It's
1963 and the Stones are scruffy and raw. Fresh out of the blues cellars
they open the show playing a short selection of Chuck meets Bo Diddly.
This was the music that created the catalyst that brought the band
together and was to be the foundation that put the primitive jungle
ingredient in their sound.
You
are then taken on a fantastic time machine with their early self penned
hits, and with a bit of imagination you are watching them on Ready
Steady Go, Ed Sullivan or Top Of The Pops.
Their
clothes are a feast of tab collar shirts, jumbo cord trousers, Cuban
heels and short jackets. In this first half, you are watching the early
years, from Edith Grove to Carnaby Street - with the songs of that
period.
Moving
on 20 years, the Stones operation has grown into a gigantic world
conquering machine. The numbers in this set aren't just songs; they're
anthems. Their clothes are exclusive designer items. A cocktail of
leopard skin, pink satin, cat suits and sequins. In this half you are
watching the stadium years. Jumpin Jack Flash has been born and the
music weaves a tapestry of their greatest hits and album tracks from
1967 to 1980.
