The Rolling Stones, as well as Peter Tosh with Mick's walk-on, are on the Season 4 DVD set.

I have never played an instrument in my life, so I can't understand why they were so off on SNL. How do you sound like that in rehearsels and during the tour and then suck playing 3 songs live. I know you will say drugs but obviously they were doing drugs during rehearsels too.

I have a question about the SNL dvd's.
Are the SNL season dvd's with the music as it was played in those episodes?
I heard that that the dvd's on sale now don't contain the music anymore. If it does I would certainly buy it.

I eat drink live and breathe the stones since 1965. As a 19 year old, I attended the SNL rehearsals, a dream come true, they were great, amazing.
Most of my friends were not in to the stones, they did not have a big commercial hit since 71, 72, with Brown Sugar, tumblin Dice..Angie was not a favorite of rockers at the time.. Black n Blue was weak by most accounts.Love You Live was good, but the casual fan didn't hear it.
Finally, with the live SNL appearance Oct 7th 1978, I could show my friends, and the world why the stones were so great, the greatest, perhaps the first time many people would be seeing them live.
Finally, Lorraine Newman announces them, Ladies and Gentleman, the Rolling Stones, out comes Mick and my boys, then Jagger starts singing....
I was dissapointed, annoyed, and embarrased. The voice, the tinny sound, the licking of Woodys lips by Jagger, the rediculous antics durng shattered, the world would not see the stones as they really are.
thank goodness for Start Me Up 3 years later, the stones were bigger than ever in 81, but they lost out on new fans, possibly old fans for the 3 years after SNL.
I enjoy the SNL appearance for nostalgia now only. And now we know they would return, we didn't know then.

This has to be one of the worst performances vocally for Jagger. His voice is shot! TOAST! But it is fun as hell to watch. When he licked Ronnie's face you could hear a nation gasp.

When Mick started singing, you could hear an entire nation GROAN...
