The Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar, 05/01/75, Flatbed Truck on 5th Avenue, NYC
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 ноя 2021
- Venue: 5th Avenue, NYC
Date: May 1st, 1975
Format: 16mm film, colour, synced with radio broadcast audio and various still photographs
This is my attempt at compiling the most complete version of the Stones' 1975 tour announcement performance. There are a number of versions available on RUclips, but all are either incomplete or only partially synced up to the proper audio. The sources are as follows:
-Digital Transfer of raw 16mm footage shot by WNEW-TV
-Clips of 16mm footage shot by WCBS-TV (raw footage from this angle was used by the Stones in their '25x5' documentary, and I've used that superior source when possible)
-Radio broadcast audio from WNEW-FM, with hosts Scott Muni & Dave Herman
The WNEW-FM audio was slightly better than the native camera audio, so I used it from 0:43 until the end. Unfortunately neither TV news crew shot the entire performance, so I've used a variety of still photographs in between the clips. I've also included the complete news clips at the end of the video:
6:49 WNEW-TV News Clip
9:25 WCBS-TV News Clip

I don't own the material and don't mind re-posting, but I ask that you please credit me for the edit work.
The flat bed truck was apparently Charlie’s idea ,as he knew that’s how the jazz bands in Harlem used to advertise their shows on the 1920s. That’s what Mick said in an interview. Also they told the press they would do a press conference in a restaurant and while all the press were waiting the Stones went by on the flatbed. Great advertising idea from a great drummer and a graphic artist ad man Charlie. Cheers from Montreal
Me and my 3 friends skipped school to go into the city to see TOMMY the movie at the Ziegfeld theatre that day. After the show we walked over to 5th Ave and saw people and heard music. We ran toward it and soon realized the Stones were on a truck playing Brown Sugar! Will never forget that day.
jesus, i could have died there and then!!!
@@reresimone4300 It was a very special day. When I got home started calling all my friends telling them what we saw, and none of them believed me. Then the 6 oclock news came on and that was the top story. My phone started ringing off the hook. I remember watching the news with my parents and hoping to god that the cameras didnt show the crowd where i was standing instead of junior high that day! lol
Did you see mick Jagger
Lucky dude. NYC, great city. Wish the Stones did that in Chicago. Oh well. I remember reading about this in Rolling Stone.
Must’ve been awesome, I luv the Stones!
What a friggin RIOT!!!! You can just tell they were having a BLAST!! Awesome and tight performance of Brown Sugar - Bill Wyman really comes out strong you can hear the previous 10 years of stones bass sound in his playing. I swear I never saw this before how cool!!!
The sound was awful
Seeing all eleven minutes of it made me cry, in a great way, of course!
You'd be crying in a bad way since this sond,.my favorite, was cancelled.
I'm devastated!
I was 14 at the time. I've been a fan of the Stones for nearly 50 years. Now they're known as the Strolling Bones! All in their late 70's and early 80's still selling out stadiums. Amazing.
Steel Wheelchairs tour
Strolling Bones ?
Never heard anyone refer to them as such.
You might need new friends❤❤❤😂😂😂
But they need to stop --- it's past time to stop. Keefe and Ronnie literally look like animated skeletons.
This is the day they made the Radio announcement that the MSG show tix were on sale. Jumped in my car and to 8th Ave / 40th St, walked 7 block to MSG Box (Many, Many People were there) and I got Tix for 6/27/75. My 1st of x 4 Stones Concerts. And I would finally get my Ya-Ya's out!! I never forgot it!!
tix?
@@klaasj7808 I Bought my tix at the MSG Box Office the day of this Flatbed Truck Show on 5/1/75. It announced the Tix being on sale at MSG Box Office over the radio. I was Driving in Central NJ at the time. As soon as I heard it, I drove to a friends and pix him up and drove straight to 40th St and 8th Ave where I parked and walked 7 blocks. I got two tix to 6/27/75 show. I was happy as a clam. PS: In '75, I witnessed my 2nd & 3rd Led Zeppelin concerts (2/3 & 2/8), my 1st of x 4 Stones concerts (6/27) and on 12/15/75, sitting in row # 2, my 4th in two years. So I saw all 3 Live in '75. My last GREAT year / era for shows 4/21/73 to 12/15/75.
