Ken’s unparalleled knack for capturing a moment quickly paved his way to becoming a respected member of the press community. No story was ever out of reach for him to cover. He could walk into an event without a press pass, and walk out with the next cover of Newsweek or Time. Ken’s career took a path that defied labeling. With such a wide array of assignments thrown his way throughout the 1960’s, Ken learned how to artfully cut to the heart of anything that crossed his lens. He wasn’t specifically a sports photographer, a music photographer, a fashion, or landscape photographer. Ken was a photographer.  Ken’s work has appeared in countless magazines over his vast career, including such esteemed publications as Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, People, Newsweek and Entertainment Weekly, among many others. He’s garnered numerous awards for his work. In the 1970’s, Rolling Stone named Ken as one of their Seven Masters of Photography. Ken’s work has also been exhibited in galleries all over the globe. He’s an author of many books, including such highly regarded titles as Knockout: The Art Of Boxing and All Access: The Rock N’ Roll Photography Of Ken Regan. Ken Regan (June 15, c. 1940s – November 25, 2012) was an American photojournalist from the Bronx, New York City whose reputation for discretion allowed him close connections with subjects including many musicians, politicians and celebrities. He was the official photographer for the Rolling Stones on several tours in the 1970s. He also was the photojournalist on Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue tour in 1975 and the Live Aid concert in 1985.[1][2] Regan was the unofficial personal photographer of Senator Ted Kennedy in the last four decades of Kennedy's life. Regan documented Christopher Reeve’s homecoming from rehabilitation after Reeve's 1995 horse accident which left the actor paralyzed. He photographed local politicians including Meade Esposito.[2] Regan worked with Palace Press Inside Editions on a book called Knockout: The Art of Boxing.[3] He was described by his colleagues as "a big deal".[4] Regan died of cancer in 2012. A spokesperson from his studio declined to release his age calling him "ageless".[5] Ken Regan has been taking photographs professionally for more than 40 years. Movie icons. The Olympics. Foreign conflicts. Ballplayers. Politicians. And rock stars. His new book, All Access: The Rock ’n’ Roll Photography of Ken Regan is an exhaustive, gorgeously composed inside look at some of rock ’n’ roll’s most famous and famously private artists in intimate and outrageous settings. We talked with the New York native about how he got his start, some of his most indelible images, and that time Alice Cooper sat on Santa Claus’s lap. GQ: Where did the idea for this book come from? Ken Regan: Basically, Palace Press Inside Editions, a small publishing company in San Francisco, I did a book with them a couple years ago called Knockout: The Art of Boxing. I’ve done seven or eight books and they did such a beautiful job, and they were anxious after Knockout was out, to do another book with me. They suggested music because I have such a history in music and rock ’n’ roll over the last four decades, so that’s how it came about. GQ: The access and creativity you have here is amazing. How’d you get your start shooting music? WATCH 10 Things 2 Chainz Can't Live Without Ken Regan: I started out very early, at 13 or 14, and I really was wanting to be a photographer and willing and ready to do anything I could to make that happen. I had a love for sports because I was an athlete in school and I also had a love for music. I started doing sports photography and started going to the Fillmore East, which was the place for musicians, a place in the East Village run by Bill Graham, whose name you may or may not know. He was kind of the P.T. Barnum of rock producers in the ’60s, ’70s, right up until the time he died in a helicopter crash in the ’90s. I would, from experience going to the Fillmore on my own without a camera or anything, I’d see the musicians and try to take some photographs. I’d take a camera in under my coat, ’cause there were signs for no photographs, and every time I went in there, Bill Graham would catch me and throw me out. It happened half a dozen times. I started showing my music photographs around, I was just a teenager taking them to Time and Newsweek, it was a challenge seeing people, but it was different back in the day. But there was one photo editor at the New York Times Sunday Magazine, a great old Irish guy who, for whatever reason, took me under his wing, you know he saw me, an Irish kid from the Bronx, and he really wanted to help me, as a lot of people did for my career. So he published one or two of my photos and calls me up one day and said, "Hey Ken, I have an assignment for you." I said "Excuse me? An assignment? You want to send me someplace?" He said, "Yes, I like your work and I want to help you out." I asked, "What is it?" He said, "I don’t know if you can do it or not because it’s on Thanksgiving Day and you know, you probably have family." I said, "Mike, Christmas, New Years, Easter, Thanksgiving. Give me an assignment, I’ll be there. Forgoing any holidays or special occasion. What’s the job?" He said, "On Thanksgiving Day, they have an annual concert and party afterwards at the Fillmore East." I’m going_, Oh my God. Oh My God. Should I tell him Bill Graham hates me? No, I’m not gonna tell him that._ He told me Jefferson Airplane, Johnny Winter would be there and he’d have a credential waiting for me at the box office when I got there, and if there are any problems, he gave me his phone number to call—only in an emergency. I can’t tell you how excited I was. I got to the box office, there was a credential, it said, Ken Regan, photographer, New York Times Sunday Magazine. I go in and start shooting the first act and maybe three songs into the first act, this familiar voice and hand grabs me by the neck and he said, "Are you gonna bust my balls on Thanksgiving day? Get outta here!" I said, "Mr. Graham, look I got a credential! New York Times Sunday Magazine!" He said, "Who gave you that? I’m gonna fire them!" He dragged me out to the box office and said, "Did you give this guy a credential?" They said, "Yes, he’s with the New York Times. They called." He said, "How do I know your friend didn’t call to get you in?" I said, "Listen, Mr. Graham. Here’s Michael O’Keefe’s number. He’s one of the photo editors at the New York Times Sunday Magazine. Call him." He came back five minutes later and said, "Okay, I spoke to him. Just don’t get in my way." I then proceeded to photograph Johnny Winter, Jefferson Airplane, and down in the basement, decorated beyond belief is this beautiful Thanksgiving dinner, where all the artists came and the whole crew and the bands... and me! And I was able to photograph all this. I processed the film the next day in my bathroom and brought it down to Michael O’Keefe two days later and he said, "This looks great! I’ll call ya." He called me back a week later checking captions and things like that, and I said, "Is this gonna appear, really?" He said, "Well anything could change but I’ll let you know." So within three weeks, the _New York Times Sunday Magazine _did a three page spread with my photographs and my name in bold-type. I ran all over the Bronx with that magazine, showed all my friends, brought it to school with me. It was a big, exciting moment in my life, to be published in a magazine with such presence and character. I made some copies of some of the photographs I really liked, put them together with a copy of the magazine and sent them to Bill Graham with a note, saying "Mr. Graham, I really appreciate this, you can’t imagine what it’s done for me and what it may do for my career. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Months go by. I didn’t hear from the guy. I go, what a prick! He doesn’t even have the courtesy to thank me, I made these prints on my own! I’m at home one night, four months later, doing my homework and my mom comes in, she said, "There’s a phone call for you." I said, "Who is it?" She said, "Well he said his name is Bill Graham. I don’t think it’s the preacher ’cause he sounded really gruff." Knowing who it was, I answered the phone and said, "Mr. Graham, what’s the matter?" He said, "Listen, thank you for sending me the magazine. It looked great. You’re the first photographer on his own to send me photographs. I can’t tell you how nice that was, what a gesture it was on your part. Anytime you wanna come back to the Fillmore East, you call me. Here’s my private number. No matter who the act is, you call me." For the rest of my career, Bill became my surrogate brother and opened up doors to Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, whoever I wanted to photograph. Click to subscribe GQ: Making prints like that, is that an unusual practice in the field? Ken Regan: Yes. Very. [laughs] I don’t think that people did that and it’s something I did for the rest of my career. Whether it was the Kennedy family or Colin Powell or the Rolling Stones, I always sent a thank you note with photographs. Rock's Back Pages with Photographer Ken Regan GQ: Could you tell me about the stories behind them? We have a few of Bob Dylan, particularly in that Rolling Thunder Revue/Renaldo and Clara era. It looks like you spent a lot of time with him. Can you tell me how that came to be? Ken Regan: Well, again, it came to be because of Bill Graham. I started to work for some of the magazines and Time called me up and said, "We’d like to do a story on Bob Dylan, he’s doing a tour with his band and it’s apparently his last tour with the Band." I said, "I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it, Bob is very private, he had that motorcycle accident, he’s only come back to play again in the last year or two, but I’ll try." I call Bill Graham up, told him Time was interested in doing a story on Bob and the Band, and did he think he could get access for me? He said, "Bob is difficult but let me try." He called me back two weeks later, and said, "I showed Bob some of the photos you did, and he said fine." So Time sent me to Chicago, Bill was there, he introduced me to Keri Weintraub and David Geffen and all these people, I go, my God! This is amazing. Then I meet Bob, who’s nice, and he said he liked my photographs, just don’t get in my way, take all the photos you want of the audience onstage, but none backstage. I said fine. The first night, I was in the wings on the stage, moving around, trying not to get in his eye line and it was a great experience. I always like doing something different, so I like photographing the reaction of the audiences. There was a woman in the second row in her 60s with grey hair and glasses jumping up and down, applauding and clapping, and it was a wonderful photo because she was surrounded by all these young kids. I met Bill the second night and he said, "Bob didn’t say a word so it looks like you’re okay." I said, "Bill I got a question. The woman in the second row, grey hair... she was terrific." He said, "You photographed her? That’s Bob’s mother. Whatever you do, don’t ever release those photos because if you ever want to see Bob again, it won’t happen." The second concert, I photograph her again, and Time ran a spread of the photographs after the concert, and I was thrilled, it was my second big publication in terms of a spread. Like I’ve always done, I made up some prints for Bob and the ones of his mom. Bill said he’d send them along. That was my first experience one-on-one with Bob, I photographed him at Forest Hills when he got booed off the stage. A year goes by, I’m home sleeping and it’s 3 in the morning, and the phone rings and it’s Barry Imhoff who was Bill Graham’s partner. Barry said, "Hey Ken! How are ya! I" said, "Ken! It’s 3 in the morning, I’m sleeping! You people in California don’t realize the time difference." He said, "No, I’m in New York. I wanted to see what you’re doing in the next couple of months." I said, "I don’t know, I’m working for all these magazines. What’s up?" He said, "Well Bill and I are putting together this little tour and were wondering if you were interested in working with us." I said, "Tell me something about it." He said, "Just a second, I wanna put someone on the phone." So this guy gets on the phone and says his name is Louie Kemp, Bob Dylan’s boyhood friend, they grew up in Minnesota, he runs a company called Kemp Fisheries. I’m like, it’s 3am. What is going on here? He said, "I’m co-promoting a tour with Barry and Bill that Bob Dylan’s gonna do." I went speechless. He said, "We’re interested in meeting with you and having you do the entire tour." I said, Mr. Kemp, can I speak to Barry a second? I said, "Barry, if this is a fucking joke, I’m gonna hunt you down and take you apart completely." He said, it’s no joke! There was a pause and someone picks up the phone, and I recognize the voice instantly, it was Bob Dylan. He said, "Ken I’m sorry to wake you this early in the morning, we were rehearsing all day and didn’t realize what time it was. I’ve seen your photographs and by the way, I want to thank you quite a bit for sending me those photos, especially the ones of my mom that you didn’t release, and it gave me a sense of immediate trust with you. We’d like to meet with you. Can you bring your portfolio?" I said, "Now? I’ll come over now!" He said, no, tomorrow was fine. So I went over to S.I.R. where they were rehearsing and met with Bob and Louie and Barry and we chatted for about a half hour and Bob said, I want you to do this tour. This is very unusual because I’ve never done this before. We’ll be on the road for almost three months. Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, David Mansfield, T-Bone Burnett, and a lot of guest appearances from various artists we haven’t reached out to yet. We’re doing a film called Renaldo and Clara, which I’m directing, and I want you to photograph everything that happens 24/7. You’ll have complete access. No one will be allowed to take any photographs but you. He said, "We’ll start rehearsals in a week, we open Halloween Night in Plymouth, Massachusetts and we finish at Madison Square Garden in mid-December." In that period of time, Sean, I took 13,750 photographs. Every night, Bob and I after the show or a party would sit down and he would go through all the contact sheets and when we were finished, we’d have to project the color, and he’d say yay-nay. We had no signed contract, this was just a handshake. That’s what we did every single day. He approved some, others he didn’t, he’d kill them or save them, but they were definitely out. As the tour started, it got great interest, I was getting calls from People, Time, Rolling Stone, and I told Bob I was getting all these inquiries. He said, I figured that would happen. You pick what you want for each of the magazines, run them by me, and we’ll give them each something exclusive. And that was a big breakthrough for me in magazines, because it was an exclusive with Bob Dylan and it opened a lot of doors. **GQ: ** They’re just not shots you typically see of Bob. Ken Regan: It started a relationship with Bob and I that lasted for almost 30 years. GQ: Tell me about spending time with Mick Jagger. I’m looking at a shot of him with Andy Warhol. Ken Regan: That was at the Factory. I was doing a cover story and an essay on Mick for one of the British publications. He lived in New York in a beautiful townhouse on the west side. We started there and Mick is an avid workout person, he works out every day. His trainer was there, we did a whole series of pictures of him working out, running on Riverside Park, and he said, "Let’s walk through the city." We went all over the place. Every time I saw something I thought might be a good photo, we stopped and it was great. He’s great, very cooperative. He said, "Hey! Wanna go to Warhol’s?" And we went down to the Factory, Andy was there, and they were kidding around with the camera, and we took some photographs. It was unusual, and one of my last big shoots with Bob Dylan was to be for a cover of Time in 2001, I had been in Anguilla, I was flying all night long, got to the city, met my assistant, went out to Telluride—I was flying for 18 hours. I got to the hotel at about 11 o’clock, got a room, went to sleep. There’s a knock on the door and it’s 12. I go to the door and it’s Bob. He said, "I’m so glad you could make it and do this cover. This is the town where Butch and Sundance hung out. They got a bar here. Do you want to walk around for a while?" I said sure. I grabbed a couple cameras, go to the lobby, Bob’s waiting, and we walked along the town. We did photographs. People were coming out of the stores, asking if Eric Clapton was going to be there, Bob said, "I don’t know!" We went to the bars, and then to a cemetery. There’s a picture of Bob sitting in this old cemetery with a dog, he used to pick up dogs all the time, he had a fondness for animals. It’s a wonderful photograph. We go to the concert that night, and he was shaking hands with people, very not Bob Dylan. He said, "Listen right after the show, I want you to come ride with me in my camper to Arizona." I said, "Great." Thinking, I’m still not gonna get any sleep. But we had to meet at the trailer right after the encore. One of his assistants at the trailer said, "Hey! Bob needs you backstage. I don’t know what’s up but he’s told everyone to find you." So I go backstage, he said well, we have a surprise guest. Norman Schwarzkopf. He said, "Norman Schwarzkopf was in the audience and asked to come meet with me." I’ve done a number of wars and this was an unlikely pair. He had his assistant get a white hat for him, and Schwarzkopf comes back, and there’s pro-war and anti-war, and he came to Bob and said, ’I’ve been a fan of yours for 25 years and the most prolific song written in the 20th century was ’The Times They Are A-Changin’.’ We took all these photographs, none of which have ever been seen. GQ: How much are you shooting these days? Ken Regan: In the mid ’90s, the whole change was starting to happen, not just technically, but photojournalism, which I pride myself on being a photojournalist, I’ve done a lot of work on wars, riots, politics, etc. I saw it coming to an end in the mid ’90s, because magazines didn’t have to send... it was maybe 12, 15 of us... who they could send to Russia, the Middle East, Columbia, on assignment. Costly, but they knew they’d get what they wanted. Once digital happened, they could hire people in different parts of the world. And because it was digital, they could correct in Photoshop. So I tried many different things, my career is very diversified. I thought, I won’t be able to make a living at this, so I did ad work and corporate work in film and television. My big plus in film was Jonathan Demme. We hit it off, I’ve done every one of his films since Married to the Mob, with the exception of Rachel Getting Married. GQ: Do you miss it? Ken Regan: I did eleven Winter and Summer Olympics. Every time I turn on the television and see a demonstration on the Brooklyn Bridge or Egypt, it just tears my heart out. The Rolling Thunder tour is my most memorable shoot. It was a first and I don’t think you ever saw that happen again and you never will. I don’t know if you know this but I did a book with Sam Shepard, who was also on tour with us, that came out a year after the tour was over. The tour started with many different factions to it, Bob wanted to do a film. He hired Marlon Brando to direct it and Sam to write the screenplay. Things didn’t work out between Bob and Marlon, so he directed the film himself and Sam wrote the screenplay. The film turned out to be Renaldo and Clara, which, when it was released, was five hours. Bob wanted seven hours. Sam and I hit it off and became friends and he called me up and said, since I proposed to do a big coffee table book because of the access I knew I was going to have, and I talked to Sam about writing the text, and Random House pulled the plug at the end of the day because it was going to be too expensive to do. So we found another publishing company and did a smaller version, which we didn’t like a lot, the paper in reproduction was like toilet paper. I’ve worked with him on a number of films, on A Fair Game most recently, it was 2004. I had never done an exhibit before and I’d been asked and asked and asked. I’m a private person so I’ve never had any desire to do anything but work. People kept pushing me. We get a call from a small publishing company and they wanted to re-release the book on Rolling Thunder. I said, "Jesus, it looks so bad why would you want to do that?" And they said it was selling for $500 on eBay. I said, you’re kidding! We did the revised version of the book and T-Bone Burnett wrote the afterword. This gallery heard about the book said, you’ve got all these pictures of Dylan and the book coming out, why don’t you do an exhibition? I asked Sam if he’d come up for the opening, and he said he would but he wouldn’t sign any books. I’ll tell you one more quick story. I don’t know if you ever saw the live album of Rolling Thunder. There’s a picture of Bob on the cover with the hat and scarf. Well, when were going through all the images every single night, we came across this picture and there was a front shot and two profiles, split second it happened in the dressing room. Three or four nights later, Bob looked at this photograph and said, "Ken, this is the best picture ever taken of me. I really mean that." I said, "Well gee, thanks Bob." For 25 years, I always ran photos by Jeff Rosen, who represented Bob. I can’t tell you how many times I tried to have this picture used for everything from being honored at the Kennedy center to the Academy Awards, it was always no. He wanted to save it. Finally, I said to Jeff Rosen, what do you want to save it for, his obit? A couple years later, Jeff called me up and said Bob wanted to use the photograph on the live album from Rolling Thunder If you've been around longer than me, perhaps you were already familiar with Ken Regan's photography. I'll admit: I didn't discover him until just the other day, under somber circumstances. A colleague forwarded this obituary in Rolling Stone, advising simply: "He's a big deal." The music photographer died of cancer one week ago. Photographer Ken Regan with the Rolling Stones, 1977 Courtesy of Ken Regan/Camera 5 All Access The Rock 'n' Roll Photography of Ken Regan by Ken Regan, Jim Jerome, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and James Taylor Hardcover, 288 pages purchase So I got a hold of his book, All Access, which was published one year ago this month; and after only a few minutes with his photos, I was enamored. I pored over his first-person anecdotes: Stories of his first important shoot — with Elvis Presley, who had just returned from Army service in Germany; of catching Leonard Bernstein plugging his ears at a Beatles concert; of accidentally drinking hallucinogenic punch backstage at a Rolling Stones concert; of his exclusive access to one of Bob Dylan's tours. Granted, there's no shortage of Rolling Stones photos in the world. But how often does Mick Jagger write personal book introductions for photographers? "As Ken would accompany us on our tours, it just so happened that I would end up accompanying him on his gigs as well," Jagger writes. Regan's reputation was such that, with his kind of access, even the Rolling Stones would call on him for favors. Article continues after sponsor message There's too much to say and too little space here, so I'll leave you with Regan's photos, captioned in his own words from the book. I didn't know him personally, and regret that I missed the chance to ask him about his experiences. But the beautiful thing about being a photographer is that you're not just a witness to your time, but you also leave behind a visual legacy of your life. Photographer Ken Regan, best known for his iconic images of Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and Jimi Hendrix, died of cancer on November 25th, Rolling Stone has confirmed. A spokesperson for his studio declined to give Regan’s age, calling him “ageless.” A native of the Bronx, New York, Regan logged countless hours on the road with rock stars, shooting the Beatles on their 1965 tour, Hendrix at the Fillmore East in 1968, Springsteen on the Amnesty International tour in 1988 and Neil Young at the Ryman Auditorium in 2005. He also photographed the Concert For Bangladesh in 1971, the Last Waltz in 1976 and Live Aid in 1985. In 1975, Regan toured with the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Review, shooting thousands of pictures along the way. “Many times I’ve been onstage only to see Ken’s beady left eye drilling through me with that wry grin under his camera and know he’s got the shot he was after,” Keith Richards wrote in the preface to Regan’s 2011 book, All Access: the Rock & Roll Photography of Ken Regan. “I know a lot of photographers and they all have a personal style. When I see Ken in front of me, I know what he’s waiting for . . . the moment!“ The Rock & Roll Photography of Ken Regan Regan had a knack for capturing private scenes offstage: Andy Warhol hanging out with Mick Jagger at the Factory in 1977; Bob Dylan meeting Bruce Springsteen for the first time backstage at a show in 1975; and a shirtless Dylan playing backgammon that same year. One of his Dylan shots was used on the cover of The Bootleg Series Vol. 5: Bob Dylan Live 1975; another was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone’s June 21st, 1984 issue. RELATED Woodstock 50: Jay Z, The Killers, Dead and Co Woodstock 50 Details Full Lineup With Jay-Z, Dead & Company, Killers RS Daily News: ‘Toy Story 4;’ Jack the Ripper Identified; Lil Keed’s ‘Move It’ Regan also spent years covering the sports world, and his Muhammed Ali photographs have been widely reproduced. In 1975, he photographed Ali and George Foreman’s famous Rumble in the Jungle match in Zaire and landed a photo on the cover of Sports Illustrated. More recently, Regan had turned his attention to documenting film shoots. He worked with Clint Eastwood on the Bridges of Madison County, Jonathan Demme on Silence of the Lambs and Alana Pakula on The Pelican Brief. Regan continued to work until he was sidelined by illness earlier this year.

