The Rolling Stones are a British
rock and roll band who rose to prominence
during the mid-1960s. The Rolling Stones
were original in weaving together various
strands of American composition into a new
form of popular music. Early in their career
they played covers of blues, rhythm and
blues, country, and rock and roll music.
Their first recordings were covers of Chuck
Berry, Robert Johnson, Screamin' Jay Hawkins,
Waters, and Hank Williams songs, among others.
Although founding members Mick Jagger and
Keith Richards are regarded as one of the
greatest songwriting teams in the history
of popular music, the band never stopped
being inspired by other genres. Reggae,
Punk, and Dance have leaked into their recordings.
Guitarist (and original frontman)
Brian Jones, although popular and charismatic,
was forced out of the band in 1969 and died
an enigmatic death later that year, presumed
accidental at the time, although accusations
have surfaced that he was murdered. Jagger
and Richards took over songwriting and performance
leadership. Jones had favored sticking close
to the blues base, although he had also
experimented with the sitar, but Jagger
and Richards broadened their approach.

05.10.05 Rolling Stones Official Tour
Press Release
THE ROLLING STONES ONSTAGE
WORLD TOUR
To Launch August 21st at Boston's Fenway Park
Stones Redefine the Concert Experience Giving Fans the
Chance to Be ONSTAGE
NEW YORK, NY -- (May 10, 2005) - The Rolling Stones announced
today the kick off of the Rolling Stones World Tour at Boston's
legendary Fenway Park on August 21st. With 35 dates already
confirmed in the U.S and Canada, the band will then tour
Mexico, South America, the Far East and finally Europe in
the summer of 2006.
Fans, along with hundreds of members of the U.S. and international
media gathered at Lincoln Center, were treated to the ultimate
surprise performance by the Rolling Stones. As the famous
opening notes of "Start Me Up" blared across the
plaza, a giant banner with eye-popping signature tongue
logos dropped revealing the band performing on the balcony-turned-stage
of the 100 year old conservatory, Juilliard. Mick Jagger,
Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood played three
songs for an ecstatic crowd, including "Oh No Not You
Again," a new track off their upcoming CD along with
their classic hit "Brown Sugar." This marks the
first time the Rolling Stones performed at a press event
since 1975 when they sang "Brown Sugar" on top
of a flatbed truck as they rode down 5th Avenue.
The Rolling Stones Onstage will once again showcase their
diversity as musicians and performers by playing three dramatically
different venues from the grand scale excitement of a stadium,
to the thrill of an arena to the intimate setting of a theatre
and club with special set lists. This year's tour takes
the concert experience to the next level by bringing together
the advantages of an up-close club experience with their
electric stadium show. The band will fulfill the ultimate
dream of music lovers across the globe, offering the unimaginable-the
opportunity to be onstage with the Rolling Stones. Several
hundred seats are built directly into the stadium set, offering
fans the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share the excitement
and adrenaline rush of being onstage as the Rolling Stones
perform to an audience of 50,000 plus.
"The band is redefining the concert experience - there
is nothing even comparable to the thrill of being onstage
with the Rolling Stones and seeing a stadium show from the
band's perspective," said Michael Cohl, tour promoter.
"For fans this will be the greatest tour yet."
Rolling Stones Onstage will combine the spectacular production
and charismatic performances that fans have come to expect.
The band will be working closely with the design team responsible
for the sensational sets, dramatic effects and state-of-the
art technology on previous tours from "Steel Wheels"
to "Licks."
The Rolling Stones hold the record for the top 2 most attended
North American tours of all time.
Fans are able to enjoy special access to tickets, exclusive
merchandise and can also follow the tour online at www.rollingstones.com.
For the first time ever, concert goers will be able to see
the exact seat locations and choose the price level of tickets
before purchasing a platinum membership to the fan club.
Every ticket sold for the tour will include a free Virtual
Ticket membership in the Rolling Stones fan club. Updated
daily, users will be given an exclusive insider's look at
every aspect of the tour. From rehearsals and preparations
to on-going coverage via audio and videos streams, downloads,
set lists and news and much more.