Groovy! I was in the front at the Seattle show.
This was their press conference. They got the idea from Charlie, in the old days, blues musicians would advertise their coming shows on a flatbed truck.
My first concert at MSG in 1975. I was so excited seeing this on TV I made my mom take me and my buddy Frankie to the show and pick us up after.I'm 64 now. I was 15 then.
I got to see the first show in 1981 at JFK stadium in Philly, made it to the front row somehow. Of the 100+ concerts I've been to, that is the most memorable! Oh yea 15 dollars a ticket then!
LOL I SAW THEM AT SECOND SHOW 9/26/81 80 DEGREE WEATHER, @JFK 100,000 OF THE STONES, CLOSES FRIENDS, LOL THEY FORMED THE SAME YR. I WAS ESTABLISHED, CIRCA1962!!! WITH GEORGE THOROGOOD& THE DELAWARE DESTROYERS& JOURNEY WITH STEVE PERRY. YEP, TIX WERE $15.75 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same story for me except i was 16. My best high school friend approached me just before school let out for the summer and said he had gotten two tickets for the June 25th 1975 show. His Mom picked me up and off we headed on the train down to NYC. First concert for both of us as well. I had no idea what that show was to mean to me. It made me a life long stones fan for sure. Turns out, that night was the last time i would see my friend again as well. When school started he was nowhere to be found. My guess is his Father probably got transferred out of state that summer as he was a big executive. A couple years ago i tracked him down and sadly, he had passed away a few years prior. He is buried though in our town we went to H.S. in. So, from time to time i go and pay him a visit. I actually have the 6/25 show on bootleg and i play it for him. I think i can feel him rocking to it the way i do. Nothing ever before or since compared to the Stones in MSG in the summer of 75. Glad you got to experience it as well ! :)
Simply amazing experiences! Thanks for sharing them, I did enjoy those very much 😎
Awesome
ALL RIGHT!!
A Rolling Stones video with the fabulous Bill Wyman in it!
Got tickets to see them tomorrow in Philadelphia. Can't wait
A year later in February 1976 Aussie Rockers AC/DC made their classic video of "Its A Long Way To The Top (If you wanna rock n roll)" while being driven hrough the centre of Melbourne on a flatbed truck. Imitation is the best form of flattery..
Unbeliveable today, imagine the Stones on fifth Avenue without cops everywhere and singing Brown Suggar (they avoid actually to sing it on stage), good sound, great version.
"just like a young boy should".
I was in the City that day but I was at MSG box office buying my 6/27/75 show. It was my 1st of x 4. It was announced on the Radio and I was in Central NJ Driving around. I Heard it, Pick up a friend's brother and off to the City. What a whirlwind!! There were 1000's of people already there. But we got ours plus two more seats!! I never forgot that day and the show.
@@markmichalko3913 show proof of it we won't believe you til you do it
@@musashielmaldito6848 Proof of what?? I sat in a $12.50 seat Loge Section 21C /Row B/ Seat 4 on 6/27/75 @ MSG. Plus 45 more shows between 4/21/73 - 7/17/80. Then moved to Calif in '81 and my 1st was 3 days @ US FESTIVAL '82 and then Day # 2 of US FESTIVAL '83. 3 more STONES show in Calif. Two at the Oakland Coliseum Stadium and one at the Shark Tank in San Jose CA. Don't need to prove anything. I remember all my 46 shows and have many pix of all the GREAT ones. But I ain't showin' you shit!! PS: You should see the Pix of me in row # 1 at Roger Daltrey feet during my 12/15/75 show at the Spectrum. Or go ask EDGAR WINTER & RICK DERRIINGER how the WHO / MONTROSE show was at MSG, NYC on 6/14/74. We watch that one together. And he high fived me when I told him I was Graduating HS six days later. PS: and who is WE anyway!!
