Don't know if news of a major discovery has passed me by, but I was somewhat taken aback to read the following Christmas Day listing in the Radio Times:
BBC4 11.00 P.M. Top of the Pops: Christmas Hits
"A feast of festive footage from seasonal editions of the pop show featuring Christmas-themed hits covering six decades, including the first-ever repeat showing of a recently rediscovered 1967 performance by the Rolling Stones."
Assuming the listing is correct, has Ruby Tuesday been found?

They just showed 2000 Light Years From Home as shown on 21/12/1967, but it is not exactly missing performance wise, as it is a straight black and white version with live vocals of this performance: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Mqne5FDnU |

I remember a small section of this - the last verse - being shown (possibly in Granada's "It Was 20 Years Ago Today" or BBCs "Rock 'n' Roll Years", or something similar) in the mid-1980s and I recorded it on VHS, so how recently was this rediscovered?

Was this really known about though?? Clearly not in 2013 when BBC FOUR were compiling 'The Rolling Stones at the BBC'?

Part of it was the Stones' 25x5 documentary that was first shown on genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/f2f7a8526108453aa2ef3319fb641795 and I always thought it was a promotional film, not a Top of the Pops performance, as it is unusual for an album track to be performed on there. |

Thanks David - yes, that would have been the one I was thinking of, and like you I had thought it was an extract from a promo film.

This is the colour promo and it appears to be the same as the TOTP except it being in black and white on TOTP vimeo.com/12246813 |

'2000 Light Years' is listed as a studio performance on the 28/12/1967 edition of TOTP and the film has the appearance of a BBC clip The Stones performed an album track on 'Pop Go the 60's' also not in the usual studio setting |

Pop Goes The Sixties was a show with a Top of the Pops setting but it did not have to be strictly a singles show. It is noticeable that with all the clips from 1967 onwards that The Stones must have just turned up to tape their performances and leave as soon they completed them. They did not have to stay there all day like many other artists have to do. |

It was shot on 1st October, 1967 at Kevin Brownjohn's studio in London at a session for the shooting of promo films. According to the Rolling Stones Database, a sequence for She's a Rainbow was shot at the same session, though it doesn't seem to have surfaced publically as yet. A posting on IORR from 2012 suggests that the Stones themselves were short of a copy, though it did end up being found. However, the only "Official Video" they've put out is a wildly anachronistic cut & paste hack job. EDIT I found a yt posting for what is supposed to be the audio track for this promo. Having never seen the promo, I can't vouch that this is what it says it is: it sounds like an early mix, minus several elements of the released track, just the sort of thing that would be used. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NYNv5heL9k |

Peter Whitehead shot a lot of the stones promo's around this time including the infamous cross dressing version of 'Have you seen your mother baby, standing in the shadows' and 'We Love you' as well as their feature documentary 'Charlie is my Darling' 1965 www.peterwhitehead-fiction.uk/film |

Indeed, Peter Whitehead did ... but not this one. The director in both cases was either Peter Clifton and/or Michael Cooper.

It was a filmed insert, directed by Michael Cooper and you are correct in stating that there was a film made for She's a Rainbow, but it has not turned up yet.
It was shot in black and white and has been colourized in one of the versions that has been seen since.