presented by Ameriquest. "With music that appeals to
a wide spectrum of the American public, the Rolling Stones

Early history: 1961-1967
The band came into being in 1961 when former school friends
Jagger and Richards met Jones, who named the band after a
Muddy Waters song; at least two other bands (and one circus
tumbling act) are believed to have called themselves The Rolling
Stones before the Jagger/Richards/Jones band was formed. The
original lineup included Jagger (vocals), Jones (guitar),
Richards (guitar), Ian Stewart (piano), Charlie Watts (drums)
and Dick Taylor (bass). Taylor left shortly after to form
The Pretty Things, and was replaced by Bill Wyman. By the
time of their first album release Stewart was, at their manager's
insistence, "officially" not part of the band, though
he continued to record and perform with them. United by their
shared interest in rhythm and blues music, the group rehearsed
extensively, playing in public only occasionally at Crawdaddy
Club in London, where Alexis Korner's blues band was resident.
At first, Jones, a guitarist who also toyed with numerous
other instruments, was their creative leader. The band rapidly
gained a reputation in London for their frantic, highly energetic
covers of the rhythm and blues songs of their idols and, through
manager Andrew Loog Oldham, were signed to Decca Records (who
had passed when offered The Beatles). At this time their music
was fairly primitive: Richards had learned much of his guitar
playing from the recordings of Chuck Berry, and had not yet
developed a style of his own, and Jagger was not as in control
of the idioms as he would soon become. By this time, however,
the rhythmic interplay between Watts and Richards was clearly
the heart of their music.
The choice of material on their first record, a self-titled
EP, reflected their live shows. Similarly, the album The
Rolling Stones (England's Newest Hitmakers) which appeared
in April 1964 featured versions of such classics as "Route
66" (originally recorded by Nat King Cole), "Mona"
(Bo Diddley) and "Carol" (Chuck Berry). The performances
were pivotal in introducing a generation of white British
youth to rhythm and blues music, and helped to fuel the
"British Invasion". More importantly perhaps,
while The Beatles were still suited, clean-cut boys with
mop-top haircuts, The Stones cultivated the opposite image:
decidedly unkempt, and posing for publicity photographs
like a gang sulking at cameras because they were afraid
of showing bad dentistry if they smiled. This made many
girls go crazy for their bad boy image, and soon made them
a teen idol group. The follow-up album, The Rolling Stones
#2 (Now in the U.S), was also composed mainly of cover tunes,
only now augmented by a couple of songs written by the fledgling
partnership of Jagger and Richards having been locked in
a room by their manager who refused to let them out until
they had produced something they could release that was
self-written. Encouraged by Oldham, the band toured Europe
and America continuously in their support, playing to packed
crowds of screaming teenagers in scenes reminiscent of the
height of Beatlemania. While on tour they took time to visit
important locations in the history of the music that inspired
them, recording the EP Five By Five at the studios of Chess
Records in Chicago.
Back at home these early years of success represented a
rare period of stability in the personal relationship between
the band members. Jagger, Richards and Jones were sharing
a house and Jones had begun to see Anita Pallenberg, an
actress and model who introduced them to the circle of society
in which she moved: a group of young artists, musicians
and filmmakers. Prompted by Oldham, who possessed sufficient
business acumen to see where money was to be made, Jagger
and Richards became more prolific songwriters and 1965's
Out Of Our Heads contained much self-penned material, including
the classic "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," and
saw the dynamic of the band begin to change, with Jagger
and Richards starting to emerge as the perceived leaders
of the band. Jones, not unaware of his reduced importance,
retreated into drug abuse, alienating both Richards and
Pallenberg, who began a liaison that would last over ten
years. During this period Pallenberg's opinions about the
music, as one of the few people the band trusted, should
not be underestimated. With the main songwriters maintaining
their rate of production, Aftermath (1966) continued the
progression, consisting entirely of Jagger/Richards compositions
including "Mother's Little Helper," about pill
abuse, and the misogynistic "Under My Thumb,"
whereas on Between The Buttons (1967) they wore the influences
of their many contemporaries, including The Who and The
Kinks.