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. The first stable line-up consisted of Brian Jones (multi-instrumentalist), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica, occasional guitar and keyboards), Keith Richards (guitar, bass, keyboards, backing vocals), Bill Wyman (bass), Charlie Watts (drums), and Ian Stewart (piano). Stewart was removed from the official line-up in 1963 but continued to work with the band as a contracted musician until his death in 1985. Brian Jones was the original leader of the group. The band's primary songwriters, Jagger and Richards, assumed leadership after Andrew Loog Oldham became the group's manager. Jones left the band less than a month before his death in 1969, having already been replaced by Mick Taylor, who remained until 1974. After Taylor left the band, Ronnie Wood took his place in 1975 and continues on guitar in tandem with Richards. Following Wyman's departure in 1993, Darryl Jones was contracted by the band to play bass. Since 1963, the Stones have not had a keyboardist as a member of the band, but have had long working relationships with Jack Nitzsche (1965–1971), Nicky Hopkins (1967–1982), Billy Preston (1971–1981), Ian McLagan (1978–1981), and Chuck Leavell (1982–present). The Rolling Stones were at the forefront of the British Invasion of bands that became popular in the United States in 1964 and were identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s. Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, the band started out playing covers but found more success with their own material; songs such as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "Paint It Black" became international hits. After a short period of experimentation with psychedelic rock in the mid-1960s, the group returned to its "bluesy" roots with Beggars Banquet (1968), which along with its follow-ups Let It Bleed (1969), Sticky Fingers (1971) and Exile on Main St. (1972), is generally considered to be the band's best work and is seen as their "Golden Age." It was during this period they were first introduced on stage as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World."[1][2] The band continued to release commercially successful albums through the 1970s and early 1980s, including Some Girls (1978) and Tattoo You (1981), the two best-sellers in their discography. The Stones released Steel Wheels (1989), promoted by a large stadium and arena tour. Since the 1990s, new material has been less frequent. Despite this, the Rolling Stones continue to be a huge attraction on the live circuit. By 2007, the band had four of the top five highest-grossing concert tours of all time: Voodoo Lounge Tour (1994–1995), Bridges to Babylon Tour (1997–1998), Licks Tour (2002–2003) and A Bigger Bang (2005–2007).[3] Musicologist Robert Palmer attributes the endurance of the Rolling Stones to their being "rooted in traditional verities, in rhythm-and-blues and soul music", while "more ephemeral pop fashions have come and gone".[4] The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them fourth on the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" list and their estimated record sales are above 250 million. They have released 30 studio albums, 23 live albums and numerous compilations. Let It Bleed (1969) marked the first of five consecutive No. 1 studio and live albums in the UK. Sticky Fingers (1971) was the first of eight consecutive No. 1 studio albums in the US. In 2008, the band ranked 10th on the Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists chart. In 2012, the band celebrated its 50th anniversary.

A musical partnership began shortly afterwards.[9][10] Richards and Taylor often met Jagger at his house. The meetings moved to Taylor's house in late 1961 where Alan Etherington and Bob Beckwith joined the trio; the quintet called themselves the Blues Boys.[11] In March 1962, the Blues Boys read about the Ealing Jazz Club in Jazz News newspaper, which mentioned Alexis Korner's rhythm and blues band, Blues Incorporated. The group sent a tape of their best recordings to Korner, who was favourably impressed.[12] On 7 April, they visited the Ealing Jazz Club where they met the members of Blues Incorporated, who included slide guitarist Brian Jones, keyboardist Ian Stewart and drummer Charlie Watts.[12] After a meeting with Korner, Jagger and Richards started jamming with the group.[12] Jones, no longer in a band, advertised for bandmates in Jazz Weekly, while Stewart found them a practice space;[13] together they decided to form a band playing Chicago blues. Soon after, Jagger, Taylor and Richards left Blues Incorporated to join Jones and Stewart. The first rehearsal included guitarist Geoff Bradford and vocalist Brian Knight, both of whom decided not to join the band. They objected to playing the Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley songs preferred by Jagger and Richards.[14] In June 1962 the addition of the drummer Tony Chapman completed the line-up of Jagger, Richards, Jones, Stewart and Taylor. According to Richards, Jones named the band during a phone call to Jazz News. When asked by a journalist for the band's name, Jones saw a Muddy Waters LP lying on the floor; one of the tracks was "Rollin' Stone".[15][16] 1962–1964: Building a following The back room of what was the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond, London where the Rolling Stones had their first residency in 1963 Jones, Jagger, Richards, Stewart, and Taylor played a gig billed as "the Rollin' Stones" on 12 July 1962, at the Marquee Club in London.[17][18][a] Shortly afterwards, the band went on their first tour of the UK, which they called a "training ground" tour, because it was a new experience for all of them. Their material included the Chicago blues as well as Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley songs.[21] The band's original rhythm section did not include bassist Bill Wyman, who joined in December 1962, or drummer Charlie Watts, who joined in January 1963.[22][23] By 1963 they were finding their musical stride as well as popularity.[24] In 1964 two unscientific opinion polls rated the band as Britain's most popular group, outranking even the Beatles.[25] The band's name was changed shortly after their first gig to "The Rolling Stones".[26][27] The group's then acting manager, Giorgio Gomelsky, secured a Sunday afternoon residency at the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond, London, in February 1963.[28] He claimed this triggered an "international renaissance for the blues".[29] In May 1963, The Rolling Stones signed Andrew Loog Oldham as their manager.[30] His previous clients, the Beatles directed the former publicist to the band.[31][18] Because Oldham was only nineteen and had not reached the age of majority—he was also younger than anyone in the band—he could not obtain an agent's licence or sign any contracts without his mother co-signing.[31] By necessity he joined with booking agent Eric Easton[32] to secure record financing and assistance booking venues.[33] Gomelsky, who had no written agreement with the band, was not consulted.[34] Initially, Oldham tried applying the strategy used by Brian Epstein, the Beatles' manager and have the band members wear suits. He later changed his mind and imagined a band which contrasted with the Beatles, featuring unmatched clothing, long hair, and an unclean appearance. He wanted to make the Stones "a raunchy, gamy, unpredictable bunch of undesirables" and to "establish that the Stones were threatening, uncouth and animalistic".[35] Stewart left the official line-up, but remained road manager and touring keyboardist. Of Stewart's decision, Oldham later said, "Well, he just doesn't look the part, and six is too many for [fans] to remember the faces in the picture."[36] Later, Oldham reduced the band members' ages in publicity material to make them appear as teenagers.[37] Decca Records, which had declined to sign a deal with the Beatles, gave the Rolling Stones a recording contract with favourable terms.[38] The band got three times a new act's typical royalty rate, full artistic control of recordings and ownership of the recording master tapes.[39][40] The deal also let the band use non-Decca recording studios. Regent Sound Studios, a mono facility equipped with egg boxes on the ceiling for sound treatment, became their preferred location.[41][42] Oldham, who had no recording experience but made himself the band's producer, said Regent had a sound that "leaked, instrument-to-instrument, the right way" creating a "wall of noise" that worked well for the band.[40][43] Because of Regent's low booking rates, the band could record for extended periods rather than the usual three-hour blocks common at other studios. All tracks on the first Rolling Stones album, The Rolling Stones, were recorded there.[44][45] Oldham contrasted the Rolling Stones' independence with the Beatles' obligation to record in EMI's studios, saying it made them appear as "mere mortals ... sweating in the studio for the man".[46] He promoted the Rolling Stones as the nasty counterpoint to the Beatles by having the band pose unsmiling on the cover of their first album. He also encouraged the press to use provocative headlines such as: "Would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone?"[47][48] By contrast, Wyman says, "Our reputation and image as the Bad Boys came later, completely there, accidentally. ... [Oldham] never did engineer it. He simply exploited it exhaustively."[49] In a 1972 interview, Wyman stated, "We were the first pop group to break away from the whole Cliff Richard thing where the bands did little dance steps, wore identical uniforms and had snappy patter."[50] A cover version of Chuck Berry's "Come On" was the Rolling Stones' first single, released on 7 June 1963. The band refused to play it at live gigs,[51] and Decca bought only one ad to promote the record. With Oldham's direction, fan-club members bought copies at record shops polled by the charts,[52] helping "Come On" rise to No. 21 on the UK Singles Chart.[53] Having a charting single gave the band entree to play outside London, starting with a booking at the Outlook Club in Middlesbrough on 13 July, sharing the billing with The Hollies.[54][b] Later in 1963 Oldham and Easton arranged the band's first big UK concert tour as a supporting act for American stars including Bo Diddley, Little Richard and the Everly Brothers. The tour gave the band the opportunity to hone their stagecraft.[40][56][57] During the tour the band recorded their second single, a Lennon–McCartney-penned number entitled "I Wanna Be Your Man".[58] The song was written and given to the Stones when John Lennon and Paul McCartney visited them in the studio as the two Beatles liked giving the copyrights to songs away to their friends. It reached No. 12 on the UK charts.[59] The Beatles 1963 album, With the Beatles, includes their version of the song.[60] The third single by the Stones, Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away", reflecting Bo Diddley's style, was released in February 1964 and reached No. 3.[61] Oldham saw little future for an act that lost significant songwriting royalties by playing songs of what he described as "middle-aged blacks", limiting the appeal to teenage audiences. Jagger and Richards decided to write songs together. Oldham described the first batch as "soppy and imitative".[62] Because the band's songwriting developed slowly, songs on their first album The Rolling Stones (1964; issued in the US as England's Newest Hit Makers), were primarily covers, with only one Jagger/Richards original—"Tell Me (You're Coming Back)"—and two numbers credited to Nanker Phelge, the pen name used for songs written by the entire group.[63] The Rolling Stones' first US tour in June 1964 was "a disaster" according to Wyman. When we arrived, we didn't have a hit record [there] or anything going for us."[64] When the band appeared on the variety show The Hollywood Palace, that week's guest host, Dean Martin, mocked both their hair and their performance.[65] During the tour they recorded for two days at Chess Studios in Chicago, meeting many of their most important influences, including Muddy Waters.[66][67] These sessions included what would become the Rolling Stones' first No. 1 hit in the UK, their cover version of Bobby and Shirley Womack's "It's All Over Now".[68] The Stones followed the Famous Flames, featuring James Brown, in the theatrical release of the 1964 film T.A.M.I. Show, which showcased American acts with British Invasion artists. According to Jagger, "We weren't actually following James Brown because there was considerable time between the filming of each section. Nevertheless, he was still very annoyed about it ..."[69] On 25 October the band appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. Because of the pandemonium surrounding the Stones, Sullivan banned them from his show.[70] However, he booked them for an appearance in the following year.[71][72][not in citation given] Their second LP, 12 X 5, which was only available in the US, was released during the tour.[73] During the early Stones' releases, Richards was typically credited as "Richard".[74][75][76] The Rolling Stones' fifth UK single, a cover of Willie Dixon's "Little Red Rooster"—with "Off the Hook", credited to Nanker Phelge, as the B-side—was released in November 1964 and became their second No. 1 hit in the UK.[61] The band's US distributors, London Records, declined to release "Little Red Rooster" as a single. In December 1964, the distributor released the band's first single with Jagger/Richards originals on both sides: "Heart of Stone", with "What a Shame" as the B-side; the single went to No. 19 in the US.[77] 1965–1967: Height of fame The band's second UK LP, The Rolling Stones No. 2, was released in January 1965 and reached No. 1 on the charts. The US version, released in February as The Rolling Stones, Now!, reached No. 5. The album was recorded at Chess Studios in Chicago and RCA Studios in Los Angeles.[78] In January and February that year the band played 34 shows for around 100,000 people in Australia and New Zealand.[79] The single "The Last Time", released in February, was the first Jagger/Richards composition to reach No. 1 on the UK charts;[61] it reached No. 9 in the US. It was later identified by Richards as "the bridge into thinking about writing for the Stones. It gave us a level of confidence; a pathway of how to do it."[80] Their first international No. 1 hit was "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", recorded in May 1965 during the band's third North American tour. Richards recorded the guitar riff that drives the song with a fuzzbox as a scratch track to guide a horn section. Nevertheless, the final cut was without the planned horn overdubs. Issued in the summer of 1965, it was their fourth UK No. 1 and their first in the US where it spent four weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. It was a worldwide commercial success for the band.[80][81] The US version of the LP Out of Our Heads, released in July 1965, also went to No 1; it included seven original songs, three Jagger/Richards numbers and four credited to Nanker Phelge.[82] Their second international No. 1 single "Get Off of My Cloud" was released in the autumn of 1965,[72] followed by another US-only LP, December's Children.[83] A black and white trade ad for the 1965 Rolling Stones' North American tour.

