Product Description:
The Rolling Stones emerged in the summer of 1963 as the so-called ¿bad boys¿ antidote to the Beatles, a characterization that became one of the foundations of modern rock 'n' roll. In the 25 years that followed, the Stones have succeeded in outraging, mystifying, confusing yet always inspiring their fans. 25 X 5: The Continuing Adventures of The Rolling Stones is the first time that the Stones have gone on camera to tell their own story. Over two hours of devastatingly frank narratives by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, and Ron Wood are underscored by rare interview segments with Brian Jones and Mick Taylor, and rare and never-before-seen archival film, video, and newsreel footage.

Rating:  - Fun Documentary, Deserves To Be Re-released
Yep, it's dated. But documentaries tend to be, don't they? Lots of early & little seen footage from the good old days with Brian, including snippets from that rare early doc Charlie Is My Darling (sorry, the link to the DVD version wouldn't work), and that other, later one, title (careful, we're censored here) of which started with a "C", ended with an "r", and included the word "Blues". Having read about 5 Stones biographies in past decades, I have found this to be a thoroughly engrossing ... Read More
Rating: - Everything in Their Own Words
From the beginning with Ian Stewart and Brian Jones and the brilliance of their early work , to the time Mick Taylor replaced Jones and thereafter on Wood.
It ca be appreciated as for their early days and for the footage of Brian Jones.
Rating:  - Good Overview of Stones History--Where's the DVD?
This is a wonderful overview of the history of the Rolling Stones. The only reason it does not get five stars is that it is dated, having been released in the late 80's, and that it is currently available only in a VHS format, which many viewers no longer use. It is a documentary, with a lot of live-action concert shots mixed with interviews from all the band members. There's plenty of music, much of it longer than a snippet and many times showing the majority of a song in performance. Interesting ... Read More
Rating: - A hilarious history of the Stones
If you want a rollicking good time with the Stones, this is your best bet. Fantastic footage of early concerts where the crowds go absolutely wild and girls leap on-stage. Lots of interviews, observations from the bad boys about their drug busts and crazy lives. Plus some whole songs, not just excerpts. No phony "analysis" from outsiders. This is a great way to spend your evening. When's the DVD out?
Rating: - Already dated, yet necessary
This documentary was made in 1989, just as the Stones were reemerging from squabbling to become the moneyhoarding juggernaut they'll probably still be after their grandchildren are dead. Talking head clips are interspersed with news footage, the film gaining momentum as the band mature from whiteboy blues copyists to Dark Gods of Rock. '89-era Jagger bears a terrible haircut, as do suprisingly many of his late sixties Ed Sullivan appearances, but his recollections are mildly candid and thoughtful, which ... Read More
