Series 7 Episode 3 of 3
Duration: 30 minutes
First broadcast: Saturday 20 October 2012


Paul Gambaccini is back with the award-winning series to re-visit three more occasions when a classic live album was recorded. He hears from those who were there, on-stage, backstage and in the audience, to re-create the event for all of us who, each time we play the album, think: 'If only I could have been there'.

Paul Gambaccini re-lives Thanksgiving 1969 when The Rolling Stones played Madison Square Garden and recorded an album later reviewed as 'the best rock concert ever put on record'.

In the company of many who were there on the night, including the tour manager Ronnie Schneider, sound engineer Glyn Johns, Mick Jagger's assistant at the time Jo Bergman, Chip Monck who looked after the lighting, road manager Sam Cutler, photographer Ethan Russell, and rock journalist Michael Jahn, Paul Gambaccini re-creates the occasion.

Also in this series of For One Night Only: 'Clapton Unplugged' (1992) and 'The Weavers at Carnegie Hall' (1955)
