This was the first of the Stones’ two appearances on TOTP in ‘69, I believe. I’m fact, these backstage shots are from the first appearance, of which, the footage only quite recently surfaced; it’s been posted here on Tell Me before, of course.

Hang on there! Are you saying that footage of the FIRST Stones appearance has been found and a link posted on IORR? I can't find it! Point me to it PLEASE! :-))
AFIK their first appearance was on the very FIRST TOTP and the fact that there are no recordings of that first show (which turned into something more than important) has been bugging many people for a very long time.
WOW!

I’ve always thought this was a snippet from their first-ever TOTP appearance. I’ve never seen the whole sequence available anywhere.

Surprised the pictures featuring Jimmy Saville are up!

On a side note: this may have been the Stones’ final appearance on U.K. television in B&W, as their second appearance on TOTP that year is in colour. Of course, many households had only B&W sets for a good few years to come, I’d imagine.
