ROCKS OFF
Television Guest
Appearances - Live Performances
The
purpose of this page is to document "live" guest appearances by The
Rolling Stones on television shows
It may
be a surprise to some to see how few there actually are, which is mainly
because many TV appearances in the 1960's featured the band miming to a
playback recording...as a result, I have not listed appearances without any
"live" performance of any kind, which explains the non-inclusion of
most appearances on shows such as "Thank Your Lucky Stars", "Top
Of The Pops", "Shindig" etc.
It is
quite difficult to find tapes of many early TV shows to try and discern between
"live" and "mimed" performances, but I have listed only the
shows where I am pretty certain they did NOT mime.
In
fact, some of the appearances documented here are not completely
"live" either, as in many cases the performance featured only a live
vocal performed over a pre-recorded backing track (for example, many
appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show")
Latter
day performances are easier to track down as the Stones have only made a guest
performance on one "regular" TV show since 1971,namely NBC's
"Saturday Night Live" in 1978 - any other performances since then
have been on awards shows, usually in the form of satellite feeds taken from a
Rolling Stones concert
I have
not listed shows where the performance has not been "live" in front
of an audience of sorts such as "Don Kirshners Rock Concert" (US TV
1973 and 1974), even if the vocals have sometimes been "live",
because these segments have featured promotional videos as opposed to an
"in person" guest appearance. Nor have I listed features on shows
such as "Old Grey Whistle Test" (1972), "Good Night
America" (1975) etc which featured footage of the band in rehearsal for a
tour
The
contents should be self-explanatory - however, just to clarify, they are listed
thus:
Broadcast
date - ie, the INITIAL broadcast date only, not taken into
account the countless reruns and /or video repackaging of these performances.
Programme
Title - Original broadcast only, not re-broadcasts in
different shows under other titles.
Channel
- Again,
this refers only to the TV station, which originally broadcast the performance.
Country
- Country of origin of broadcast, taking into account that in recent
years, satellite television has broadcast shows live worldwide.
Songs
performed - Setlists of the TV program.
Tape
Extant - Whether a video recording of the performance is known
to be in circulation amongst collectors (or if no video recording is
circulating, if it is available as an audio recording).
Notes - Any
additional notes on the performance, in particular if the show was recorded on
a different date than it was broadcast.
