I have WLKK "The Lake" in Buffalo to thank.
The played All Down The Line and then brought this "anniversary" to my attention. My Office Manager happened to be standing in my office and said "Wow. 45 years? I suppose you and your 'freaky friends' are having a party?"

Next stop....RO to share this news with my fellow Stonesian mutants.

Ian Stewart - Organ, piano

Gene Pitney - Piano on "Little by Little"
Phil Spector - Maracas on "Little by Little

"[Stu] might have realised that in the way it was going to have to be marketed, he would be out of sync, but that he could still be a vital part. I'd probably have said, 'Well, fuck you', but he said 'OK, I'll just drive you around.' That takes a big heart, but Stu had one of the largest hearts around." Keith R.

That's right.
April 16, 1964. (Verified at RS.com and my local radio station)

Amazing Feat!
45 years and still a working band.

Cheers to:

THE GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND OF ALL TIME!!

:necrophillicpost Wow!

LJ.

they're both sort of half-correct. The Stones' debut album was indeed released on that date - but it was the UK debut 'The Rolling Stones'. Certainly a moment thats worthy of being noted. You rock!

'England's Newest Hitmakers' - the US debut, with some different tracks from the UK album - wasn't released until 30 May 1964. (rs.com got that bit right)

45 years is sellin' 'em short, though if we're just counting their history as a chart act in the US. First show was 12 July 1962, and first record was June 1963. Some people on here saw them in 1963!

47 years - an even more amazing feat! Let's go get drunk

I must disagree with you, my good friend.
We are SPOILED rotten fans, in my opinion.
We want more (naturally) but they could EASILY have packed it up a long long time ago.

When (God willing) they Tour again, I know the tingle that I get when the Band hits the stage will be AS good IF NOT BETTER than it was in '75, '78, '81, ;89, '94, '97 '99, '03, '05 and '06!!!!

All acts have periods of inactivity. You could just as easily put an asterisk beside the 47 years and exclude summer '76-summer '77, 1984, 1986-88, 1991 - summer 1993, autumn 1995-autumn 1996, summer 1999 - spring '02, etc.

I agree that they've ground to a halt for too long (something that's not a good idea at this stage in their career when time isnt on their side) and are coasting creatively, but overall I think we hit the jackpot when we picked THIS particular band to follow. We've pretty much got a lifetime out of it so far.

Bring on the next chapter.

That's none other than the notorious Phil Spector (second from left).

Sure is. He had a big tie-in with the early Stones. That's why it's kinda hard for me to "hate" him. Sigh. What a disturbed person, though. Sad.

Pitney brought a bottle of brandy, & they all loosened up & had a good time.
