This is the first official, in-depth history of the Rolling Stones told through the band's television and radio broadcasts--appearance by appearance. "The Rolling Stones on Air in the Sixties" is a unique chronicle of the band's rise to fame during the 1960s. It begins with a letter the BBC received from Brian Jones in January 1963, politely requesting an audition for "The Rollin' Stones Rhythm and Blues Band," and ends with the story of the group's performance of "Let It Bleed" for BBC's end-of-the-decade celebration television program Ten Years of What. From their first television appearance on Thank Your Lucky Stars!, sporting matching houndstooth suits at the insistence of manager Andrew Loog Oldham, to the louche rockers who performed at a televised free concert in London's Hyde Park in 1969, "The Rolling Stones on Air in the Sixties" reveals, year-by-year, how the group rose from obscurity to dominate rock-and-roll. Throughout, the Stones look back at their career-defining broadcasts, sharing their individual recollections about the music, the clothes, the fans, the rivals and friends, and the impact they had on the generational divide and the world around them.
