on the night of Thursday 12 July, in a basement club called the Marquee, just a few feet below the cinema where the Triffids was screening, something much more unsettling was about to get under way.
A sober-suited crowd of about 80 men and 30 women were on hand to witness the Rolling Stones' first gig. There was a taste among both sexes for shapeless, utility-style clothes, stout shoes and goofy square glasses. (It's remarkable how many young men seemed to resemble Buddy Holly.) Based on the number of goatees in the photographs, many were also diehard jazz fans; those who were there report that the audience took some time to warm up to the Stones' 50-minute blast of American rhythm and blues.

Greatest Band Ever

My 4th fave after the Fab4, Led, and Beach Boys.
Angie is one of my favorite songs of all time.

They met and took this picture at the same location 50 years later.

I don't know what's more amazing, that they're still alive, or that they're still talking to each other.

You been money with the MB threads.
I said it the other day, the Stones were the band that taught me what rock and roll was all about.

Rolling Stones - Rice Krispies commercial (1964)
Brian Jones, before The Rolling Stones' performance at Georgia Southern University on 4 May 1965
quote:
Unsure and insecure as a composer, Jones was not a prolific songwriter. The 30-second "Rice Krispies" jingle for Kellogg's, co-written with the J. W. Thompson advertising agency in 1963 and performed by the Rolling Stones incognito was credited to Jones; this did not sit well with the rest of the band, who felt it was a group effort and all should benefit equally.

On a side note, Keefe says in his autobiography that Mick's stage dancing and moves were much better in the old days before he became too calculated about it. I agree.

I read this in an article about the anniversary. They've been generating a lot of buzz, so I was assuming they would do some sort of tour.
quote:
Richards said the band had begun rehearsing, but dates haven't been fixed.
"There's things in the works," he said. "It's definitely happening, but when I can't say yet."

I always agreed with John Lennon on Jagger's dancing. I like the Stones' music, but Jagger's unwatchable.
