The Rolling Stones

Arena: The Stones & Brian Jones
Documentary maker Nick Broomfield apparently met Brian on a train when he was a teenager, and decades later, here is a pretty simpering love letter to the thwarted blues man who found his band taken off him by more talented and motivated people. When his woman was taken off him too, then that was the last straw. Bill Wyman is the only past/present Stone happy to talk up Brian's abilities, which were adding musical touches to Paint It, Black and so on, which he only did in a doomed attempt to stay relevant in the band. Most contributors were via audio, which at least did include Brian, though Bill was one of a few who got to appear in vision too.

Mick turned 80 last week 

They've got a new album, Hackney Diamonds, out next month, their first new material type album since the 2000's. A couple of tracks feature the late Charlie Watts:

Released last week, it went to #1 in the UK yesterday   Tracks like Angry have been surprisingly catchy.

Stones - GRRR Live!
From Newark, on the last night of an anniversary tour, in 2012, and with special guest turns from Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, the Black Keys, Mick Taylor and others, plus with Keith getting to sing a couple of numbers, this felt like a special show.

Stones In Exile
From 2010, a look at the saga of the "Exile on Main Street" album, how France made it happen, how Charlie and others resented the travelling to Keith's place (where the studio was), and how it became a big success for them, with various endorsements from the likes of Sheryl Crown, Will i am, Benicio del Toro, Jack White and Martin Scorsese among others.

The Rolling Stones: Bridges to Bremen
A lengthy concert from September 1998, as the lads were pushing their latest album. Mick amusingly tries to give shout-outs to countries watching; Keith brings forward Ronnie's daughter, singing on her first appearance. There's an interlude on a special mini-stage which they reach via a long metal bridge, which I suppose ties in with the title, but seems a bit silly. They also play Memory Motel as a result of an online vote, which is at least something different.

The Swinging 60s: The Story of Brian Jones and THE ROLLING STONES
From 2005, apparently, with some archive of Brian, Keith, Andrew Loog Oldham and Mick, and new comments from Bill Wyman, Phil May of the Pretty Things and a few others who can tell the story of the blues fan who decided to leave Alexis Korner to pursue his own dream, which didn't ultimately turn out well for him.
