Quotenorthof49 Don't know if this is new or not but i haven't seen it before. Excellent footage of the band and especially Nicky, Keith & Mick going through various iterations of the song.

Bert Richards' descendants are a very long way from their roots! Calling West Wittering the "Hamptons of England" is plain bonkers and I suspect may be an invention of the author of the Tatler puff-piece.

QuoteDiamondDog7 Quote24FPS I wonder they've never played Jumping Jack Flash, or Satisfaction for that matter, and Under My Thumb, like their studio versions? The stage production of these songs are too fast, too rock and roll. Satisfaction is usually played like they're trying to get through it fast as possible. There's no jazz swish on UMT like there is on the record between Bria

RIP Mary Quant. From this distance in time it probably seems fanciful to connect a 'mere' clothes designer with what turned out to be a major upheaval in social norms. Many factors were ingredients in what overturned the conservative ways of the 1950's - and Dame Mary's contribution was very significant.

Quoteds1984 The Rooftop Concert still sounds as an oddity to my ears. Can you explain that? To my ears it sounds like 4 very experienced players who genuinely enjoy playing live together doing it well and producing some good songs. I've watched it several times and I reckon I see mutual enjoyment and affection in what's going on on that rooftop.