From left: The front row contains Brian Jones, Bill Wyman; the second row contains Charlie Watts and Keith Richards; the third (and final) row contains Mick Jagger. A trade ad for the 1965 Rolling Stones' North American tour The album Aftermath, released in the late spring of 1966, was the first LP to be composed entirely of Jagger/Richards songs;[84] it reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 in the US.[85] On this album Jones' contributions expanded beyond guitar and harmonica. To the Middle Eastern-influenced "Paint It, Black"[c] he added sitar; to the ballad "Lady Jane" he added dulcimer and to "Under My Thumb" he added marimbas. Aftermath also contained "Goin' Home", a nearly 12-minute-long song that included elements of jamming and improvisation.[86] The Stones' success on the British and American singles charts peaked during the 1960s.[87][88] "19th Nervous Breakdown"[89] was released in February 1966, and reached No. 2 in the UK[90] and US charts;[91] "Paint It, Black" reached No. 1 in the UK and US in May 1966.[61][88] "Mother's Little Helper", released in June 1966, reached No. 8 in the US;[91] it was one of the first pop songs to discuss the issue of prescription drug abuse.[92][93] "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" was released in September 1966 and reached No. 5 in the UK[94] and No. 9 in the US.[91] It had a number of firsts for the group: it was the first Stones recording to feature brass horns and the back-cover photo on the original US picture sleeve depicted the group satirically dressed in drag. The song was accompanied by one of the first official music videos, directed by Peter Whitehead.[95][96] January 1967 saw the release of Between the Buttons, which reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 2 in the US. It was Andrew Oldham's last venture as the Rolling Stones' producer. Allen Klein took over his role as the band's manager in 1965. Richards recalled, "There was a new deal with Decca to be made ... and he said he could do it."[97] The US version included the double A-side single "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday",[98] which went to No. 1 in the US and No. 3 in the UK. When the band went to New York to perform the numbers on The Ed Sullivan Show in January, they were ordered to change the lyrics of the refrain of "Let's Spend the Night Together" to "let's spend some time together".[99][100] In early 1967, Jagger, Richards and Jones began to be hounded by authorities over their recreational drug use, after News of the World ran a three-part feature entitled "Pop Stars and Drugs: Facts That Will Shock You".[101] The series described alleged LSD parties hosted by The Moody Blues attended by top stars including The Who's Pete Townshend and Cream's Ginger Baker, and alleged admissions of drug use by leading pop musicians. The first article targeted Donovan (who was raided and charged soon after); the second instalment (published on 5 February) targeted the Rolling Stones.[102] A reporter who contributed to the story spent an evening at the exclusive London club Blaise's, where a member of the Rolling Stones allegedly took several Benzedrine tablets, displayed a piece of hashish and invited his companions back to his flat for a "smoke". The article claimed this was Mick Jagger, but it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity; the reporter had in fact been eavesdropping on Brian Jones. Two days after the article was published Jagger filed a writ for libel against the News of the World.[103][102] A week later on 12 February, Sussex police, tipped off by the paper, which had been tipped off by his chauffeur[104] raided a party at Keith Richards' home, Redlands. No arrests were made at the time, but Jagger, Richards and their friend art dealer Robert Fraser were subsequently charged with drug offences. Andrew Oldham was afraid of being arrested and fled to America.[105][106] Richards said in 2003, "When we got busted at Redlands, it suddenly made us realize that this was a whole different ball game and that was when the fun stopped. Up until then it had been as though London existed in a beautiful space where you could do anything you wanted."[107] On the treatment of the man responsible for the raid, he later added: "As I heard it, he never walked the same again."[104] In March 1967, while awaiting the consequences of the police raid, Jagger, Richards and Jones took a short trip to Morocco, accompanied by Marianne Faithfull, Jones' girlfriend Anita Pallenberg and other friends. During this trip the stormy relations between Jones and Pallenberg deteriorated to the point that she left Morocco with Richards.[108] Richards said later: "That was the final nail in the coffin with me and Brian. He'd never forgive me for that and I don't blame him, but hell, shit happens."[109] Richards and Pallenberg would remain a couple for twelve years. Despite these complications, the Rolling Stones toured Europe in March and April 1967. The tour included the band's first performances in Poland, Greece, and Italy.[110] On 10 May 1967, the day Jagger, Richards and Fraser were arraigned in connection with the Redlands charges, Jones' house was raided by police. He was arrested and charged with possession of cannabis.[99] Three of the five Stones now faced drug charges. Jagger and Richards were tried at the end of June. Jagger received a three-month prison sentence for the possession of four amphetamine tablets; Richards was found guilty of allowing cannabis to be smoked on his property and sentenced to a year in prison.[111][112] Both Jagger and Richards were imprisoned at that point but were released on bail the next day pending appeal.[113] The Times ran the famous editorial entitled "Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?" in which conservative editor William Rees-Mogg surprised his readers by his unusually critical discourse on the sentencing, pointing out that Jagger had been treated far more harshly for a minor first offence than "any purely anonymous young man".[114] While awaiting the appeal hearings, the band recorded a new single, "We Love You", as a thank you for their fans' loyalty. It began with the sound of prison doors closing, and the accompanying music video included allusions to the trial of Oscar Wilde.[115][116][117] On 31 July, the appeals court overturned Richards' conviction, and reduced Jagger's sentence to a conditional discharge.[118] Jones' trial took place in November 1967. In December, after appealing the original prison sentence, Jones received a £1,000 fine and was put on three years' probation, with an order to seek professional help.[119] The band released Their Satanic Majesties Request, which reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 2 in the US, in December 1967. It drew unfavourable reviews and was widely regarded as a poor imitation of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.[120][121] Satanic Majesties was recorded while Jagger, Richards and Jones were awaiting their court cases. The band parted ways with Oldham during the sessions. The split was publicly amicable,[122] but in 2003 Jagger said: "The reason Andrew left was because he thought that we weren't concentrating and that we were being childish. It was not a great moment really—and I would have thought it wasn't a great moment for Andrew either. There were a lot of distractions and you always need someone to focus you at that point, that was Andrew's job."[99] Satanic Majesties became the first album the Rolling Stones produced on their own. Its psychedelic sound was complemented by the cover art, which featured a 3D photo by Michael Cooper, who had also photographed the cover of Sgt. Pepper. Bill Wyman wrote and sang a track on the album: "In Another Land", also released as a single, the first on which Jagger did not sing lead.[123] 1968–1972: "Golden Age" Keith Richards, 1972 The band spent the first few months of 1968 working on material for their next album. Those sessions resulted in the song "Jumpin' Jack Flash", released as a single in May. The subsequent album, Beggars Banquet, an eclectic mix of country and blues-inspired tunes, marked the band's return to their roots. It was also the beginning of their collaboration with producer Jimmy Miller. It featured the lead single "Street Fighting Man" (which addressed the political upheavals of May 1968) and "Sympathy for the Devil".[124][125] Controversy over the design of the album cover, which featured a public toilet with graffiti covering the walls of a stall, delayed the album's release for nearly six months.[126] It was well received at the time of release and reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 5 in the US. Richards said of the album: There is a change between material on Satanic Majesties and Beggars Banquet. I'd grown sick to death of the whole Maharishi guru shit and the beads and bells. Who knows where these things come from, but I guess [the music] was a reaction to what we'd done in our time off and also that severe dose of reality. A spell in prison ... will certainly give you room for thought ... I was fucking pissed with being busted. So it was, 'Right we'll go and strip this thing down.' There's a lot of anger in the music from that period.[127] The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, which originally began as an idea about "the new shape of the rock-and-roll concert tour", was filmed at the end of 1968.[18] It featured John Lennon, Yoko Ono, the Dirty Mac, the Who, Jethro Tull, Marianne Faithfull, and Taj Mahal. The footage was shelved for twenty-eight years but was finally released officially in 1996,[128] with a DVD version released in October 2004.[129] By the time of Beggars Banquet's release, Brian Jones was only sporadically contributing to the band. Jagger said that Jones was "not psychologically suited to this way of life".[130] His drug use had become a hindrance, and he was unable to obtain a US visa. Richards reported that in a June meeting with Jagger, Watts and himself at Jones' house, Jones admitted that he was unable to "go on the road again", and left the band saying, "I've left, and if I want to I can come back."[10] On 3 July 1969, less than a month later, Jones drowned under mysterious circumstances in the swimming pool at his home, Cotchford Farm, in Hartfield, East Sussex.[131] Several guitarists were auditioned as a replacement for Jones including Paul Kossoff [132] before settling on Mick Taylor following a recommendation from John Mayall to Jagger. Mick Taylor (pictured in 1972) is, in part, responsible for the Stones' new sound in the early 1970s. Replacing Brian Jones in 1969, Taylor came from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and was a member of the Stones until 1974 The Rolling Stones were scheduled to play at a free concert for Blackhill Enterprises in London's Hyde Park, two days after Jones' death; they decided to go ahead with the show as a tribute to him. The concert, their first with new guitarist Mick Taylor, was performed in front of an estimated 250,000 fans.[99] A Granada Television production team filmed the performance, which was broadcast on British television as The Stones in the Park.[2] Blackhill Enterprises stage manager Sam Cutler introduced the Rolling Stones on to the stage by announcing: "Let's welcome the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World."[1][133] Cutler repeated the introduction throughout their 1969 US tour.[134][135] Jagger read an excerpt from Shelley's poem Adonaïs, an elegy written on the death of his friend John Keats. They released thousands of butterflies in memory of Jones[99] before opening their set with "I'm Yours and I'm Hers", a Johnny Winter number.[133] Also performed, but previously unheard by the audience, were "Midnight Rambler" and "Love in Vain" from their forthcoming album Let It Bleed (released December 1969) and "Give Me A Drink", which eventually appeared on Exile on Main St. (released May 1972). The show also included the concert debut of "Honky Tonk Women", which the band released the previous day.[136][137][138] "Gimme Shelter" MENU0:00 Sample of "Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones, from Let It Bleed (1969) "Brown Sugar" MENU0:00 Sample of "Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones, from Sticky Fingers (1971) Problems playing these files? See media help. The Stones' last album of the sixties was Let It Bleed which reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 3 in the US.[75] It featured "Gimme Shelter" with guest lead female vocals by Merry Clayton (sister of Sam Clayton, of the American rock band Little Feat).[139] Other tracks include "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (with accompaniment by the London Bach Choir, who initially asked that their name be removed from the album's credits after apparently being "horrified" by the content of some of its other material, but later withdrew this request), "Midnight Rambler" as well as a cover of Robert Johnson's "Love in Vain". Jones and Taylor are both featured on the album.[140] Just after the US tour ended, the band performed at the Altamont Free Concert at the Altamont Speedway, about fifty miles (80 km) east of San Francisco. The Hells Angels biker gang provided security. A fan, Meredith Hunter, was stabbed and beaten to death by the Angels after they realised he was armed.[141] Part of the tour, and the Altamont concert, was documented in Albert and David Maysles' film Gimme Shelter. In response to the growing popularity of bootleg recordings (in particular Live'r Than You'll Ever Be, recorded during the 1969 tour), the album Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! was released in 1970. Critic Lester Bangs declared it the best ever live album.[142] It reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 6 in the US.[143] At the end of the decade the band appeared on the BBC's review of the sixties music scene Pop Go the Sixties, performing "Gimme Shelter", which was broadcast live on 31 December 1969. The following year, the band wanted out of contracts with both Klein and Decca, but still owed them a Jagger/Richards credited single. To get back at the label and fulfil their final contractual obligation, the band came up with the track "Schoolboy Blues"—deliberately making it as crude as they could in hopes of forcing Decca to keep it "in the vaults".