@@markmichalko3913 ok just kidding no need to be so harsh you were there
@@musashielmaldito6848 Never had anyone ??? my concert memories before. Most people I share my stories & concert pix are so glad that I remember and remember in such detail. I have some GREAT Concert stories, Esp the '1973 & '74 years (I was 16 & 17). I take pride in my recall of shows & life events whether it be good or bad. My Vivid memory is also sometimes a curse. But when it comes to the show, i'm just glad I remember it all. Most of the people that talk about there concerts can't get dates, or who played or what they played right. Make me crack up. I guess it wasn't that important to them but I loved the show. I didn't do a lot but the ones I did were all a big deal to me and the people I went with. I barely did 100 shows but they were the BEST that Classic rock had to offer. PS: WHO is We anyway?? What did you want me to prove??? It was a funny ??? PSS: I can tell you the set list of this and every band I saw live (OR about 99.3%). I have in a folder. PSSS: i'm normally always a nice guy and never or almost never have issues w/ anyone. I'm a classic rock study esp between '64 - '73 (The Last GREAT year for Classic LP Releases). I also tend to Filibuster when it comes to my stories. You should have been to some of them, A Life - Time full of memories. So MR MALDITO, YOU FREAKIN' BE & STAY SAFE!! GO RANGERS!!
Ben, this is a stunning piece of rock-n-roll history! Have watched the cutup versions "many" times but this is a real gem,,, where was this hiding all these years? Thanks for sharing,,,
From a stone addict!
Glad you're enjoying it! I stumbled on the 16mm transfer of the first news clip by chance and compiled the rest to try and make the most complete version. Not perfect but the best we can get for now it seems.
Robert, I live this. Radio announcement while this was going on. TIX on Sale @ MSG Box Office. I grabbed a buddy, Drove to Port Authority on 8th Ave & 40th St and was there 22 and 1/2 mins of hearing it on the RADIO, then ran the 7 Blocks to MSG. Many People in Line. So I asked if anyone if they were buying the min tix purchase. One gal said she was buying two. I gave her my $$$ and she bought 4. My show was 6/27/75. No opener at mine w/ Billy Preston in tow. My 1st of x 4 STONES concert. PS: I love being part of history!! Just like my 1st of x 4 ZEP concerts. As a 16 year old and only my 9th show ever, I hit the Mail -In Lottery for 4 tix's to show # 2 Used in the Movie/Live LP "The Song Remains the Same". Not bad for a Central NJ Burb Kid.
RUclips is a treasure trove for hidden gems. The one social media that adds more than it takes.
GREAT 1975 TOUR LOGO ON THE BACKGROUND....STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TOURT SHIRT
Same here, bud. They played the LA Forum in 1975.
Mick is such a natural show man. Excellent prompter.
Memories, memories, memories.I DEFINITELY remember this.I wad 7 years old at the time.I was out shopping with my mom.I almost got lost because I couldn't find my mom.I came this close to crying my eyes out when all of a sudden, I begin to hear loud music.I wanted to see where it was coming from.I turn around near fifth Ave. And what do my wondering eyes see? Some group who call themselves the ROLLING STONES performing on a flatbed truck.I liked what I seen and heard.It was right there that I became a fan even though I was way to young to go to the concertI was no longer sad because I saw my mom but I wanted to stick around.but I had to go.I wasn't sad anymore because In some way, the ROLLING STONES cheered me up with a free concert on s flatbed truck on fifth Ave on a rainy day.at 9:06, that grumpy old man and his wife,screw the both of them.back then,old people suck.both of them are probably DEAD and buried.Mick and the boys outlived them.
The Rolling Stones are old. So this means they suck to. You peanut brain!
