stones have been particularly blessed with great key boards since the beginning with Stu and Nicky Hopkins and many more. Crazy Mama is a really good song that Billy took up a notch.

54:26 I love that song, that's 1 of my favorite songs ever💜🤙

Led Zeppelin and The Who ask, "Are we nothing to you, narrator?" I like The Stones and all, and I understand this is a documentary about them, but by 1972 they were hardly left unchallenged as the world's greatest rock and roll band

🌬.......Keith, Ron, Mick, Mick T. and Bill are real survivers on somehow permanent heavy mountain climbing since decades......... adorable......I bow to you gentlemen 🙏 R.I.P. Brian, Charlie ❤ y'all had and still have a tremendous impact on ev'ryone who witnessed you🌬 wish y'all well out there 🙏📻🎸🥁 greetings from Germany

7:57 How many wrong things can a guy say about Ron Wood and The Faces in less than a minute (other than that they were boozers)? Ronnie was a monster riff and lead player while with the Faces. He's had most of it drained out of him while working for the Jagger/Richards machine.

Some say the Stones have done soul, some blues, some disco, some punk ... to me, 'it's only Rock and Roll, and I like it'.

This was a really good doc and they pulled out all the decent tracks from those patchier records - although I'd say that the 'big tunes' on Undercover of the Night were more innovative than they are given credit for here and still hold up, I like the title track and Too Much Blood - Sugarhill horns on that apparently.

Mick Taylor

The Rolling Stones had a song called "EVERYTHING IS TURNING TO GOLD" and that was true up until and through "SOME GIRLS' their last great album." The Stones hit their musical apex during the Mick Taylor years. I first saw the Stones live in 1975 and saw them in New Jersey in 2020. They are still a great live band, and there is no denying that Mick Jagger is the major reason why. His dedication to being in top form is a lesson for everyone.

Another great doc, thanks. Are these all original Amplified documentarys ? If so great work. This one and the Van Morrison one cover the less well known and later or mid-period years, do you have anything on the key 60's early 70's years for these artists ?

They were such a heavy band up till 74, drugs, death, occult accusations seen as devils, arrests, seen as freaks, people forget that Jagger was probably seen as the most outrageous controversial rebellious rockstar ever, riots,sex,altamount,and just a dangerous darkness around them and thats not who they were really and i think Mick just wanted to have fun and its amazing how he changed them into a fun time band and changed public perception whilst still being seen as rock n rollers! If they stayed the same they would not be where they are now

Too Much Blood is underrated.

Liked Ronnie Wood too; he’s great with the Stones.

Comparing Springstunned to Dylan is a laugh.

If you grew up in the 60's-70's, you were either a Beatles, or a Stone. No comprimise.

68-72 was their great period. There were great tracks before and since but that was when they found their groove and everything they did made sense. Mick Taylor was a big part of that. But then Gimme Shelter was all Keith, and that’s, for me, the best thing they ever did.

and at 44 seconds i drive by in Waiting for a Friend, right after he sings 'latest thing'

And hey The Rolling Stones Horror Show is still on the go with both Jagger and Richards hoping to die on stage on their latest tour while the crowd yells out for more.

Watching this reminded me how great Black & Blue is.

So why isn’t Ronnie on the photo instead of Mick T?

Does anyone know where I can hear that alt version of Its only rock and roll..., with the slide in it? (From the beginning of the special). What’s interesting is that Mick Taylor’s version with the Adam B (cover) has a lot of b-bender slide.

In talking of Ronnie and Keith they failed to mention they played in the Barbarians then the New Barbarians, even bringing Stanley Clarke on bass on tour. That was a great band that was under the radar- of this doc too apparently (!)

75-83 is my favorite Stones era. Ron was like an old pair of shoes. He just fit perfectly in terms of looks and playing. I had know idea that Jorma Kaukonen name was kicked around. That would have been odd but also could have been amazing but they got the right guy.

Jagger and Taylor wrote moonlight mile and despite Keith not even playing on that track and not being present when it was wrote the song was credited to Jagger and Richard's.

ON THE PUNK THING when I was a teenager I went into the pub off licence and the person behind the counter asked me what bands to book. It was a pub on the national music circuit. I had seen the stranglers once and told them to re book them because they are going to be big. I saw them again and then the song peaches came out. There is some punk influence on black and blue.

The Rolling Stones were the greatest band in the world between 1968 to 1980! Apart from maybe the Beatles abbey road and obviously the white album

I love these 90’s/00’s “show someone a clip and have them comment like they’re riffing off the top of their head” “docs” it’s always somebody who barely had anything to do with the band or maybe live next-door to the guy who used to be the limo driver for Slash or something… go look at all the sales and attendance numbers for ALL the 70’s records and tours. Real slumps a Telya I think Mick was down to to his last two private islands…it’s a miracle they even survived

I loved undercover.....

The Stones were finished by end of 1972 Jagger got real creepy after that .

Is there a documentary of the Stones from 1983 and onwards?

Woody was Absolutely amazing on the bridges to Babylon tour carrying Keith, don't know if it was planned or Keith just wasn't up to it

I have a friend, whos mom took him to see Hermans Hermits. A cute band; for teeny boppers. My friend was 12. The Who was the warm upband. He said that they were really wild, and very loud. I knew my friends mom. This guys father was a world champion rodeo star. So my friends mom was probably not scrared. It did probably surprise her 4sure. Years later i saw the Who. This friend was part of our group of folks. We were seniors in high school. 1976. The Who opened thier world tour in our city. Bob Marley, and the Wailer's were thier warm up band. The first song that I heard; by the Who was Pictures Of Lily. The first song that grabbed my attention was: I Can See For Miles. I was 13. My favorite song by the Who ( I guess is): Faith In Something Bigger. I listen to Quadraphinia about once per month; usually on a long drive somewhere. I watch Tommy when ever i want2. I love Anne Margaret in that movie. These guys met in high school. Peter Townsend said that his friend John Entwisle was walking across the school yard,twords him with Roger Daultry. RD had a rep as tough guy. Peter said that he was afraid he coming over to pick a fight with him. RD said to him: "John said your a good guitarist, i was to start a rock band". When i read that in a 1980 magazine, i thought. Yeah. Its nice when you meet a person that has a rep as a tough guy/ fighter, and they turn out to be alright. Even fun. Sounds like the start of my juvenile delingquint days. Glad i never got caught, and lived through it.

Don't know about CBGB Robert, however, Jagger did go to max's, which was a hipper club with great underground bands...

Best Band on the planet ever!!!

Damn Bill Wyman COOKIN on the Billy Preston songs. I saw this tour in Philly the old Spectrum
