Synopsis:
Formed in 1962 by the late guitarist and blues aficionado Brian Jones, The Rolling Stones first stable line-up included Jones plus; Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and pianist Ian Stewart. This line-up stayed in place (albeit with Stewart only continuing as a touring member from 1963) until the departure of Brian in 1969, a month before his tragic death. This period found the Stones initially covering blues and rock 'n' roll tunes, before Jagger and Richards assumed the role of truly majestic songwriters.
The band s progression musically and culturally during this period was nothing short of astonishing with the final album Jones played on, Beggars Banquet (save for his contributions to two cuts on its follow up), remaining for many the finest Stones album ever. By the time of Brian s death, former Blues breaker Mick Taylor had joined the group as second guitarist, and he stayed til late 1974, book-ending an era which saw the release of three of the Stones most acclaimed records, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street, all featuring the unique and acclaimed guitar work of Taylor. Mick s departure opened the door for Ronnie Wood to join in his place, since when, as far as guitarists go, that was it, and remains so til this very day. This 3 video set tells the story of the Stones from their inception, through each era of their existence, focusing on the contributions of the Four Guitar Gods who have dominated the Stones music. Each of the films here marks a different era by its associated guitarist, with one constant factor, the contributions of Keith Richards, who requires no separate story book, and no introduction, controlling as he does and always has done, the musical trajectory of the world's best Rock 'n' Roll band.