[144] Amid contractual disputes with Klein, they formed their own record company, Rolling Stones Records. Sticky Fingers, released in March 1971, the band's first album on their own label, featured an elaborate cover designed by Andy Warhol.[145] It was an Andy Warhol photograph of a man from the waist down in tight jeans featuring a functioning zipper. When unzipped, it revealed the subject's underwear, imprinted with a saying— "This Is Not Etc."[145] In some markets an alternate cover was released because of the perceived offensive nature of the original at the time.[145][146] The Rolling Stones' logo, designed by John Pasche and modified by Craig Braun,[147] was introduced in 1971 Sticky Fingers' cover was the first to feature the logo of Rolling Stones Records, which effectively became the band's logo. It consisted of a pair of lips with a lapping tongue. Designer John Pasche created the logo following a suggestion by Jagger to copy the out stuck tongue of the Hindu goddess Kali.[147] Critic Sean Egan has said of the logo, "Without using the Stones' name, it instantly conjures them, or at least Jagger, as well as a certain lasciviousness that is the Stones' own ... It quickly and deservedly became the most famous logo in the history of popular music."[148][page needed] The tongue and lips design was part of a package that VH1 named the "No. 1 Greatest Album Cover" of all time in 2003.[145] The album contains one of their best-known hits, "Brown Sugar", and the country-influenced "Dead Flowers". "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" were recorded at Alabama's Muscle Shoals Sound Studio during the 1969 American tour.[149] The album continued the band's immersion into heavily blues-influenced compositions. The album is noted for its "loose, ramshackle ambience"[150] and marked Mick Taylor's first full release with the band.[151][152] Sticky Fingers reached number one in both the UK and the US.[153] The Stones' Decca catalogue is currently owned by Klein's ABKCO label.[154][155][156] In 1968, the Stones, acting on a suggestion by pianist Ian Stewart, put a control room in a van and created a mobile recording studio so they would not be limited to the standard 9–5 operating hours of most recording studios.[157] The band lent the mobile studio to other artists,[157][158] including Led Zeppelin, who used it to record Led Zeppelin III (1970)[159] and Led Zeppelin IV (1971).[157][159] Deep Purple immortalised the mobile studio itself in the song "Smoke on the Water" with the line "the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside, making our music there".[160] Following the release of Sticky Fingers, the Rolling Stones left England after receiving advice from their financial manager Prince Rupert Loewenstein. He recommended they go into tax exile before the start of the next financial year. The band had learned, despite being assured that their taxes were taken care of, they had not been paid for seven years and the UK government was owed a relative fortune.[161] The Stones moved to the South of France, where Richards rented the Villa Nellcôte and sublet rooms to band members and their entourage. Using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, they held recording sessions in the basement. They completed the new tracks, along with material dating as far back as 1969, at Sunset Studios in Los Angeles. The resulting double album, Exile on Main St., was released in May 1972, and reached number one in both the US and the UK.[162] Given an A+ grade by critic Robert Christgau[163] and disparaged by Lester Bangs—who reversed his opinion within months—Exile is now accepted as one of the Stones' best albums.[164] The films Cocksucker Blues (never officially released) and Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones (released in 1974) document the subsequent highly publicised 1972 North American Tour.[165] The band's double compilation, Hot Rocks 1964–1971, was released in 1972; it reached No. 3 in the UK[166] and No. 4 in the US.[167] It is certified Diamond in the US having sold over 12 million copies, and spent over 264 weeks on the Billboard album chart.[168] In 1974 Bill Wyman was the first band member to release solo material, his album Monkey Grip.[169] As of 2018 Wyman has released five solo albums, with the most recent, Back to Basics, released in 2015.[169][170] 1972–1977: Critical fluctuations and Ronnie Wood Members of the band set up a complex financial structure in 1972 to reduce the amount of their taxes.[171][172] Their holding company, Promogroup, has offices in both The Netherlands and the Caribbean.[171][172] The Netherlands was chosen because it does not directly tax royalty payments. The band have been tax exiles ever since, meaning they can no longer use Britain as their main residence. Due to the arrangements with the holding company, the band has reportedly paid a tax of just 1.6% on their total earnings of £242 million over the past 20 years.[171][172] In November 1972 the band began recording sessions in Kingston, Jamaica, for the album Goats Head Soup; it was released in 1973 and reached No. 1 in both the UK and US.[173] The album, which contained the worldwide hit "Angie", was the first in a string of commercially successful but tepidly received studio albums.[174] The sessions for Goats Head Soup also produced unused material, most notably an early version of the popular ballad "Waiting on a Friend", which was not released until the Tattoo You LP eight years later.[175] Bill Wyman, 1975 Another legal battle over drugs, dating back to their stay in France, interrupted the making of Goats Head Soup. Authorities had issued a warrant for Richards' arrest and the other band members had to return briefly to France for questioning.[176] This, along with Jagger's 1967 and 1970 convictions on drug charges, complicated the band's plans for their Pacific tour in early 1973: they were denied permission to play in Japan and almost banned from Australia. A European tour followed in September and October 1973, which bypassed France, coming after Richards' arrest in England on drug charges.[177] The 1974 album It's Only Rock 'n Roll was recorded in the Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany; it reached No. 2 in the UK and No. 1 in the US.[178] Miller was not invited to return as the album's album producer because his "contribution level had dropped".[178] Jagger and Richards produced the album credited as "the Glimmer Twins".[179] Both the album and the single of the same name were hits.[180][181][182] Near the end of 1974, Taylor began to lose patience after years of feeling like a "junior citizen in the band of jaded veterans".[183][184] The band's situation made normal functioning complicated, with members living in different countries, and legal barriers restricting where they could tour. In addition, drug use was starting to affect Richards' productivity, and Taylor felt some of his own creative contributions were going unrecognised.[185] At the end of 1974, with a recording session already booked in Munich to record another album, Taylor quit the Rolling Stones.[186] Taylor said in 1980, I was getting a bit fed up. I wanted to broaden my scope as a guitarist and do something else ... I wasn't really composing songs or writing at that time. I was just beginning to write, and that influenced my decision ... There are some people who can just ride along from crest to crest; they can ride along somebody else's success. And there are some people for whom that's not enough. It really wasn't enough for me.[187] Ronnie Wood (left) and Jagger (right) in Chicago, 1975 The Stones needed a new guitarist, and the recording sessions for the next album, Black and Blue (1976) (No. 2 in the UK, No. 1 in the US) in Munich provided an opportunity for some guitarists hoping to join the band to work while trying out. Guitarists as stylistically disparate as Peter Frampton and Jeff Beck were auditioned as well as Robert A. Johnson and Shuggie Otis. Both Beck and Irish blues rock guitarist Rory Gallagher later claimed they had played without realising they were being auditioned. American session players Wayne Perkins and Harvey Mandel also tried out, but Richards and Jagger preferred for the band to remain purely British. When Ronnie Wood auditioned, everyone agreed he was the right choice.[188] He had already recorded and played live with Richards, and had contributed to the recording and writing of the track "It's Only Rock 'n Roll". He had declined Jagger's earlier offer to join the Stones, because of his commitment to the Faces, saying "that's what's really important to me".[189] Faces' lead singer Rod Stewart went so far as to say he would take bets that Wood would not join the Stones.[189] Wood officially joined the Rolling Stones in 1975 for their upcoming Tour of the Americas, which was a contributing factor in the disbandment of the Faces. Unlike the other band members, however, Wood was a salaried employee, which remained the case until the early 1990s, when he finally joined the Stones' business partnership.[190] Jagger in 1976 The 1975 Tour of the Americas kicked off in New York City with the band performing on a flatbed trailer being pulled down Broadway. The tour featured stage props including a giant phallus and a rope on which Jagger swung out over the audience. Jagger had booked live recording sessions at the El Mocambo, a club in Toronto, to produce a long-overdue live album, 1977's Love You Live,[191] the first Stones live album since Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!.[192] It reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 5 in the US.[191] Richards' addiction to heroin delayed his arrival in Toronto; the other members had already arrived. On 24 February 1977, when Richards and his family flew in from London, they were temporarily detained by Canada Customs after Richards was found in possession of a burnt spoon and hash residue. Three days later, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, armed with an arrest warrant for Anita Pallenberg, discovered 22 grams (0.78 oz) of heroin in Richards' room.[193] He was charged with importing narcotics into Canada, an offence that carried a minimum seven-year sentence.[194] El Mocambo where some of the live album Love You Live was recorded in 1977 The Crown prosecutor later conceded that Richards had procured the drugs after his arrival.[195] Despite the incident, the band played two shows in Toronto, only to cause more controversy when Margaret Trudeau, then-wife of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was seen partying with the band after one show. The band's shows were not advertised to the public. Instead, the El Mocambo had been booked for the entire week by April Wine for a recording session. 1050 CHUM, a local radio station, ran a contest for free tickets to see April Wine. Contest winners who selected tickets for Friday or Saturday night were surprised to find the Rolling Stones playing.[196] On 4 March, Richards' partner Anita Pallenberg pleaded guilty to drug possession and incurred a fine in connection with the original airport incident.[196] The drug case against Richards dragged on for over a year. Ultimately, he received a suspended sentence and was ordered to play two free concerts for the CNIB in Oshawa;[195] both shows featured the Rolling Stones and the New Barbarians, a group that Wood had put together to promote his latest solo album, which Richards also joined. This episode strengthened Richards' resolve to stop using heroin.[99] It also ended his relationship with Pallenberg, which had become strained since the death of their third child, Tara. Pallenberg was unable to curb her heroin addiction as Richards struggled to get clean.[197] While Richards was settling his legal and personal problems, Jagger continued his jet-set lifestyle. He was a regular at New York's Studio 54 disco club, often in the company of model Jerry Hall. His marriage to Bianca Jagger ended in 1977, although they had long been estranged.[198] Although the Rolling Stones remained popular through the early 1970s, music critics had begun to grow dismissive of the band's output, and record sales failed to meet expectations.[72] By the mid-1970s, after punk rock became influential, many people had begun to view the Rolling Stones as an outdated band.[199] 1978–1982: Commercial peak The group's fortunes changed in 1978, after the band released Some Girls, which included the hit single "Miss You", the country ballad "Far Away Eyes", "Beast of Burden" and "Shattered". In part as a response to punk, many songs, particularly "Respectable", were fast, basic, guitar-driven rock and roll,[200] and the album's success re-established the Rolling Stones' immense popularity among young people. It reached No. 2 in the UK and No. 1 in the US.[201] Following the US Tour 1978, the band guested on the first show of the fourth season of the TV series Saturday Night Live. Following the success of Some Girls, the band released their next album Emotional Rescue in mid-1980.[202] During recording sessions for the album, a rift between Jagger and Richards was slowly developing. Richards wanted to tour in the summer or autumn of 1980 to promote the new album. Much to his disappointment, Jagger declined.[202] Emotional Rescue hit the top of the charts on both sides of the Atlantic[203] and the title track reached No.3 in the US.