Thanks for the link, just finished it, left me wanting more but enjoyed it (as much as one can enjoy some of the more tragic elements).. He's always been my initial gravitation to the Stones

I just have to say this.
The one thing most folks do not understand.
The Rolling Stones would never be what they are today without Brian Jones.

It is a shame he is not recognized for his input to the band.
Look at what we all want to hear as fans........ the music from his era.
The Mick Taylor years were there peak but without Brian those years would not be recognized..

The Stones would have been the exact same juggernaut playing the Jagger/Richards songs in the same stadiums they do today. Wyman leaving changed the band, as did Charlie's passing. Jones and Taylor are mere footnotes in their history.

Just caught this doc on a plane recently. Was a bit disappointed, though I guess there's only so much they can do with the footage they have from back then. Actually shocked how MUCH footage there is of Brian with them. Didn't have cameras all over in 1966, so I guess they make the most of it. Interviews and such were a little lacking. Felt like it doesn't paint an overall picture of him, just a lot of conjecture even though its coming from people associated with him at the time.
Didn't quite give him his due as much as I hoped. For example, I don't think it touches on his beautiful slide guitar work on No Expectations. But it did implore me to seek out those pre Aftermath albums for the first time in awhile, and definitely cool to hear about his contributions and then hear the songs themselves. Mick and Keith kinda needed to take over, but Brian is definitely hugely important to their story. The doc does a decent job portraying that, though definitely needs more of a boost to really be great.

Looks familiar, I think I saw this article in David Dalton’s book (which I no longer have). The book has a list of sources in the back IIRC.

Ok, thanks for confirming I had the author right. Didn’t know he wrote two more.
And I could well be mistaken about the list of sources.
