One more thing about the first 10 years of Stones history - things we have seen several times before.... girls screaming during theur conserts, Mick and Keith in court in 1967, Brian dead in a swimming pool etc.... always thought Mick didn't like being nostalgic / looking back at old days.

So much has happened in the Stones' career, I for one agree that only an epic Anthology-style docco would truly do it justice.
No Direction Home was a great example of good, in depth documentary, and it only covered Dylan's career up until his bike crash.
90 minutes would hardly scratch the surface.

Somewhere I have a 5 DVD set Just For The Record, one disc per decade. An official version of something like that would be great.

I guess if Depps doco on Keith is ready it'll be held back so as not to compete.

What about Jonny Depp's movie about Keith...when is that due out?

I hope the documentary is honest, but fair towards Brian. Hopefully Keith off loaded most of his bitter crap in his book saving the mature introspective stuff for this documentary.

Agree. Some quotes at their official website seem to be unnecessary if you ask me:

“He had an arrangement with (Eric) Easton, that as leader of the band he was entitled to this extra payment. Everybody freaked out. That was the beginning of the decline of Brian. We said, @#$%& you...”
Keith Richards, 1963

I'm interviewing the director - will post story when ready -

New York, NY (March 21, 2012)– In celebration of the Rolling Stones’ 50th anniversary, Eagle Rock Entertainment is pleased to release a groundbreaking and eye-opening documentary, featuring remarkable revelations from the world’s most legendary band. This is the first film to ever trace the evolution of the Rolling Stones’ from 1963, making it the ultimate Stones experience. The film will be showcased in September as part of the Rolling Stones 50th anniversary celebrations.

“We are thrilled to continue our relationship with the Rolling Stones and help to bring this extraordinary documentary film to millions of fans,” said Terry Shand, Eagle Rock chairman and CEO.

The film is a cinematic journey through the incredible eye of director Brett Morgen, capturing hours of never-before-seen footage in a rare, uncensored format that reveals the band’s vivid stories told through their eyes and their voices. With paramount access to the band and their materials retrieved from vaults and personal archives, Morgen captures astonishing new interviews and footage. “For anyone who wants to experience the band, this is the film that will defy convention and create a sonic tapestry to transport viewers into the world of the Rolling Stones,” said Morgen, an Academy Award nominee who is known for esteemed work on The Kid Stays in the Picture among many other projects. “The film will deliver the original, bold, sexy and dangerous flavor of the iconic rock band.”

Fans go on the road, in the studio, behind the scenes, and witness each band member’s personal, unfiltered perspective on the legendary life of the Rolling Stones – embarking on a journey through 50 years of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. The film is executive produced by the Rolling Stones, produced by Victoria Pearman, co-produced by Morgan Neville and directed by Brett Morgen.

love your handle! Do you like Stompin'Tom!!! are you from the east coast?

Is it possible for any publicity person these days to avoid using the word "iconic" somewhere in the story? Get a dictionary, guys....

Thanks! I do like him, yes. Not from the east coast, though. I'm from Toronto. My band does a cover of that song once in awhile, hence my reason for using it as my name. It's a fun song to play

Tom's a friend of mine

good stuff, purepop.

Except that it follows their evolution from 1963 (and not from 1962) in celebration of their 50th anniversary. So 2013 is THE year.

I'll bet that it doesn't!

Two things:

1. I hope they find a title for it before September.
2. They really need to dump the idea of doing a documentary film and do a 10 hour miniseries. Really, how much can you pack into 2 hours that we don't already know? I thoroughly hope to be gobsmacked and stand corrected!

Too late! The book is being released on July 12, 2012 on the 50th anniversary. Like I said before, I wouldn't take Keith's words to literal.

The other thread on this said it would be 90 minutes. I'm hoping they're wrong.

Taken from RollingStones.com:

Brian Jones Born February 28, 1942

Brian Jones founded The Rolling Stones in 1962. A slide and rhythm guitarist, he became the band's utility instrumentalist, before parting ways with them in 1969, shortly before his death, aged 27.

So...is there to be no mention of the Rollin Stones?

That is just under 2 minutes per year on average.

Should be lots of time to do a very thorough job of covering the entire history of the band, the various players, influences, songs, albums, tours, wives, 'incidents', offspring.

It'd bloody need to be. Especially if they're talking about 80% of it being 'unseen' footage.

Cue an hour and a half of MTV-esque 'jump cuts' and worthless 30 second snippets of music.