[202] The Rolling Stones on stage in December 1981. From left: Mick Jagger wearing a blue coloured jacket with yellow clothing and a black belt singing into a microphone, Keith Richards wearing black pants and a small purple vest (no shirt) playing a black guitar to the left - and slightly in front - of Jagger, Ronnie Wood wearing an orange jacket and black shirt/pants playing a beige guitar behind Jagger and Richards. The Rolling Stones performing in December 1981 In early 1981, the group reconvened and decided to tour the US that year, leaving little time to write and record a new album, as well as rehearse for the tour. That year's resulting album, Tattoo You, featured a number of outtakes, including lead single "Start Me Up", which reached No.2[204] in the US and ranked No.22 on Billboard's Hot 100 year-end chart. Two songs ("Waiting on a Friend" (US No. 13) and "Tops") featured Mick Taylor's unused rhythm guitar tracks, while jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins played on "Slave" and "Waiting on a Friend".[205] The album reached No. 2 in the UK and No. 1 in the US.[206] The Rolling Stones reached No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982 with "Hang Fire". Their American Tour 1981 was their biggest, longest and most colourful production to date. It was the highest-grossing tour of that year.[207] It included a concert at Chicago's Checkerboard Lounge with Muddy Waters, in one of his last performances before his death in 1983.[208] Some of the shows were recorded. This resulted in the 1982 live album Still Life (American Concert 1981) which reached No. 4 in the UK and No. 5 in the US,[209] and the 1983 Hal Ashby concert film Let's Spend the Night Together, filmed at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona and the Brendan Byrne Arena in the Meadowlands, New Jersey.[210] In mid-1982, to commemorate their 20th anniversary, the Rolling Stones took their American stage show to Europe. The European Tour 1982 was their first in six years and used a similar format to the American tour. The band were joined by former Allman Brothers Band keyboardist Chuck Leavell, who continues to perform and record with them.[211] By the end of the year, the Stones signed a new four-album recording deal with a new label, CBS Records, for a reported $50 million, then the biggest record deal in history.[212] 1983–1988: Band turmoil and solo projects Before leaving Atlantic, the Rolling Stones released Undercover in late 1983. It reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 4 in the US.[213] Despite good reviews and the Top Ten peak position of the title track, the record sold below expectations and there was no tour to support it. Subsequently, the Stones' new marketer/distributor CBS Records took over distributing their Atlantic catalogue.[212] Richards and Wood during a Stones concert in Turin, Italy in 1982 By this time, the Jagger/Richards rift had grown significantly. To Richards' annoyance, Jagger signed a solo deal with CBS Records and spent much of 1984 writing songs for his first album. He also declared his growing lack of interest in the Rolling Stones.[214] By 1985, Jagger was spending more time on solo recordings. Much of the material on 1986's Dirty Work was generated by Richards, with more contributions from Wood than on previous Rolling Stones albums. It was recorded in Paris, and Jagger was often absent from the studio, leaving Richards to keep the recording sessions moving forward.[215] In June 1985, Jagger teamed up with David Bowie for "Dancing in the Street", which was recorded for the Live Aid charity movement.[216] This was one of Jagger's first solo performances, and the song reached No. 1 in the UK, and No 7 in the US.[217][218] In December 1985, Stewart died of a heart attack. The Rolling Stones played a private tribute concert for him at London's 100 Club in February 1986. Two days later they were presented with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.[219] Dirty Work was released in March 1986 to mixed reviews, reaching No. 4 in both the US and UK.[220] It was the Stones first album for CBS with an outside producer, Steve Lillywhite.[221] With relations between Richards and Jagger at an all-time low, Jagger refused to tour to promote the album and instead undertook a solo tour, where he performed some Rolling Stones' songs.[222][223] As a result of their animosity, the Stones almost broke up.[222] Jagger's solo records, She's the Boss (1985), which reached No. 6 in the UK and No. 13 in the US, and Primitive Cool (1987) which reached No. 26 in the UK and Number 41 in the US, met with moderate commercial success. In 1988, with the Rolling Stones mostly inactive, Richards released his first solo album, Talk Is Cheap which reached No. 37[224] in the UK and No. 24 in the US.[225] It was well received by fans and critics, and certified Gold in the US.[226] Richards has subsequently referred to this late-80s period, where the two were recording solo albums with no obvious reunion of the Stones in sight, as "World War III".[227][228] The following year 25x5: The Continuing Adventures of the Rolling Stones, a documentary spanning the band's career was released for their 25th anniversary.[229] 1989–1999: Comeback and record-breaking tours In early 1989, the Stones, including Mick Taylor and Ronnie Wood as well as Brian Jones and Ian Stewart (posthumously), were inducted into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[72] Jagger and Richards set aside their animosity and went to work on a new Rolling Stones album, Steel Wheels. Heralded as a return to form, it included the singles "Mixed Emotions" (US No. 5), "Rock and a Hard Place" (US No. 23) and "Almost Hear You Sigh". The album also included "Continental Drift", which the Rolling Stones recorded in Tangier, Morocco in 1989 with the Master Musicians of Jajouka led by Bachir Attar, coordinated by Tony King and Cherie Nutting. Nigel Finch produced a BBC documentary film The Rolling Stones in Morocco.[230] The album reached No. 2 in the UK and No. 3 in the US.[231] The Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour was the band's first world tour in seven years and their biggest stage production to date. Opening acts included Living Colour and Guns N' Roses. Recordings from the tour include the 1991 concert album Flashpoint, which reached No. 6 in the UK and No. 16 in the US,[232] and the concert film Live at the Max released in 1991.[233] The tour was Bill Wyman's last. After years of deliberation he decided to leave the band, although his retirement was not made official until January 1993.[234] He then published Stone Alone, an autobiography based on scrapbooks and diaries he had kept since the band's early days. A few years later he formed Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings and began recording and touring again.[235] After the successes of the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tours, the band took a break. Watts released two jazz albums; Wood recorded his fifth solo album, the first in 11 years, called Slide On This; Wyman released his fourth solo album; Richards released his second solo album in late 1992, Main Offender and did a small tour including big concerts in Spain and Argentina.[236][237] Jagger got good reviews and sales with his third solo album, Wandering Spirit which reached No. 12 in the UK[238] and No. 11 in the US.[239] The album sold more than two million copies worldwide, being certified Gold in the US.[226] Multiple platinum award for their 1994 album Voodoo Lounge, on display at the Museo del Rock in Madrid After Wyman's departure, the Rolling Stones' new distributor/record label, Virgin Records, remastered and repackaged the band's back catalogue from Sticky Fingers to Steel Wheels, except for the three live albums. They issued another hits compilation in 1993 entitled Jump Back, which reached No. 16 in the UK and No. 30 in the US.[240] By 1993, the Stones were ready to start recording another studio album. Charlie Watts chose Darryl Jones, a former sideman of Miles Davis and Sting as Wyman's replacement for 1994's Voodoo Lounge. The album met with strong reviews and sales, going double platinum in the US. Reviewers took note and credited the album's "traditionalist" sounds to the Rolling Stones' new producer Don Was.[241] Voodoo Lounge won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album at the 1995 Grammy Awards.[242] It reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 in the US.[243] Richards in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil during the Voodoo Lounge Tour, 1995 The accompanying Voodoo Lounge Tour lasted into the following year and grossed $320 million, becoming the world's highest-grossing tour at the time.[244] Mostly acoustic numbers from various concerts and rehearsals made up Stripped which reached No. 9 in the UK and the US.[245] It featured a cover of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone", as well as infrequently played songs like "Shine a Light", "Sweet Virginia" and "The Spider and the Fly".[246] On 8 September 1994, the Stones performed their new song "Love Is Strong" and "Start Me Up" at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York.[247] The band received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the ceremony.[247] Jagger in Chile during the Voodoo Lounge Tour The Rolling Stones were the first major recording artists to broadcast a concert over the Internet; a 20-minute video was broadcast on 18 November 1994 using the Mbone at 10 frames per second. The broadcast, engineered by Thinking Pictures and financed by Sun Microsystems, was one of the first demonstrations of streaming video; while it was not a true webcast, it introduced many to the technology.[248] The Rolling Stones ended the 1990s with the album Bridges to Babylon (UK 6; US 3), released in 1997 to mixed reviews.[249][250][251][252] It reached No. 6 in the UK and No. 3 in the US.[253] The video of the single "Anybody Seen My Baby?" featured Angelina Jolie as guest[254] and met steady rotation on both MTV and VH1.[255] Sales were roughly equal to those of previous records (about 1.2 million copies sold in the US). The subsequent Bridges to Babylon Tour, which crossed Europe, North America and other destinations, proved the band remained a strong live attraction. Once again, a live album was culled from the tour, No Security, only this time all but two songs ("Live With Me" and "The Last Time") were previously unreleased on live albums. The album reached No. 67 in the UK[256] and No. 34 in the US.[257] In 1999, the Rolling Stones staged the No Security Tour in the US and continued the Bridges to Babylon tour in Europe.[258] 2000–2011: A Bigger Bang and continued success In late 2001, Mick Jagger released his fourth solo album, Goddess in the Doorway. It met with mixed reviews,[259] reaching No. 44 in the UK[260] and No. 39 in the US. A month after the September 11 attacks, Jagger, Richards and a backing band took part in The Concert for New York City, performing "Salt of the Earth" and "Miss You".[261] In 2002, the Stones released Forty Licks, a greatest hits double album, to mark forty years as a band. The collection contained four new songs recorded with the core band of Jagger, Richards, Watts, Wood, Leavell and Jones. The album has sold more than 7 million copies worldwide. It reached No. 2 in both the US and UK.[262] The same year, Q magazine named the Rolling Stones one of the 50 Bands To See Before You Die,[263] and the 2002–2003 Licks Tour gave people that chance. It included shows in small theatres. The Stones headlined the Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto concert in Toronto, Canada, to help the city—which they had used for rehearsals since the Steel Wheels tour—recover from the 2003 SARS epidemic. An estimated 490,000 people attended the concert.[264] On 9 November 2003, the band played their first concert in Hong Kong as part of the Harbour Fest celebration, in support of its SARS-affected economy. The same month, the band licensed the exclusive rights to sell the new four-DVD boxed set, Four Flicks, recorded on their recent world tour, to the US Best Buy chain of stores. In response, some Canadian and US music retail chains (including HMV Canada and Circuit City) pulled Rolling Stones CDs and related merchandise from their shelves and replaced it with signs explaining why.[265] In 2004, a double live album of the Licks Tour, Live Licks, was released and certified gold in the US.[226] It reached No. 2 in both the UK and US.[266] In November 2004, the Rolling Stones were among the inaugural inductees into the UK Music Hall of Fame.[267] The Rolling Stones at the San Siro stadium in Milan, Italy, July 2006 The band's first new album in almost eight years, A Bigger Bang, was released on 6 September to strong reviews, including a glowing write-up in Rolling Stone magazine.[268] The album reached No. 2 in the UK and No. 3 in the US.[269] The single "Streets of Love" reached the top 15 in the UK.[270] The album included the political "Sweet Neo Con", Jagger's criticism of American Neoconservatism.[271] The song was reportedly almost dropped from the album because of objections from Richards. When asked if he was afraid of a political backlash like the Dixie Chicks had endured, Richards responded that the album came first saying, "I don't want to be sidetracked by some little political 'storm in a teacup'."[272] The subsequent A Bigger Bang Tour began in August 2005, and included North America, South America and East Asia. In February 2006, the group played the half-time show of Super Bowl XL in Detroit, Michigan. By the end of 2005, the Bigger Bang tour set a record of $162 million in gross receipts, breaking the North American mark set by the band in 1994. On 18 February 2006 the band played a free concert to over one million people at the Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro—one of the largest rock concerts of all time.[273] The Rolling Stones at Twickenham Stadium, London during A Bigger Bang Tour in August 2006 After performances in Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand in March/April 2006, the Stones' tour took a scheduled break before proceeding to Europe. During the break Keith Richards was hospitalised in New Zealand for cranial surgery after a fall from a tree on Fiji, where he had been on holiday. The incident led to a six-week delay in launching the European leg of the tour.