Mixed emotions: The Rolling Stones
1981-1999
Throughout the early 1980s the Jagger/Richards partnership
continued to falter, and their records would suffer because
of it. 1983's Undercover was widely seen as Jagger's attempt
to make the Rolling Stones' sound more compatible with current
musical trends. The album's slick production and violent
political and sexual content were coolly received by both
critics and fans. To make matters worse, Ron Wood was now
suffering from his own growing drug habit. In 1982 Jagger
had signed a major solo deal with the band's new label,
CBS Records. This move angered Richards, who saw it as a
lack of commitment to the band. Indeed, Jagger was spending
a great deal of time on his solo recordings, and most of
the material on 1986's Dirty Work was authored solely by
Keith Richards (indeed, many would put later speculate that,
after years of making decisions in drug-addled Richards'
place, Jagger resented Richards reasserting creative control.
A speculation that originated with Richards himself). The
album again sold poorly, and sales were probably hurt by
Jagger's decision not to tour in support of the album.
To add to the band's woes in 1986, longtime collaborator
and unofficial band member Ian Stewart died of a heart attack.
The Rolling Stones' only live appearance during this time
was a tribute to Stewart. However, a bright spot that year
was when they were awarded a Grammy for lifetime achievement.
But by this point Jagger and Richards had begun openly criticizing
each other in the press, and many observers assumed the
band had broken up. Sales of Jagger's solo records (She's
the Boss (1985) and Primitive Cool (1987)) did not live
up to expectations. Ironically, Richards' first solo record,
Talk is Cheap (1988), which he had been reluctant to make
because of his loyalty to The Stones, was well received
by both fans and critics, prompting Jagger to shelve his
own solo career and reform the group for 1989's Steel Wheels
album and tour, widely heralded as a return to form. 1989
also saw Stones inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame.
In 1991 Bill Wyman left the band and had published Stone
Alone, a frank autobiography. (He would go on to write a
coffee table tome entitled "Rolling with the Stones"
in 2002) After his departure, the band continued as a foursome.
Watts was asked to choose a bass player, and he selected
the respected session musician and Miles Davis sideman Darryl
Jones, who played bass on Voodoo Lounge (1994) and Bridges
to Babylon (1997) —both highly praised—and toured
in support of both records.
The Stones' song "Start Me Up" was used by Microsoft
to launch their Windows 95 operating system. Some critics
noted that the group who epitomise the way that rock and
roll commercialised earlier rhythm and blues by delivering
it to a global audience provided the soundtrack for the
corporation who did the same with software. (Critics of
Windows also noted the song's lyric "You make a grown
man cry.") The Rolling Stones had previously never
licensed their music for commercial use. According to legend,
Microsoft founder Bill Gates asked Jagger how much the rights
to the song would cost; rather than refuse outright, Jagger
replied with $13 million — a sum that he thought would
be self-evidently outrageously high. Gates, however, immediately
agreed to the amount.
Don't stop: The Rolling Stones 2000-date
In 2002, Q magazine named The Rolling Stones as one of
the "50 Bands To See Before You Die". On July
30, 2003, the band headlined the Molson Canadian Rocks for
Toronto concert in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to help the
city recover financially and psychologically from the effects
of the 2003 SARS epidemic. It was attended by an estimated
450,000 people, the largest concert in Canadian history.
On November 9, 2003, the band played its first ever concert
in Hong Kong as part of the Harbour Fest celebration. In
November of 2003 the band exclusively licensed the right
to sell their new 4-DVD boxed set, Four Flicks, recorded
on their most recent world tour, to the U.S Best Buy chain
of stores. In response, other music retail chains (including
Tower Records, Virgin Megastore and HMV) pulled all Rolling
Stones CDs and related merchandise from their shelves and
replaced them with signs explaining the situation.
The Stones completed sessions with Don Was as producer
for a new studio album in Paris in December 2004, with Jagger
and Richards writing and recording new songs. Was stated
the Stones would reconvene after the Christmas holidays
and that the tracks recorded so far were significantly different
to anything he has worked on with The Stones before. Charlie
Watts also attended the Paris sessions and was reported
to be in excellent health after being treated for throat
cancer. The album is The Stones' first full studio album
since 1997's Bridges to Babylon, with a tentative release
date in Summer 2005, as reported on Billboard (http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000735012)
(external link). On May 10 2005 the Stones announced plans
for another world tour starting on August 21st at Fenway
Park in Boston. The tour is expected to include dates throughout
the USA and Canada before going to South America, Asia and
Europe. Launching the tour at the Julliard School of Music
in New York, Mick Jagger told reporters that it would not
necessarily be their last and declared that work on a new
album was "85 percent" complete.
