07/12/2019 Very good, concise overview of the Stones career..but considering they are still going strong, not as complete as it could have been. Running under 2 hrs, it feels like it could have been more See more 02/27/2019 made you like them-can't help think that it was a promotional project-great music and drug days interesting. See more 03/11/2017 It was interesting and informative. They decided to have audio instead of video recordings of interviews, which was nice in an aesthetic way, but it'd have been nice if they'd told us whose voices were whose. It was kind of hard to tell who was doing the voiceover at times See more 01/24/2015 Its the Rolling Stones. What else can you say? An honest, candid peak at the phenomena and spectacle of most influential rock band in history. See more Grant S @grantss 03/17/2014 The ultimate Rolling Stones documentary. Captures very vividly their live performances through the years, as well as what making an album was like, plus their private lives. However, don't expect the usual micro-detail stuff, eg no "Mick Jagger was born on..." or the names of their albums and when they were released. In fact, there is very little references to dates. No, the main idea is to get a feel for the chain of events that was the career of the Rolling Stones, and what it was like being the members of the great band. For these reasons, it probably helps being a fan with a decent knowledge of the Stones' albums and songs. Not essential though - one can always fill in the gaps by reading Wikipedia. The live stuff is great, and some of it is quite rare. The behind-the-scenes stuff contains some particularly rare footage. A must-see for any fan of rock 'n roll. See more 02/25/2014 To commemorate their 50th anniversary, all past and present (living) members of The Rolling Stones gathered together for audio interviews to talk about the history of the band's first 30 years. The present day audio is played over a vast array of archival footage from concerts, news broadcasts, etc, and also gives the departed Brian Jones the chance to give in his input about things as they were happening then. For someone who not a whole lot of people had previously heard talk, he proves quite well spoken and intelligent, which makes the footage of him both great as well as bittersweet. You don't have to be a major fan of the band to appreciate this, but it probably helps. And, while some of the elitist diehards will probably not find a lot of new info here, it's still worthwhile for the sake of completionism. If you dig The Stones, or are just a fan of brash bluesy rock and roll in general, especially during the 60s and 70s, then definitely give this one a look. It's a pretty interesting and fun ride.