[274][275] In June 2006 it was reported that Ronnie Wood was continuing his alcohol abuse rehabilitation programme,[276][277] but this did not affect the rearranged European tour schedule. Mick Jagger's throat problems forced the cancellation of two of the 21 shows scheduled for July–September 2006.[278] The Stones returned to North America for concerts in September 2006, and returned to Europe on 5 June 2007. By November 2006, the Bigger Bang tour had been declared the highest-grossing tour of all time.[279] Martin Scorsese filmed the Stones performances at New York City's Beacon Theatre on 29 October and 1 November 2006 for the documentary film, Shine a Light, released in 2008. The film features guest appearances by Buddy Guy, Jack White, and Christina Aguilera.[280] An accompanying soundtrack, also titled Shine a Light, was released in April 2008 and reached No. 2 in the UK and No. 11 in the US.[281] The album's debut at No. 2 on the UK charts was the highest position for a Rolling Stones concert album since Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! The Rolling Stones in Concert in 1970. At the Beacon Theater show, music executive Ahmet Ertegun fell and later died from his injuries.[282] The band toured Europe throughout June–August 2007. 12 June 2007 saw the release of the band's second four-disc DVD set: The Biggest Bang, a seven-hour film featuring their shows in Austin, Rio de Janeiro, Saitama, Shanghai and Buenos Aires, along with extras. On 10 June 2007, the band performed their first gig at a festival in 30 years, at the Isle of Wight Festival, to a crowd of 65,000 and were joined onstage by Amy Winehouse.[283] On 26 August 2007, they played their last concert of the Bigger Bang tour at the O2 Arena in London. At the conclusion of the tour, the band had grossed a record-setting $558 million[284] and were listed in the latest edition of Guinness World Records which stated the record was for gross receipts of $437 million. Mick Jagger released a compilation of his solo work called The Very Best of Mick Jagger, including three unreleased songs, on 2 October 2007. It reached No. 57 in the UK and No. 77 in the US. On 12 November 2007, ABKCO released Rolled Gold: The Very Best of the Rolling Stones (UK 26), a double-CD remake of the 1975 compilation Rolled Gold.[285] The Rolling Stones in 2008 (from left to right: Watts, Wood, Richards, Jagger) at the Berlin Film Festival's world premiere of Martin Scorsese's documentary film Shine a Light In July 2008 the Rolling Stones left EMI to sign with Vivendi's Universal Music, taking with them their catalogue stretching back to Sticky Fingers. New music released by the band while under this contract was to be issued through Universal's Polydor label.[286] Mercury Records was to hold the US rights to the pre-1994 material, while the post-1994 material was to be handled by Interscope Records (once a subsidiary of Atlantic).[287] During the autumn, Jagger and Richards worked with producer Don Was to add new vocals and guitar parts to ten unfinished songs from the Exile on Main St. sessions. Jagger and Mick Taylor also recorded a session together in London where Taylor added lead guitar to what would be the expanded album's single, "Plundered My Soul".[288] On 17 April 2010, the band released a limited edition 7-inch vinyl single of the previously unreleased track "Plundered My Soul" as part of Record Store Day. The track, part of the group's 2010 re-issue of Exile on Main St., was combined with "All Down the Line" as its B-side.[289] The band appeared at the Cannes Festival for the premiere of the documentary Stones in Exile (directed by Stephen Kijak[290]) about the recording of the album Exile on Main St..[290] On 23 May, the re-issue of Exile on Main St. reached No. 1 on the UK charts, almost 38 years to the week after it first occupied that position. The band became the first act to see a classic work return to No. 1 decades after it was first released.[291] In the US, the album re-entered the charts at No. 2.[292] In October 2010, the Stones released Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones to cinemas and later on to DVD. A digitally remastered version of the film was shown in select cinemas across the United States. Although originally released to cinemas in 1974, it had never been available for home release apart from bootleg recordings.[293] In October 2011, the Stones released The Rolling Stones: Some Girls Live In Texas '78 to cinemas. A digitally remastered version of the film was shown in select cinemas across the US. This live performance was recorded during one show in Ft. Worth, Texas in support of their 1978 US Tour and their album Some Girls. The film was released on (DVD/Blu-ray Disc) on 15 November 2011.[294] On 21 November, the band reissued Some Girls as a 2 CD deluxe edition. The second CD included twelve previously unreleased tracks (except "So Young," which was a B-side to "Out of Tears") from the sessions with mostly newly recorded vocals by Jagger.[295] 2012–present: 50th anniversary and covers album Stage set for the 50 & Counting tour at the Prudential Center, New Jersey on 13 December 2012 The Rolling Stones celebrated their 50th anniversary in the summer of 2012 by releasing the book The Rolling Stones: 50.[296] A new take on the band's lip-and-tongue logo, designed by Shepard Fairey, was also revealed and used during the celebrations.[297] Jagger's brother Chris performed a gig at The Rolling Stones Museum in Slovenia in conjunction with the celebrations.[298] The documentary Crossfire Hurricane, directed by Brett Morgen, was released in October 2012. He conducted approximately fifty hours of interviews for the film, including extensive interviews with Wyman and Taylor.[299] This was the first official career-spanning documentary since 1989's 25x5: The Continuing Adventures of the Rolling Stones, filmed for their 25th anniversary in 1988.[229] A new compilation album, GRRR!, was released on 12 November. Available in four different formats, it included two new tracks, "Doom and Gloom" and "One More Shot", recorded at Studio Guillaume Tell in Paris, France, in the last few weeks of August 2012.[300] The album debuted at No. 3 in the UK and No. 19 in the U.S. and went on to sell over two million copies worldwide.[270] The music video for "Doom and Gloom" featuring Noomi Rapace was released on 20 November.[301] The Rolling Stones performing in Hyde Park, London on 13 July 2013 In November 2012, the Stones began their 50 & Counting... tour at London's O2 Arena, where they were joined by Jeff Beck.[302] At their second show in London Eric Clapton and Florence Welch joined the group onstage.[303] Their third anniversary concert took place on 8 December at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York.[303] The last two dates were at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on 13 and 15 December. Bruce Springsteen and blues rock band the Black Keys joined the band on the final night.[303][304] They also played two songs at 12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief.[305] The Stones played nineteen shows in the U.S. in spring 2013, before returning to the UK. They returned to Hyde Park in July, though it was not free like the 1969 concert.[306] On 29 June, the band performed at the 2013 Glastonbery Festival.[307] Hyde Park Live, a live album recorded at the two Hyde Park gigs on 6 and 13 July, was released exclusively as a digital download through iTunes later that month. It peaked at No. 16 in the UK and No. 19 in the US.[308][309] A live DVD, Sweet Summer Sun: Live in Hyde Park, was released on 11 November.[310] In February 2014, the band embarked on their 14 On Fire tour spanning the Middle East, Asia, Australia and Europe, scheduled to last through to the summer.[311] On 17 March, Jagger's long-time partner L'Wren Scott died suddenly, resulting in the cancellation and rescheduling of the opening tour dates to October.[312] On 4 June, The Rolling Stones performed for the first time in Israel. Haaretz described the concert as being "Historic with a capital H."[313] In a 2015 interview with Jagger, when asked if retirement crosses his mind he stated, "Nah, not in the moment. I'm thinking about what the next tour is. I'm not thinking about retirement. I'm planning the next set of tours, so the answer is really, 'No, not really.'"[314] The Stones in Cuba in March 2016. A spokesman for the band called it "the first open air concert in Cuba by a British rock band."[315] The Stones embarked on their Latin American tour in February 2016.[316][317] On 25 March, the band played a bonus show, a free open air concert in Havana, Cuba.[315] In June of that year, The Rolling Stones released, Totally Stripped, an expanded and reconceived edition of Stripped, in multiple formats.[318] Their concert on 25 March 2016 in Cuba was commemorated in the film Havana Moon. It premiered on 23 September for one night only in more than a thousand theatres worldwide.[319][320] The film Olé Olé Olé: A Trip Across Latin America, a documentary of their 2016 Latin America tour,[321] was shown in theatres on 12 December for one night only.[322] Olé Olé Olé: A Trip Across Latin America came out on DVD and Blu-ray 26 May 2017.[322][323] The band released Blue & Lonesome on 2 December 2016. The album consisted of 12 blues covers of artists like Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed and Little Walter.[324][325] Recording took place in British Grove Studios, London, in December 2015, and featured Eric Clapton on two tracks.[326] The album reached No. 1 in the UK, the second-highest opening sales week for an album that year.[327] It also debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.[328] In July 2017, the Toronto Sun reported the Stones were getting ready to record their first album of original material in more than a decade.[329] The album On Air, a collection of 18 recordings the band performed on the BBC between 1963 and 1965, was released in December 2017. The compilation featured eight songs the band had never recorded or released commercially.[330] In May 2017, a new tour across Europe was announced, called the No Filter Tour, with fourteen shows in twelve different venues across Europe in September and October of the same year.[331] It was later extended throughout July 2018, adding fourteen new dates across the UK and Europe, making it the band's first UK tour since 2006.[332] In November 2018, the Stones announced plans to bring the No Filter Tour to U.S. stadiums in 2019, with 13 shows set to run from April to June. [333] Musical development See also: Instruments played by the Rolling Stones A copy of "Micawber", Keith Richards' signature Telecaster model, in the Fender Guitar Factory Museum The Rolling Stones have assimilated various musical genres into their own collective sound. Throughout the band's career, their musical contributions have been marked by a continual reference and reliance on musical styles including blues, psychedelia, R&B, country, folk, reggae, dance, and world music, exemplified by Jones' collaboration with the Master Musicians of Jajouka, as well as traditional English styles that use stringed instruments like harps. Brian Jones experimented with the use of non-traditional instruments such as the sitar and slide guitar in their early days.[334][335][336] The group started out covering early rock 'n' roll and blues songs, and have never stopped playing live or recording cover songs.[337] Jagger and Richards had a shared admiration of Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters,[338] and Howlin' Wolf.[338] Little Walter influenced Brian Jones. Richards recalls, "He was more into T-Bone Walker and jazz blues stuff. We'd turn him onto Chuck Berry and say, 'Look, it's all the same shit, man, and you can do it.'"[10] Charlie Watts, a traditional jazz drummer,[339][340] was also introduced to the blues through his association with the pair. "Keith and Brian turned me on to Jimmy Reed and people like that. I learned that Earl Phillips was playing on those records like a jazz drummer, playing swing, with a straight four."[341] Jagger, recalling when he first heard the likes of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, Fats Domino, and other major American R&B artists, said it "seemed the most real thing"[342] he had heard up to that point. Similarly, Keith Richards, describing the first time he listened to Muddy Waters, said it was the "most powerful music [he had] ever heard ... the most expressive."[342][343] He also recalled, "when you think of some dopey, spotty seventeen year old from Dartford, who wants to be Muddy Waters—and there were a lot of us—in a way, very pathetic, but in another way, [it was] very ... heartwarming".[344] Despite the Rolling Stones' predilection for blues and R&B numbers on their early live set lists, the first original compositions by the band reflected a more wide-ranging interest. Critic Richie Unterberger described the first Jagger/Richards single, "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)", as a "pop rock ballad ... When [Jagger and Richards] began to write songs, they were usually not derived from the blues, but were often surprisingly fey, slow, Mersey-type pop numbers".[345] "As Tears Go By", the ballad originally written for Marianne Faithfull, was one of the first songs written by Jagger and Richards and one of many written by the duo for other artists. Jagger said of the song, "It's a relatively mature song considering the rest of the output at the time. And we didn't think of [recording] it, because the Rolling Stones were a butch blues group."[346] The Rolling Stones did later record a version which became a top five hit in the US.[347] Of their early writing experience, Richards said, The amazing thing is that although Mick and I thought these songs were really puerile and kindergarten-time, every one that got put out made a decent showing in the charts. That gave us extraordinary confidence to carry on, because at the beginning songwriting was something we were going to do in order to say to Andrew [Loog Oldham], 'Well, at least we gave it a try ...'