Rolling Stones 35mm Film Reels

1974

2.55 (Linear feet)

Little did the Rolling Stones know how apt their name--inspired by the title of a Muddy Waters song, "Rollin' Stone"--would turn out to be. Formed in 1962, they hold the record for longevity as a rock and roll band. There have been hiatuses, especially in the 1980s, but never a breakup. Moreover, critical acclaim and popular consensus has accorded them the title of the "World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band." Throughout five decades of shifting tastes in popular music, the Stones have kept rolling, adapting to the latest styles without straying from their roots as a lean, sinuous rock and roll band with roots in electric blues and Chuck Berry-style rock and roll. In all aspects, theirs has been a remarkable career, and no one has yet stripped them of their title as the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band.

The Rolling Stones 35mm Film Reels consists of two 17-minute promos for the 1974 concert film Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones.
