I thought the same thing about the movie. How cool would that be if your video made it into the film??
I have nothing to contribute but I'm sure there might be some people here who could.
Cheers.
"First you shock them then they put you in a museum". Our private memorabilia items put into the Stones archive/museum? Funny thought...
There is. Theyve already confirmed a documentary for later this year.
Ah cool. I hadn't heard that. Clearly I don't stay informed, I had just heard of the book.

Earlier, when I read this topic I just closed it, refrained from commenting, because I didnt want to party poop, BUT AFTER READING SWISS'S COMMENT.... I AGREE 100%.... For years they made us bust our asses sneaking in equipment, camera in socks, getting felt up,,,, security aholes lining the front wall staring out like cops... taking away camera after camera..... AND NOW they want us to share with them.....YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!
I am no fan of the Grateful Dead, but I always admired the way they let people tape, that was so awesome. I never understood why most dumb ass bands had/have such an attitude about cameras and tapers etc.... I (really) said years ago... "Someday you might want to see what we captured, why let your performance to evaporate in the cosmos?, just let us record it, we are doing the work, and maybe someday we will share"...... BUT NO, THEY NEVER LET UP THE SECUURITY CRAP!!
How many times was anybody front row, stuck with some security idiot staring at you the whole show?.... it was awkward, to say the least.... and watching them leap the barricade, run into the audience to take away someone's camera/recorder??... WTF?? .. and now to ask for this.... YEAH RIGHT!!!!! I love Stones more than most.... but this is hypocritical.
anyway.../rant
As I said, I didnt post this before, just to be kind, get along and try to play nice with others, but I will back up Swiss's comment 100%.

Ahem...they "made us sneak in equipment"? I don't recall the Stones ever forcing anyone to bootleg them. I am an admirer of the folks who risked life and limb to surreptitiously record and film the Stones. I am grateful for them and have been rewarded by their efforts for over three decades. But at no time were any of these people forced to do what they did.

Not quite correct. The Dead vigorously pursued bootleggers (ie people who RELEASED live shows for profit on LP/CD etc) whilst encouraging tapers.
That would be really cool.
exactly
Merely pointing out a fact.
I really don't know what your problem is, but good luck with it.

cameras, but let everyone bring in a cell phone... just too funny

Posted one hour ago on the official Rolling Stones Facebook:
Dear Rolling Stones fans,
We're gearing up to celebrate our fiftieth anniversary with a lot of exciting plans, and we'd appreciate your help with some of them.
Have you got any interesting photos, videos or audio of the band or band members? Maybe you filmed us on Super 8, stepping off the Isle of Wight ferry in 1964? Or perhaps you have made a VHS recording of us hanging out backstage at MSG in 1981? Do you have a recording from our gig in Streatham in 1963?
If you think you may have an amazing memento from our history we'd love to hear from you. Send an email to: memorymotel@stonesarchive.com
Thank you for being with us for all of these years, it's been a wild ride and there's plenty more to come!
Love from Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie
Pretty cool!

Pearl Jam did something like this to make the PJ20 movie. Asked fans to send in whatever footage they might have for use in the film. Can't help but wonder if there's a 50th Anniversary film in the works when I read this.

Don't do it...Its a trap. I've already lost too much taping equipment to the them.
Plus it turns out I only have official releases at my ranch....no bootlegs at all.

They probably chop it completely up, misdate it, brickwall the audio, make it lossy, remove Bill Wyman, withdraw 60 dollars from the donator's bankaccount for RScom membership, and charge 10 dollars for a download at the same time.

The Beach Boys did a similiar thing last year in promotion for The SMiLE Sessions. On their Facebook page, they invited fans to post pictures of their bootleg copies of SMiLE. SMiLE was heavily bootlegged and there were different variations on the recordings released over the decades by many different sources...everyone had a different product to show and it was an entertaining feature on their FB page to skim through.

Well I hope if any of you feel generous enough to let them copy your personal footage you charge them and charge them well! Cheeky as @#$%& them wanting to use the very recordings they tried to prevent and threaten prosecution over.

If the Grateful Dead were asking for people's boots, that would be one thing. They didn't prosecute people from recording them in the first place--in fact, they encouraged it, and encouraged people to share with each other, and with them, if they felt like it.
But the Stones....? And maybe I'm just in a blue mood (I am) but it seems awfully smarmy and disingenuous -- all that xoxo Love from Ronnie, Keith, Mick & Keithy stuff.
As I responded on their Facebook post: "Who would henceforth own the rights to these items, if we did indeed have them, and share them with you?"
Surprised that no on else -- of the 10,000 LIKES and 600 comments -- already asked this question on Facebook.

Yer possibly shooting yourselves in the foot, people sharing their own personal recordings etc may result in everyone, you and me and them, having the chance to see/hear them when we otherwise probably wouldn't.
I shall be messaging mr Glasgow 66 to send his recordings in.

Earlier, when I read this topic I just closed it, refrained from commenting, because I didnt want to party poop, BUT AFTER READING SWISS'S COMMENT.... I AGREE 100%.... For years they made us bust our asses sneaking in equipment, camera in socks, getting felt up,,,, security aholes lining the front wall staring out like cops... taking away camera after camera..... AND NOW they want us to share with them.....YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!
I am no fan of the Grateful Dead, but I always admired the way they let people tape, that was so awesome. I never understood why most dumb ass bands had/have such an attitude about cameras and tapers etc.... I (really) said years ago... "Someday you might want to see what we captured, why let your performance to evaporate in the cosmos?, just let us record it, we are doing the work, and maybe someday we will share"...... BUT NO, THEY NEVER LET UP THE SECUURITY CRAP!!
How many times was anybody front row, stuck with some security idiot staring at you the whole show?.... it was awkward, to say the least.... and watching them leap the barricade, run into the audience to take away someone's camera/recorder??... WTF?? .. and now to ask for this.... YEAH RIGHT!!!!! I love Stones more than most.... but this is hypocritical.
anyway.../rant
As I said, I didnt post this before, just to be kind, get along and try to play nice with others, but I will back up Swiss's comment 100%.

Look at it this way, would you like to hear some as yet unheard to you recordings? It depends on what they intend to do of course, but this might be a way for a whole lot of people to hear a whole lot of amazing music by The Rolling Stones!
If the intention is for some kind of online archive, they should kick start it by putting 1962 Curly Clayton Sound Studio demo session or the 1963 Crawdaddy Club recording online as a download.

their site is a huge disappointment. Led Zeppelin's site is cool. You can go to all their concert dates and check out stuff for that show. That's what the stones should do. They can't even get dates up for most of their stuff.
About the comment on camera's... in the 70's it was no big deal to take in a camera. Then they got weird about it. I'm not sure why. They just gotta work on the mic and the length of film you can get into a cell phone now.
How many cameras???
