In 1982 West Nally ‘cut its teeth’ in music sponsorship. Never mind practicing
on something small – this was straight into the deep end with one of the biggest
rock bands of all time – The Rolling Stones.

At that time, West Nally was already working on some music related sponsorships for client Levi Jeans and was planning major concerts linked to the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain. The Rolling Stones management needed funding for the tour and West Nally were able to produce the goods.

TDK blank tape sponsored most of Europe with Lee Cooper jeans in the UK. Italian motor-cycle company Piaggio sponsored the Italian ‘leg’ and their sister company Gilera took France.

By 1983, West Nally were putting David Bowie into Levi jeans for his Serious Moonlight Tour – and also handled the merchandise sales worldwide. This was soon to be followed by Sony sponsorship of Duran Duran. The message was that “Music” is the obvious vehicle through which you can reach young people. It was seen to be a vastly superior medium to television advertising where the kids have the remote control button and are ready to switch off. Concerts were promoted as a medium for entertaining thousands of teenagers for several hours in an environment where product messages could be well presented.

The rest is history.

Photographer Arthur Elgort was known for working with models, but he also photographed The Rolling Stones at
Long View Farm in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, in 1981. The band spent six weeks living and rehearsing on
the property before going on tour that year.

Thanks for the picture. Haven't seen that one before. I noticed Jagger wearing shoes tied with Velcro tape. I didn't think they were around in 1981 already...

Looks like they are walking on a roof.

In the last year, there were additional photos of the Rolling Stones at Long View Farm by Arthur Elgort posted online for the first time.

There's something really funny and charming about the roof photos

Yep
Has a 1966-1968 group photo feel.
Not too many like that after 1970.
That's why this one really is so charming.

That's probably correct. Wish there were more of them later on, but I guess as the band gets smaller it becomes less likely anyway

Yeah, I'm sure Keith Moon climbed outside the building to the 16th floor. More complete bullshit. And landed safely in a pile after falling out the window. More complete and utter bullshit. Remember when he was drunk and broke into a hospital and performed brain surgery on an unsuspecting Chuck Berry? Yeah, me neither.
