CONCERT OVERVIEW
This Rolling Stones concert, filmed in Texas in 1972 over four nights of the Exile On Main Street U.S. tour, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stonespremiered at the Ziegfield Theatre in New York on April 15, 1974 and released into selected cinemas across the USA shortly afterwards.
It was billed at the time as “…the most powerful rock film ever made” and is considered by many fans to be the finest Rolling Stones performance ever captured on film.
A monumental piece of music history, the film features Rolling Stones classics like Brown Sugar, Midnight Rambler, Tumbling Dice, Street Fighting Man, Jumpin’ Jack Flash and more.
HISTORY
The Rolling Stones concert footage appearing in Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stoneswas originally filmed in 16mm by Bob Freeze and Steve Gebhardt (Butterfly Films owned by John Lennon) over the course of four shows in Ft.Worth and Houston, Texas.
The goal was to show the film in cinemas to transform the moviegoer experience into that of a fan in a10,000-seat concert arena. The first screening took place at New York’sZiegfeld Theatre in on April 15, 1974 with extremely limited screenings elsewherein New York as well as in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Miami,and Los Angeles. The cinema shows sold out with word-of-mouth spreading like wildfire. While The Rolling Stones re-claimed the film masters inthe late 1990s, the film never had an official home video or DVD release, and despite massive bootleg demand has rarely been seen since its limited cinema exposure in the mid-seventies. Until now!
BAND LINE-UP
The Rolling Stones Band Members
Mick Jagger - lead vocals, harmonica Keith Richards - guitars, backing vocals Mick Taylor - guitars Bill Wyman - bass guitar Charlie Watts - drums
Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has stumbled across a diary he kept as a young man in the 60s -- and he wants to publish it.
The Daily Telegraph reports that the diary covers a period when Wood was 18 years old and playing in London R&B band the Birds, the group that initially launched him before his time in the Faces and eventually the Rolling Stones
Wood said, "I'd been rifling through some old stuff I had in the house and I found this diary that I kept in 1965. There were still installments all the way up to December – I don't know how I kept it going all the way through the year."
The 63-year-old added, "Some of it is just astonishing - I reckon I could publish the thing as it is. It's my personal diary so it is very honest."
With Keith Richards soon to publish what promises to be a fascinating autobiography in 'Life,' Wood believes his diaries might rival his bandmate's tome.
"Keith's book will do well, I'm sure," said Wood. "I mean, he is a very eloquent man. But my diary is interesting too though."

Bernard Fowler to produce upcoming album from Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood
By Phyllis Pollack
Longtime Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood will release his seventh studio solo, I Feel Like Playing, this fall. His first release since 2001’s Not For Beginners will feature guest appearances from his friend of many years Slash, ZZ Top's Billy F. Gibbons, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson, Pearl Jam vocalist Eddie Vedder, Rolling Stones backup vocalist Bernard Fowler, Stones bassist Daryl Jones, and drummer Jim Keltner.
Wood joined the Rolling Stones subsequent to the departure of Mick Taylor. Prior to The Rolling Stones, Wood played in groups including The Faces, The Jeff Beck Group, and The Birds. The disc will be priced at $13.98.
I asked Fowler about the upcoming release, and he told me, "This is the second album I produced for him, and the hardest because of what he was going through, and it can plainly be heard." He adds, "With the help of Bob Rock and friends, it is a well rounded record, if I must say so myself."
Fowler has worked with in the past on solo material from Wood and he has also performed as part of Wood's live solo act.
Wood's most popular solo album was 1979's Gimme Some Neck, which was supported by the New Barbarians tour. The brief tour featured Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, jazz bassist Stanley Clarke, Meters drummer Joseph Zigaboo Modeliste, former Faces compatriot keyboardist Ian "Mac" McLagan," and Stones sax player Bobby Keys. Without hesitation, the live performances I saw at the New Barbarians were among the finest on-stage offerings I have ever seen.
Not meant as a complete discography, here are some of the solo works from members of The Rolling Stones current lineup.
As far as other current members of the Rolling Stones with solo albums, Keith Richards has also released solo albums, three with the highly venerated and critically acclaimed X-Pensive Winos, Live at the Palladium, which was recorded in Los Angeles, California, Talk is Cheap, and Main Offender. Richards also had more than a few fingerprints on the 1997 self-titled Wingless Angels album, on which he co-produced guitar and backing vocals. He has also appeared as a guest on many other albums.
Among albums on which Richards heavily contributed is the soundtrack album to Hail, Hail Rock and Roll, A Tribute to Chuck Berry.
Richards' solo works have certainly been more well received than those of Mick Jagger.
Fowler, who has toured with the Stones for over two decades, appears on solo albums released by Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, Ron Wood, Keith Richards, and Mick Jagger. Bernard Fowler's own alluring 2007 solo album, Friends With Privileges, is also well worth the ducats to check out.
Over the years, Watts has released several praiseworthy solo jazz discs.
Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell has his own solo works as well. His newest release is 2008's Live in Germany: Green Leaves & Blue Note.
Blondie Chaplin, also a backup singer for The Stones, released Between Us, a beautifully executed and produced solo album in 2006.
Although Rolling Stones backup singer Lisa Fischer won a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 1992 with "How Can I Ease the Pain," a single from her So Intense album, her fans are still waiting for another solo full-length disc.
Rolling Stones basist Darryl Jones has not yet released a solo album.

