“The Rolling Stones at the BBC” is now available for free viewing on FilmOn. The special celebrates the 50th anniversary of the group by taking a look at the group’s musical legacy.

“The BBC celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Rolling Stones by delving into the vaults of archive material. From the early days of their career and some unforgettable performances on Top of the Pops, through to the late 60s and early 70s era of prolific song writing when the band were knocking out a classic album every other year and offering up such classics as ‘Honky Tonk Women’ and ‘Gimme Shelter’. The late 70s brought a massively successful nod to disco with ‘Miss You’ and the early 80s a stomping return to form with the rock ‘n’ roll groove of ‘Start Me Up’. Peppered amongst the performances are snippets of wisdom from the two main men – The Glimmer Twins aka Mick and Keith. Plus as a special treat, some lost footage of the band performing ’19th Nervous Breakdown’ on Top of the Pops in 1966, recently discovered in a BBC documentary from the 1960s about women with depression.”