[69] Jagger said, We were very pop-orientated. We didn't sit around listening to Muddy Waters; we listened to everything. In some ways it's easy to write to order  ... Keith and I got into the groove of writing those kind of tunes; they were done in ten minutes. I think we thought it was a bit of a laugh, and it turned out to be something of an apprenticeship for us.[69] A white teardrop shaped guitar as used by Brian Jones, on display at the Hard Rock Cafe in Sacramento, California A Vox Teardrop guitar as used by Brian Jones, on display at the Hard Rock Cafe in Sacramento, California The writing of "The Last Time", the Rolling Stones' first major single, proved a turning point. Richards called it "a bridge into thinking about writing for the Stones. It gave us a level of confidence; a pathway of how to do it."[80] The song was based on a traditional gospel song popularised by the Staple Singers, but the Rolling Stones' number features a distinctive guitar riff, played by Brian Jones.[348] Prior to the emergence of Jagger/Richards as the Stones' songwriters, the band members occasionally were given collective credit under the pseudonym Nanker Phelge. Some songs attributed to Nanker Phelge have been re-attributed to Jagger/Richards.[349] Beginning with Jones and continuing with Wood, the Rolling Stones have developed what Richards refers to as the "ancient art of weaving" responsible for part of their sound – the interplay between two guitarists on stage.[350] Unlike most bands, the Stones follow Richards' lead rather than the drummer's (Watts).[351] Likewise, Watts is primarily a jazz player who was able to bring that genre's influences to the style of the band's drumming.[339][340] The following of Richards' lead has led to conflicts between Jagger and Richards and they have been known to annoy one another, but they have both agreed it makes a better record; Watts in particular has praised Jagger's production skills.[352] In the studio, the band have tended to use a fluid personnel for recordings and not use the same players for each song. Guest pianists were commonplace on recordings; several songs on Beggars Banquet are driven by Nicky Hopkins' piano playing. On Exile on Main St., Richards plays bass on three tracks while Taylor plays on four.[353] Richards started using open tunings for rhythm parts (often in conjunction with a capo), most prominently an open-E or open-D tuning in 1968. Beginning in 1969, he often used 5-string open-G tuning (with the lower 6th string removed), as heard on the 1969 single "Honky Tonk Women", "Brown Sugar" (Sticky Fingers, 1971), "Tumbling Dice" (capo IV), "Happy" (capo IV) (Exile on Main St., 1972), and "Start Me Up" (Tattoo You, 1981).[354] The feuds between Jagger and Richards originated in the 1970s when Richards was a heroin addict,[355][356] resulting in Jagger managing the band's affairs for many years.[357] When Richards got himself off heroin and became more present in decision making, Jagger was not used to it and did not like his authority diminished. This led to the period Richards has referred to as "World War III".[358] Musical collaboration between members of the band and supporting musicians was key, due to the fluid lineups typically experienced by the band in the studio,[359][360] as tracks tended to be recorded "by whatever members of the group happened to be around at the time of the sessions."[360] Over time, Jagger has developed into the template for rock frontmen and, with the help of the Stones, has, in the words of the Telegraph, "changed music" through his contributions to it as a pioneer of the modern music industry.[361] Legacy See also: List of awards and nominations received by the Rolling Stones Overhead shot of the Stones concert at Washington–Grizzly Stadium in Montana, October 2006. The Stones have had the highest-grossing concert tour three times[3] Since their formation in 1962, the Rolling Stones have survived multiple feuds.[362][363] They have released 30 studio albums, 23 live albums, 25 compilation albums and 120 singles.[364] According to OfficialCharts.com, the Stones are ranked the fourth bestselling group of all time. Their top single is "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction",[365] regarded by many at the time as "the classic example of rock and roll".[338] The Stones contributed to the blues lexicon, creating their own "codewords" and slang, such as "losing streak" for menstrual period, which they have used throughout their catalogue of songs.[338] The band has been viewed as the musical "vanguard of a major transfusion" of various cultural attitudes, making them accessible to youth in both America and Britain.[338] Muddy Waters was quoted as saying that the Rolling Stones and other English bands piqued the interest of American youth in blues musicians. After they came to the United States, sales of Waters' albums—and those of other blues musicians—increased public interest,[366] thus helping to reconnect the country with its own music.[367] The Rolling Stones have sold over 240 million albums worldwide[364] and have held over 48 tours of varying length, including three of the highest-grossing tours of all time: Bridges to Babylon Tour,[3] Voodoo Lounge Tour,[244] and A Bigger Bang Tour.[368] In May 2013, Rolling Stone magazine declared them the "most definitional band that rock & roll has produced".[362] The Telegraph called Mick Jagger "the Rolling Stone who changed music".[369] The band has been the subject of numerous documentaries and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Pete Townshend in 1989.[370][371] The Rolling Stones have inspired and mentored new generations of musical artists both as a band[372] and individually.[373][374] They are also credited with changing the "whole business model of popular music".[369] The band has received, and been nominated for multiple awards during their 55 years together including: three Grammy awards (and 12 nominations),[375] the Juno award for International Entertainer of the Year in 1991,[376] U.K.'s Jazz FM Awards Album of the Year (2017) for their album Blue & Lonesome,[377] and NME (New Musical Express) awards such as best live band and the NME award for best music film, for their documentary Crossfire Hurricane.[378] On Mick Jagger's 75th birthday, scientists named seven fossil stoneflies after present and former members of the band. Two species, Petroperla mickjaggeri and Lapisperla keithrichardsi, were placed within a new family Petroperlidae. The new family was named in honour of the Rolling Stones, derived from the Greek "petra" that stands for "stone". The scientists referred to the fossils as "Rolling Stoneflies".[379] Tours Main article: The Rolling Stones concerts The Rolling Stones' first concert was on 12 July 1962 at the Marquee Club in London.[380] The most documented of the band's concerts is the Altamont Free Concert at the Altamont Speedway in 1969. The Hells Angels biker gang provided security. They stabbed and beat an audience member, Meredith Hunter to death.[381] Albert and David Maysles documented part of the tour and the Altamont concert in their film Gimme Shelter.[382] From small clubs and hotels in London with little room for Jagger to move around[383][384] to selling out stadiums worldwide, Rolling Stones tours have changed significantly over the decades. The Stones' early setups were simple compared to what they became later in the band's career when elaborate stage designs, pyrotechnics and giant screens were used. By the time the Stones toured America in 1969, they began to fill large halls and arenas, such as The Forum in Inglewood, California.[385] They were also using more equipment, including lighting rigs and better sound equipment than they had used in clubs.[385] The 1969 tour is considered a "great watershed tour" by Mick Jagger because they "started hanging the sound and therefore hanging the lights".[386] Attributing the birth of arena rock to the Stones 1969 US tour, The Guardian ranked it 19 on their list of the 50 key events in rock music history.[387] Before this tour the loudest sound at large-capacity shows was often the crowd, so the Stones used lighting and sound systems that ensured they could be seen and heard in the biggest arenas. The Guardian commented that their "combination of front-of-house excellence and behind the scenes savvy took the business of touring to an entirely new level."[387] During the 1972 tour, the Stones developed a complex light show which included giant mirrors that bounced the light off them.[388][389] During the 1975 Tour of the Americas, arena shows became an industry for the band, and the Stones hired a new lighting director, Jules Fisher.[390] The props the band used on stage increased in both size and sophistication, similar to those on Broadway.[386] They started to use multiple stages, from which they would select for a particular show. On this tour they had two versions of what Jagger referred to as the "lotus stage". One version had a large Venetian (cylindrical) curtain, and the other had leaves that began in a folded up position and opened during the beginning of the concert.[386] This period also included a variety of props, including inflatable penises and other gimmicks,[386] and incorporated a number of circus tricks.[386] … at the beginning of the show the stage was completely covered with a kind of sheath gauze. I had to get inside the lotus, climb up a ladder and hang on like grim death to one of the petals, which then opened to reveal the band playing. —?Mick Jagger, speaking of stage design in According to The Rolling Stones[386] Runway (pictured in 2012) first appeared in Stones' concerts in 1981 During the 1981–1982 American tour, the Stones worked with Japanese designer Kazuhide Yamazari in constructing their stages for stadium-sized locations and audiences.[391] During this period, stages increased in size to include runways and movable sections of the stage going out into the audience.[384][391] This tour used coloured panels and was one of the last Stones tours to do so before switching to devices such as video screens.[384] Stadium shows provided a new challenge for the band. The venues were large enough in size that the band became "like ants" to audience members.[384] This resulted in Jagger having to project himself "over the footlights" and the band needing to use more gimmicks, such as pyrotechnics, lights and video screens.[384] When you're out there in this vast stadium, you have to physically tiny up on stage, so that's why on the 1981-2 tour we had those coloured panels and later we started using devices like video screens. We became very aware of not being seen, of just being there like ants. Mick is the one who really has to project himself over the footlights. And when the show gets that big, you need a little extra help, you need a couple of gimmicks, as we call it, in the show. You need fireworks, you need lights, you need a bit of theatre. —?Charlie Watts, According to the Rolling Stones[384] As time went on, their props and stage equipment became increasingly sophisticated. When the Stones began to fill stadium-sized venues, or larger, they ran into the problem of the audience no longer being able to see them. This was particularly the case when they performed a free concert for an estimated 1.5 million people[392] in Rio de Janeiro on the A Bigger Bang tour in 2006.[393] The show required over 500 lights, hundreds of speakers, and a video screen almost thirteen metres (43 ft) in length.[394][395][396] Due to the 2.5 km (1.6 mi) length of the beach on which the Stones performed,[396] sound systems had to be set up in a relay pattern down the length of the beach, to keep the sound in sync with the music from the stage;[396] for every three hundred and forty metres (1,120 ft) of beach, the sound had to be delayed an additional second.[395][396] Band members Current members Mick Jagger – vocals, harmonica, rhythm guitar, percussion, keyboards (1962–present)[397][398] Keith Richards – lead and rhythm guitar, bass guitar, vocals (1962–present)[397][398] Charlie Watts – drums, percussion (1963–present)[397][398] Ronnie Wood – rhythm and lead guitar, bass guitar, backing vocals (1975–present)[397][398] Former members Brian Jones – rhythm and lead guitar, multi-instrumentalist, backing vocals (1962–1969; died 1969)[397][398] Ian Stewart – keyboards, piano (1962–1963; contract player 1964–1985; died 1985)[397][398] Mick Taylor – lead guitar, bass guitar, backing vocals (1969–1974; guest 1981, 2012–2014)[397][398] Bill Wyman – bass guitar, keyboards, piano, backing vocals (1962–1993; guest 2012)[397][398] Early members Dick Taylor – bass guitar (1962)[399] Ricky Fenson – bass guitar (1962–1963)[400] Colin Golding – bass guitar (1962–1963)[400] Tony Chapman – drums (1962–1963)[399] Carlo Little – drums (1962–1963; died 2005)[401] Current contract players Chuck Leavell – keyboards, backing vocals (1982–present)[398] Bernard Fowler – backing vocals, percussion (1989–present)[398] Darryl Jones – bass guitar, backing vocals (1993–present)[398] Matt Clifford – keyboards, French horn, musical integrator (1989–1990, 2012–present)[398] Tim Ries – saxophone, keyboards (1999–present)[398] Karl Denson – saxophone (2014–present)[398] Sasha Allen – backing vocals, co-lead vocals on "Gimme Shelter" (2016–present)[402] Former contract players Jack Nitzsche – piano, arranging 1965–1971 Bobby Keys – saxophone (1969–1973; 1981–2014; died 2014)[403] Jim Price – trumpet (1970–1973)[404] Lisa Fischer – backing vocals, co-lead vocals on "Gimme Shelter" (1989–2015)[398] Billy Preston – keyboards, backing vocals (1973–1977; died 2006)[405] Nicky Hopkins – keyboards (1971–1973; died 1994)[406] Ernie Watts – saxophone (1981)[407][408] Ian McLagan – keyboards (1978–1981; died 2014)[409][410] Blondie Chaplin – additional guitar, backing vocals (1997–2007)[411] Ollie E.