Leah Wood wants her own women's fashion line.
The 31-year-old model - daughter of Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood and his ex-wife Jo Wood - is currently the face of vintage-inspired cult label Wheels & Dollbaby and she wants to expand her career by having a clothing line.
She said: "I've got so much creative stuff planned, I can't wait to get started. I have done this campaign called The Misfits for Wheels & Dollbaby. I want to design my own label for women aged 16 to 44, then a children's range and a homewares range. I'm doing an exhibition showcasing paintings I've done of female friends."
The mother-of-one says she's always been a huge fan of fashion, which stemmed from her parents.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "My love for fashion started when I was three - I remember changing outfits every two hours. Mum loved it and encouraged it. She styled dad for a really long time on tour, and I grew up seeing him and my mother wear Lycra leggings, loud jackets, full leather belts with studs and these rock T-shirts are now so soft. Until recently I was still raiding mum's attic. I'd get my friends up there and pull out dad's leather trousers and platform heels, screaming, 'Wow, did he really wear this?!"
------------------------------------------ Rolling Stones to bow out after 50 years in music - with giant farewell tour
London: English rock band The Rolling Stones are set to hang up their mikes after 50-years in music by holding a giant farewell tour.
The band, which formed in 1962, will hold the world tour from next year and it will continue on till 2012 when they will celebrate their half-century.
The four will have a combined age of 268, with drummer Charlie Watts celebrating his 70th birthday on the tour.
Bandmates Ronnie Wood, 63, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, both 66, agree the milestones make it the right moment to call it a day, and they are in talks with promoters Live Nation about the tour.
"They're likely to perform in stadiums. It's almost certainly the last full-scale world tour," the Sun quoted a source as saying.
"The band realise that age is creeping up on them. They want to bow out on top of their game, and not short-change their fans," the source added.

rocker Keith Richards will join Ronnie Wood on stage for a Faces reunion.
Wood, 62, is putting the seventies band back together for a one-off show in Sussex later this year before a tour starts at the beginning of 2011.
Richards, 66, will now join Wood as he is said to be getting impatient with Sir Mick Jagger reforming their band The Rolling Stones
A friend told UK newspaper the Daily Express: 'Ronnie and Keith have talked about Keith coming on board for a guest appearance with the Faces.
'At the end of the day Keith just wants to play and he enjoys playing with Ronnie more than most people.'

