The Rolling Stones played there first gig in over a year and it was their only live appearance (R&R circus not included) for another 12 months at the 68 poll winners concert . They did Satisaction and the first ever performance of Jumpin Jack Flash. It was also B.Jones last 'public' performance. I've a strong feeling film doesn't exist of this interesting ditty as I'm sure I would have come across it over the years. Sorry if this has been over before but if anyone outthere knows more about this show please enlighten..

I've only ever seen a still.
I think the tv stations had been pi**ed off by the unions and had stopped showing it by then.

I THINK i'm right in saying that '66 was the last NME event televised. I always wondered about the later years myself and if there are any visual records existing of them (film or video); certainly ABC, who lost their franchise in '68, wouldn't have been involved later on.
That Stones appearance would be very interesting historically and i've wondered if there is a recording of any kind. I've seen two or three photos of their set - nothing more. Anybody else?
By the way, apart from R'n'R Circus, there's also another Stones appearance with Jones existing (b/w VT) on LWT's Frost programme later in '68. Another one of those little gems that seems to slip through the net every time there's a retrospective or anything! If I remember rightly, they did Sympathy For The Devil.

was the frost show with Brian Jones? sh*t I never stopped to think about that...spose it would be if it was 68..what did he do? shake his marrakas? Keith nailed the guitar for that number in the early days.

Yep, Jones is in it as it was Autumn 1968. Never seen the clip myself (would love to tho - has anyone?) although it is one of a handful of Frost shows that managed to survive.

Yes, the live Frost studio performance of “Sympathy for the Devil” shown on LWT in November 1968 still exists, it was shown as part of the Frost compilations on the short lived Granada Talk channel early in 1997. It’s black & white and in reasonably good quality although there are a few occasions when the tape speeds up slightly causing Mick and the band to appear to slur for a few seconds (maybe this is why it hasn‘t been seen very often since, but it‘s really only a very minor glitch).
Brian Jones looks terrible in the few glimpses we get of him, Mick (wearing a very dodgy pair of checked Rupert style trousers) is lit from below giving him a demonic appearance which climaxes with what must rank as his most explicit microphone fellatio stunt of the period (I think he also rips off his shirt to reveal a large felt tip tattoo on his chest as he did on Circus). The band are joined by an African drummer. It’s every bit as riveting as the colour R&RC performance and must have been quite shocking viewing at the time.

Wonder when the rest of us that missed that repeat will get another chance to see it though?
