    The Rolling Stones jus' happen to be my fave Band & of course anything with Mick Jagger in it...really well done!
  • May 30, 2008
    This one has great footage of early live performances by great bands. The performances by The Who, Jethro Tull, John Lennon in the early post-Beatles days, and, of course, The Rolling Stones are terrific.
  • February 11, 2008
    Late 60's legend-fest in a circus tent, with The Who, John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Marianne Faithful and of course, The Rolling Stones... plus acrobats and fire eaters. Classic!
  • January 7, 2008
    John Lennon is the best act, of course!
