Tonight night (Wed 10th July 2019 and every Wednesday) I'm leading my Rock'n'Roll London Pub walk with LIVE Music.
Join me at 7pm Tottenham Court Road tube. The Rolling Stones ALWAYS feature prominently…
I'm a massive fan of the 60s Stones.
But it's always seemed to me that The Stones themselves wanted little to do with that part of their career. Understandable, I suppose, given that they lost control of the 60s catalog to former manager Allen Klein a long time ago.
An Introduction to The Blues
On Air redresses the balance and will delight fans of the band's formative period. Particularly those who are fans of Brian Jones's guitar playing. While you're listening, consider that these performances were, for many, a first exposure to slide guitar. For many Brits back in '63, these performances form an introduction to the blues. In the story of pop music, these are monumental moments.
The On Air album – two CD's – features their BBC performances in 1964 and '65 recorded for radio at three London venues – Broadcasting House, The Playhouse Theatre and Maida Vale Studios.
The accompanying hardback book – follows them through radio and TV studios in the UK and across the world and weaves the narrative of the Stones' first act with the story of mass media's global explosion. Great photos, too. On Air – A London Locations Map
To accompany the Rolling Stones book & double CD, I've put together a map featuring the three locations where the double CD's tracks were recorded for the BBC plus seven other London locations as featured in the excellent accompanying book.
You can also book a Rolling Stones In London tour for small groups as a Taxi Tour. Get in touch to enquire…
