Brian Jones is truly the first creative soul of The Rolling Stones. His rare interviews and performances always give me goosebumps! It's a pity that such a talent left so soon.
The fact that Richards and Jagger didn't attend Brian's funeral, will always be an ugly stain on their legacy. By showing up at the funeral Charlie and Bill showed their humanity.
To be fair, Keith said he considered Hyde Park to be the funeral; not everyone mourns in conventional ways. Mick had to film a movie, those schedules are pretty inflexible, he and Marianne sent a wreath. But yes, it was good of Charlie and Bill and Ian Stewart to be there.
@TheaterPup thank you for writing back. yes, i know the entire story surrounding brian's funeral. i love the hyde park footage. at the very end you can catch a very short glimpse of paul mccartney amidst the crowd. the version of sympathy they're playing is breathtaking. the poor butterflies though weren't that successful :) greetings from austria, have a good one!
@@TheaterPup New York City ... "if you make it there, you can make it anywhere!" -- I'd really love to walk the legendary streets of NYC. Some of my most beloved writers/poets lived there... William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Kerouac and countless others.
@@KlausToth Indeed! If you ever get to go to NYC, look up the article "New York City's eight best literary venues" from the BBC website. I'd love to try real Austrian dishes some day.
As ruthless as it might have been at the time, the fact remains that had it not been for Andrew's business acumen and marketing genius, the Stones would have ended up a very small footnote in music history - one of hundreds of other R&B cover bands of the time, albeit one of the best and certainly the most popular, who broke up after 2 or 3 years. Their US tours were financial flops until the release of the Jagger/Richards penned "Satisfaction" in the Spring of '65. What saved them from the same fate as so many other similarly influenced groups, was that Mick and Keith were fortunately able to finally acquire the knack for writing commercially successful rock/pop songs. It was Andrew's persistance that pushed them to that end and in turn launched the band to another level entirely.
Oldham was a great marketer, absolutely. Thing is he also openly encouraged division in the band, which made him a rotten manager. Brian Epstein inspired unity. Oldham did the exact opposite. He was too young and too immature to be a leader. And even today he seems to have very little insight, at least going by interviews.

Thank you 👍😊.
Just heart wrenching.

What is up with the completely random Sabbath meets psychedelic music playing over the funeral scenes?
Yeah it's awful
Fitting no?