Ive been looking for this piece of Rock and roll history since all my life !!! Thank you for posting
I saw the Stones for the first time on that tour right after high school. They came to my town of Buffalo twice that year finishing the tour at an outdoor concert in our football stadium. Saw that one too. Favorite band ever since.
It brought tears to my eyes. A time gone by. Imagine doing your daily shit and the fucking Rolling Stones were right there on the street. Oh man! Such emotion. Such excitement. The greatest rock n roll band in the world right there on the street in front of you!
awesome footage
アルバムのライナーノーツなどでこのゲリラライブの事が書かれていて若い頃からずっと興味がありました。その動画が観れて感激です😂😂どうも ありがとう❤❤
My friends and I were trying to get there, and we got hung up in traffic. But we were only 5 blocks from Madison Square Garden. Got to the Garden, ran in and got tickets for 3 nights. 15th row orchestra, $12.50. I still have the ticket stub.
Thank you, very good job about The Rolling Stones' 1975 tour announcement performance. Greetings!
My dad gave me $9:50 for my 16th birthday to buy a ticket.. I saw The Rolling Stones on June 26, 1975 @ MSG.I remember them on the news on the flat bed on the news.
YES THEY LIVED UP TO THE HYPE !! Kool Posting 🎸
just heard them at Gillette stadium in Boston last week...theyre amazing!!!
@@4465VmanGlad you got to see them. They were sloppy in LA in 75. I bought that CD and it dose have it's moments. The Stones were tight @ MSG when I saw them in 75. I saw Keith in NJ on his birthday in 88 & the Stones in 89. And today @ 80 years of age one of the Glimmer Twins has to drop dead and it would probably be on stage in order to end The Rolling Stones. The Show Must Go On.
If someone told me back when I was a teen during the 1970's that The Rolling Stones would be touring in 2024 I have him netted thrown onto a straightjacket and committed . They'll Be Dead Soon ! LOL🎸 Go Figure LOL !
@@franktheo4755 his 88 or 89 tour behind "talk is cheap" was really amazing so i heard..the album itself is awesome as you know ..i have been reading "life" ... hes had quite a life....he referred to the 75 tour as the "cocaine tour" as he said after each song he and Ronnie wood would do a bump of coke off the top of a back speaker flat area!! maybe thats why they sounded so sloppy!!
@@4465Vman The Stones had to Acclimate Ron Wood's sound and style on lead guitar that Mick Taylor played. The band fine tuned their sound as the 75 tour rolled on. I've listened to other concert footage from 75-76 where you almost couldn't tell it was Wood playing solo's in songs and you'd think it was Taylor.
Yes, Talk Is Cheap is a Masterpiece 🎸
@@franktheo4755 thx for the cool history ..i love Black and Blue (75 or 76) Woods first studio album ...amazing ..yeah taylor was so so talented but burnt out form being in the band had a drug problem and frustrated he didnt have his name on the authors of certain stones songs
This is awesome! Always heard about this but never saw actual footage. Super random thing I noticed at 4:29 you see Malcolm McLaren with some red haired girl in the crowd turn around in the bottom right corner of the screen. He was living in NYC at that time managing the New York Dolls during their final days and would soon manage the Sex Pistols who were forming as a band that same year in London. Didn't expect to see him there!
wow, I was ready to dismiss this as a 'maybe' but it really does look like him - he apparently went back to London sometime in May, but the timing would work out. Good eye!
@@bendyment4164 I know haha totally wasn't ready for that and the timeline definitely fits. I think he was staying in the area too, somewhere below 14th Street.
Great song. They need to put it back on their concert playlist!
Uptight woke fairies find it offensive and are triggered by it.
Unbelievably pathetic.
...and that ladies and gentlemen is rock'n roll 👏👏
Ah, I remember this promo well. I was 16 at the time. Those concert tickets were $15. I believe that they average now at about $135. I think that this also qualifies as Ron Woods first official appearance with The Stones. I traveled with a friend from Miami to Jacksonville, Fla, to catch them on the tour.
