THE ROLLING STONES have announced a run of fourteen shows in ten countries across Europe this summer and reveal the title of the new tour, "Sixty", in celebration of their 60th anniversary. THE STONES just keep on rolling and are back where they belong, out on the road in Europe playing to packed stadiums, staging a new show and a brand new "Sixty" production starting in Madrid on June 1.
"Sixty" will see Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood make their long-awaited return to their home turf of the U.K., kicking off with a special concert at the home of Liverpool FC - Anfield, the first-ever stadium show in this city by THE STONES and their first in Liverpool for over fifty years, followed by two shows in London's Hyde Park.

As you would expect on the band's 60th anniversary, THE STONES, once again joined by Steve Jordan on drums, will be treating fans to a setlist like no other, packed full of classics such as "Gimme Shelter", "Paint It Black", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Tumbling Dice", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Start Me Up" and many more. However, it wouldn't be a ROLLING STONES gig without some surprises each night, and a selection of unexpected tracks from their formidable arsenal of songs will also be popping up in the set list. As always with THE STONES, there will be a spectacular new "Sixty" production, including a massive stage, cutting-edge lighting and state-of-the-art video design, all to be unveiled for this long-awaited European tour.

Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
The boys don't know the meaning of the word quit, that's for sure - may they rock on forever, thx for posting jszfunk - did you see they're going to release the full show from the 1977 El Mocaimbo gig -- some of it already appeared on Love You Live
@stephen The Brian Jones era is interesting to me right now. This is 1964. 58 years ago. I was 17 in 1964.
i'm more excited about the upcoming live release
Cool vid, yeah that was sort of their mop top era (so to speak) starting out w/Brian, ie screaming girls etc, then Aftermath, Between The Buttons, 12x5..... mayb this upcoming one will have something from the previous year's Black & Blue - I love Crazy Mama, also Hand of Fate - thanks for the vids on the ABB anniversary thread also👍 😎
@stephen According to information on the net, Brian Jones founded the band in May 1962 when he advertised for band mates in a newspaper for the music scene called Jazz Weekly. The first person Jones hired was Ian Stewart. Mick Jagger, Dick Taylor and Keith Richards from a band called Blues Incorporated also showed up at the first jam for the new band Guitarist Geoff Bradford and singer Brian Knight also played but they eventually decided not to join because Keith Richards and Mick Jagger pushed Jones to play a lot of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley covers. Jones hired drummer Tony Chapman. The first line up was Jones, Jagger, Richards, Dick Taylor Ian Stewart and Chapman. Jones was the leader and carefully selected more blues cover songs for the band from the blues music he loved.
While speaking to a promotor on the phone attempting to book the band for early live shows, the promoter asked what is the name of the band? Jones didn't have a name yet so he quickly picked up a Muddy Waters album lying near by and saw " Rollin' Stone" as one of the songs and said " we are the Rollin' Stones"!
They played their first gig at the Marquee Club in London as "The Rollin' Stones". Dick Taylor was replaced on bass by Bill Wyman on December 7th, 1962. The guys discovered Wyman at a pub in Chelsea and hired him mostly because he had a quality instrument and amplifiers including a Vox AC30.
They invited drummer Charlie Watts, who was regarded as one of the best drummers playing pubs then to sit in on January 12, 1963 at the Eailing Club. On February 2nd Watts agreed to join and they replaced Chapman with Watts.
By March of 1963 they added a G to their name becoming The Rolling Stones.
In May 1963 they signed Log Oldham as their manager. Oldham was just 19 and not at the age of majority, his mother had to co-sign all contracts and official papers for the band. Oldham working with booking agent Eric Easton put together the band's first tour of clubs and pubs.
Oldham insisted the band wear matching suites like the Beatles. He later changed his mind and ordered the band to wear unmatched clothing, long hair and a dirty appearance. Even advertised the band with " Would you let your daughter go out with one of these?"
Steward was removed as an official member but was hired as road manager and touring keyboard player. Oldham said Stewart didn't have the look he wanted and six is too many for a group picture. The fans can't remember everyone's face.
Decca Records signed the band to a recording contract. Regent studios was chosen to record the band and they were cheap. They could afford more than 3 hours recording time. The instruments leaked from one instrument to the other but Oldham liked it. Said it created a wall of sound.
Oldham saw little success for a band playing and recording covers and it was then he began to push back against Brian Jones and encouraged Jagger and Richards to work on their song writing talent. Their first batch were rejected except Tell Me You're Coming Back, the only Jagger/Richard song on their first album released in 1964. There were two more originals credited to Nanker Phelge. That name was selected as the credit when a song was written by the entire band.
The band's second album was a break out. Number one in England and number five in the US. The Jagger/Richards The Last Time was released as a single and went to number one. They wrote four songs for the second album and with Oldham's approval Jagger/Richards began taking control of the band.
By Beggars Banquet Brian Jones was reduced to bring used as a an occasion sideman not appearing on every track. Jagger said Jones was not psychologically suited for the band. His increasing drug use and alcohol consumption and no longer able to get a US visa resulted in a meeting in Jones' house and Jones admitted he wasn't fit to tour so he quit but he said " If I want to come back, I can". He was immediately replaced by Mick Taylor and Jones was found dead in his swimming pool a month later. He was 27. Another 27. Several rock greats then died at 27.
Jones could play almost any instrument is said to be a good slide guitar player. His favorite ax was a Vox oval shape.
Brian on slide.

I rarely get psyched about upcoming album releases but I'm definitely psyched for the Stone's 'Live at El Mocambo' one. I always thought the portion they released on side 3 of the 'Love You Live' album was by far the best part of that album. I bought it back when it was first released in 1977 and I probably played side 3 of that album 50+ times more than the rest of the record.
The upcoming vinyl releases of the 'Live at El Mocambo' album are a bit too pricey for my liking, so I'll probably get a copy of the CD instead. Can't wait to hear the rest of those performances!