Bill Wyman Not Interested In Stones
Bill Wyman ''isn't interested'' in whether his former band the Rolling Stones tour again, as he is concentrating on his own. Bill Wyman "isn't interested" in the Rolling Stones. The 73-year-old rocker - who left the iconic group in 1992 and now tours with his own band Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings - revealed while he is still friends with his former bandmates, he doesn't care about whether they go back on tour or not. He told BANG Showbiz: "It doesn't interest me. I've got my own band. I have fun doing my own band. I don't do it for money or ego or for the charts. "I do it for fun, and that's the way I like to do music now. I'm still good friends with the band." The bassist - who was ranked number 10 in Maxim magazine's Living Sex Legends list - admitted he has no regret about leaving the band, despite being part of the group for 30 years. He insisted: "No, not at all. No regret. "If you were a bricklayer for 30 years and then went on to do something else you wouldn't go back to being a bricklayer would you? "They're great boys and good luck to them."
Drug-free and sober... it's the new face of Ronnie Wood: Stone has been off drink for 60 days
By Ben Todd Last updated at 12:32 AM on 26th May 2010
He has become almost as well known in recent years for his personal problems as for his renowned guitar playing.
Most disastrously, Ronnie Wood was given a police caution for common assault after a bust-up with ex-girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova on a high street in Surrey last December.
But in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail yesterday, the 62-year-old Rolling Stone told how he had been off booze and drugs for 60 days.
New love: Ronnie Wood with girlfriend Ana Araujo, whom he credits with helping him stay sober
As he announced the return of his legendary rock band The Faces, he said he was indebted to his new love, polo coach Ana Araujo, for sobriety.
And he vowed that he would not fall off the wagon again.
The guitarist - who has been in rehab on seven occasions during his three decade battle with drink and drugs - revealed that he is attending a Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous meeting every day.
Wood revealed: 'I've done 60 days of clean and serene and I can't see any way of stopping.
'I'm doing 90 meetings in 90 days. I do a meeting every day. It's a helluva bloody thing.
'I go from Surrey all over London - I just go to NA or AA and just keep it going.
'Ana's a good girl. She is very attractive. She is lovely and very supportive.'
He continued: 'I have to pat myself on the back for it - because it's a long journey, you know. I've got a big strength in the fellowship. It's good.'
Troubled past: Wood with former girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova. The pair had a public break-up late last year
Wood admitted the last 12 months had been difficult, saying: 'Oh yeah, with all the transitions, going on.'
He said that as well as Miss Araujo, his colleagues in The Faces have also been helping him.
The reunited Seventies band - most famous for hits including Stay With Me and Cindy Incidentally - consists of Wood and two other original members, drummer Kenney Jones, 61, and keyboardist Ian 'Mac' McLagan, 65.
Mick Hucknall, 49, from Simply Red, will be the singer instead of Rod Stewart, while former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock, 53, has replaced Ronnie Lane - who died in 1997 - on bass.
Wood said: 'Glen is on the [AA and NA] programme as well and is a really good support. And Kenney's been great, and Mac and Mick.'
The Faces are due to play their first full, public concert in 35 years on the first night of the three-day Vintage at Goodwood festival in West Sussex on August 13.
They are then planning a world tour, starting in January. There have been persistent rumours that Wood is on the verge of being dropped from the Rolling Stones because of his personal problems.
Comeback: Wood and fellow Faces band member Kenney Jones are preparing for a reunion concert
But despite The Faces reuniting, Wood insisted he remains very much part of the Stones as well.
'The Stones are great about The Faces,' he said. 'They are encouraging. In the downtime between The Stones' activity, you might as well do something constructive and keep the chops [guitar hands] going.'
The Faces decided to reform after they were handed a lifetime achievement award by the Performing Rights Society.
In a dig at aides of Stewart, Wood said he could not rejoin The Faces because the singer's 'powers that be were playing up'.
Wood added: 'What we loved about Mick Hucknall was his voice range was just like Rod's in the Seventies.'
Wood said he is looking forward to playing live - and sober.
'It will be the first time the Faces have ever been focused,' he said. 'Normally, we would all have gone on stage with a bottle.'
Reports claim drummer will stand down from live performances, but will continue to work on future recording projects

With the Rolling Stones topping the charts, the band denied rumours that were again swirling about Charlie Watts no longer performing with the band. Steve Jordan, a member of Keith Richards's backing group, would replace Watts as the Stones' touring drummer, reports claimed.
The 68-year-old did not wish to tour, the reports said, but would continue to work with Mick, Keith and Ronnie on future recording projects.
The reports appeared rather flimsy. The first, from Melbourne's Sunday Herald, came via an unnamed "respected tour promoter". According to this promoter, the Stones were planning an Australian tour in the next two years, and wanted "crazy money" for the gigs – even without Watts. The other source was an Australian website Undercover, which wrote last September that Watts had left the group. That report was formally denied by the band.
The latest rumours were also denied by a spokesman for the Stones. He said: "Contrary to a fabricated and ill-informed report that appeared yesterday on a small music website in Australia, we would like to make it clear that drummer Charlie Watts has not left the Rolling Stones."
The spokesman pointed out that Watts had been taking part in media interviews to promote the band's latest projects – the release of the album Exile on Main Street and the forthcoming DVD of the film Stones In Exile.
Rolling Stones get first number one album since 1994
The Rolling Stones have achieved their first number one album in 16 years as a re-released Exile on Main Street hit the top spot. By Stephen Adams, Arts Correspondent Published: 6:39PM BST 23 May 2010

The ageing rockers managed to hold off Faithless, a dance band, in the race to have the top selling album in the UK.
Voodoo Child was the band's last number one album, back in 1994.
It is 39 years since the Stones first released Exile on Main Street, which contains songs such as Tumbling Dice and Rocks Off.
For the revised album, new tracks have been added including Plundered My Soul and Dancing in the Light, as well as alternative versions of original songs.
Some critics panned the original album when it was released in 1972, with Lenny Kaye writing in Rolling Stone magazine that "the great Stones album of their mature period is yet to come". But with time many changed their opinion of the LP.
The re-release may well have been given a boost by publicity surrounding a documentary about the making of the original, called Imagine, The Stones in Exile. It was given its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last week.