We got into the Garden for $30. from a scalper
According to Wikipedia he was an "unofficial" member this year and officially joined the next. Great comment.
@@md091000 Although, I don't think that Ronnie was made a share holder until Bill left in '93. I believe that he was on salary until then. Being a member of an enormous band like that is like being a partner in a corporation. They finally let Ronnie take Bill's share when he left a vacancy.
Such a cool event! Mick channeling something of a Joey Ramone look here!
The other way round surely
Mick Jagger channels the Universe man,, the Ramones were good at what they did of course,, but, ummm yeah, not in the same league at all,,
@@mikelangford7763 oh dear… you missed the point entirely!
The radio announcer was Scott Muni WNEW FM. The girl looking out of that window had a prime view!
What a sound! Fantastic.
I remember this clip. Haven't seen it in years. I've told people about it alot. They always thought I was tripping. Well here's the proof everyone ! A magical time for NYC that wonderful day !
Awesome ! Luv the Stones!
FANTASTIC
Seen them twice that year Toronto and Buffalo best concert ever tour over the America’s 75 ✌️
Nice! I have a clip from the Toronto show up as well.
I recognize that voice of the Great Scott Muni from wnew FM. I was blessed to be raised on New York radio.
Wow, amazing footage. Thanks for sharing this.
Wow wow wow!
Many greets from Germany near Cologne
Been looking for this footage for years !!! My favourite Stones gig of all time Raw Fresh rock and roll !!!! Thanks 🙏
I still have the ticket stub and program
Fantastic concert
When to Gertz department store for tickets
15.00
Remember hearing it on radio at lunchtime
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
"When"?
Dang this great for so many reasons...Stones and old NYC
Omg i love this it’s perfect 😊❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Before Ticket Master.
But " Ticket Tron".
Ron Wood and Billy Preston.
Even now it sounds so good.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for this!
Read about it and saw a photo
but I never thought that it would be available and in colour.
You're welcome! Unfortunately not entirely complete, but probably as good as it'll get unless anything else surfaces
What A Band!
Great job on the editing Ben! 👍🏻🎸this is great!
That was a great idea... of Charlies!
Charlie got the idea from blue musicians who used flatbed trucks to advertise their upcoming shows.
@@cherrybomb2600 He did.
Thank you 🔷 so spontaneous 🔷 so fantastic !!!! Phenomenal Stones 🔷
I remember seeing this on the evening news the same day.
Remember it well. Saw them in June !
Thank you very much Ben!!! Grabbed it from IORR
Glad to share!
Mille merci pour cette vidéo , je l'ai es vu en 2003 à l'Olympia à paris 🤩😍🥰
Stones, feitos para arrasar!
Just great to see the Stones in an impromptu mini concert in these footage in 1975 ; I saw them in the stage they play to announce the tour in 2006 at juliard school in New York I just found out because I was passing by on a bus to go home like 11 pm and my wife and saw a logo ( the tongue) from far away and we deducted that something was going to happen the next day and it did 5 songs and press conference free at noon that day 👍
I was at their concert a few blocks away 1 month later. They were still young.
liar
Essa foi a melhor promoção de álbum musical, de música de todos os tempos! Stones have my soul!
I was lucky enough to witness the rolling stones sing this song at Anfield stadium liverpool 2022,
Awesome video thanks
hellva a promotion for their 1975 tour
i dug how you mentioned trux and the dead c in yr dead write up-looking forward to reading more of you
QBOY!...DOES THIS BRING BACK SOME GREAT MEMORIES.
I WAS 16 AND GOING TO SEE THE STONES AT MSG, WITH MY 2 BUDDIES..
I THINK THE..,IT'S ONLYY R-N-R ALBUM HAD JUST CAME OUT.
