The Rolling Stones 1964-1975
The Brian Jones & Mick Taylor Years
Approx. 100 min.
Exciting evening of rare early unseen-for-years footage of performances, including their first appearances on television in the USA & Europe, promo films, concerts & newsreels. 1964-75 was undoubtedly one of The Stones' peak artistic periods; the band was as wildly popular and influential as The Beatles. After Brian Jones' death in 1969, MICK TAYLOR joined the band and helped create such celebrated albums as the legendary Exile on Main Street. Recently, Taylor re-joined with the Stones to re-master Main Street and complete 10 previously unfinished tracks from the period.
Thursday Nov. 18th
Pink Floyd (1966-1980)
Approx. 90 min.
From their early work with the legendary but doomed Syd Barrett to later iconic albums like Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, Pink Floyd have created a body of work that ranks among the greats of rock and roll. Pink Floyd exploded on Swinging London's music scene during the mid 1960s with their strange, trippy, spaced out, psychedelic sound. This evening of amazing performances will present a full retrospective of Pink Floyd's entire career.
