Just found a short snippet of the program. Silent, someone's home camera, a little blurry, for a nice chunk of the Stones at the end. What a strange look for them. They look fine but Mick is in the middle, but all three guitarists are stage left of him.
What I found shocking is how together Brian looks. In sharp contrast to what he'll look like in just a few short months. Has it been determined that there's an audio of their two numbers out there? I'd love to hear how this lineup played Jumping Jack Flash, so close to the single's actual release. I know they played it at the Rock and Roll Circus, but Brian was fading at that point and they were exhausted. I'd love to hear how they played JJF when they felt they had something to prove, having been off the road for more than a year.

i don't think there was any professional recording made audio or video
at the request of the stones themselves i believe
this video film to have been shot by someone in the audience
but who knows maybe someone made a recording that hasn't surfaced yet
i'd also be very interested in how jjf sounded with brian in good shape

A segment, at least, of the Stones' performance in '68 was filmed and shown on regional television, I believe. It was the 1966 Poll Winners' whereby both the Beatles and Stones instructed their performances to not be filmed.

The 1968 NME Poll Winners’ is definitely one of the Holy Grail’s. The pictures, alone, are fabulous. This was their first live performance in the U.K. since the 1966 British Tour, which I think ended in the November of that year. I suspect their surprise performance was meant to be signify their ‘comeback’ after all the woes of the preceding year. 1968 and Jumpin’ Jack Flash certainly did signify a new dawning, yet sadly, a certain founding member’s light was dimming.

As far as I'm aware the 1968 Pollwinners show was filmed by Southern TV and if any film exists it will be in the vaults of whoever holds their archive.

I remember watching this on TV at home (we lived in the Southern TV area). If only we'd had some means of recording TV shows in those days!

According to "It's Only R n R..The Ultimate Guide To The Rolling Stones" (Karnbach-Beanson) it was taped May 12,1968 and b'casted in the UK May 18,1968 on "Time For Blackburn" and (on the same date in the UK) "Big Beat '68. Why no copy survives in anyone's guess, I suppose and of course I am only relying on the accuracy of the book.

Why would Mick win this award in 1968 when the Stones were pretty inactive the previous year with all the drug busts going on and no touring except the quick spring tour of Europe?