THAT WAS A GREAT SHOW & EXPERIENCE!!!THEY HAD A TARZAN SWING AND MICK WOULD SWING OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE,DURNING IT'S ONLYR-N-R THAT WAS THE ONLY TIME I GOT TO SEE THE STONES,😢
BUT,I'LL BE A. FAN TILL I'M GONE.
GREETINGS FROM PATERSON NJ 🤘🏻✌🏻
I saw them on this tour in Colorado about a week after I got out of boot camp. Elton John played on the first couple of songs
I SAW THEM TWICE, 1ST TIME @JFK IN SOUTH PHILLY (1981) TIX WERE $15.75 & '97 BRIDGES TO BABYLON 3RD ROW UP THEIR WITH THE MEDIA, WITH ELECTRIC BRIDGE THAT CAME OUTTA THE STAGE TO 2ND BASE TO DO A THREE SONG SET!! BLUES TRAVELER, OPENED FOR THEM. THE STONES, ROCKED THE ROOF OFF SO TO SPEAK! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😁😁😁😁🤣🤣👍
God damn what a documentary.
This was Charlie's idea because jazz in the old days were promoted on flatbed trucks.
Was online at MSG waiting for tickets at the box office in 1975 and they came by.....Had seats at the point of the Star shaped stage!!! Only built for LA.& NY shows!!
Chicago apparently got that stage as well
Philly had it to
Awww yeah. With Preston on backing vocals, and Dionysian-intense: this was supposed to be a "press conference:" the press told to 'go on the street' where the talking was gone via guitars and amps.
THE WORLD'S GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND WAGON.
As always Stones in the right place at the right time.The world suffers and the Stones play with it like the gods on Mount Olympas
Mick Taylor signed up for this tour but skipped the band just before the Stones hit America. Jagger lamented, "No doubt we can find another guitarist who does his own make-up". The South American gigs of this "1975 Tour of the Americas" got canceled, alas.
I was only 3 days old when this happened.
Fuuuhhh kin yes.
IN 2003 @MSG SECOND SHOW H.B.O. WERE RECORDING IT, I'LL TELL YOU FOR A CONCERT IT WAS THE BEST CAMERA WORK I'VE EVER SEEN. 😂🎸🎸🎸🤣😁👍🤗👍🤗🤣😁😊
Mick Jagger adrenalina allo stato puro. Quanto avrei voluto trovarmi là quel giorno!!!
9:01 those kids are pushing 70 now crazy
That's how ya do it!
2:27...Mick Taylor peering from his window, after wondering where all this noise is coming from.
😂😂
Perfect 💎Creme de la Creme 💎
Me and Stimler went to their show at the Garden a few weeks later in July. They weren't old yet. A ticket cost $30. can't remember if from scalper
much more vigorous than the "famous" Brussels version two years before
I was there!
Very cool!
liar
Outta sight Baby
❤
Bad assery.
Great😘
Saludo y agradezco al sol e invoco solemne a todo,gracias Buen día y bien..
Luego pregunto y eluden la respuesta y se que es cordura , y es la sociedad , exigente , por eso no exijo , solo presumo, asumo y modifico.
Somebody has probably already made this comment, but it was Charlie Watts idea to do this flatbed truck-promo...
Of course the old sm hats guy and his wife didn't like it. What a piece of work.
LET THE MUSIC PLAY¡¡
Charlie's idea like the old New Orleans jazz musicians would promote a show
How can this be almost 50 years ago?
This is just bad ass.
Sibalguien me puede sacar de las dudas ahi fue donde interpretaron Sister Morphina , Hermana Morfina.
Looking a lot like David Johanson there
Hard🎸Roll🤘🍺🥃🍷🍸🍹💉💊🚬🌿😎🏀🖤♥️
FUCK YES
The old guy in the hat.
Would It be posible The Ramones might had taken their imagery from this Mick Jagger's outfit? In 1974 they were not dressing as used to but I do not known when they decided the leather jacket looks.
Im so sad that Elders in video are maybe all died :(
I'm a big stone but nothing will top Beatles apple roof top
