The Rolling Stones perform on Ready, Steady, Go! November 22, 1963. After their performance they hear President John F. Kennedy was assassinated...
November 22, 1963.
Most
of us remember that day. Not because The Rolling Stones made their
second appearance on the teen show Ready, Steady Go! Because the
excitement was dampened by the shocking news they heard after their
performance.
President John F. Kennedy had been shot in Dallas Texas.
The following items are extremely rare. A historically significant set of Stones signatures on a very rare and unique item. A ticket from that Ready, Steady, Go! show.
Signed on that very day.
Some background on Ready, Steady Go!
Ready Steady Go! (or simply RSG!) was a pioneering British rock/pop music television program which used to air every Friday evening from August 1963 until 23 December 1966.
It was conceived by Elkan Allan, head of Rediffusion TV. Allan’s intention was to produce a light entertainment program that broke away from the “bums and tits” style of light entertainment being transmitted by ATV, at that time. The program was produced without scenery or costumes and with a minimum of choreography or make-up. Allan recruited a fellow journalist, Francis Hitching, as producer. Hitching was to become a major figure in the world of light entertainment in the ’60s. Robert Fleming was the first director, followed by the distinguished documentary director Rollo Gamble then Michael Lindsey Hogg, Daphne Shadwell and Peter Croft.
Michael Lindsey Hogg later went on to work with the Stones on several other projects including their video “Respectable.”
The show went out early on Friday evenings with the line “The weekend starts here!”, and was introduced by the Surfaris’ “Wipe Out” – later replaced by Manfred Mann’s “5-4-3-2-1″ (later replaced by Manfred Mann’s “Hubble Bubble, Toil and Trouble”). It was more youth-orientated and informal than its BBC rival (from 1964), Top of the Pops. It was particularly notable for featuring the audience prominently as dancers and for the close interaction of artists and audience.
Artists appeared on different mini-stages, sometimes on studio gantries and stairs, or on the main floor in the case of solo artists, closely surrounded by the audience members. The producers would choose the audience themselves by going round the London clubs, picking out the best or the most fashionably dressed dancers, and handing them invitations to the next show. This ensured a very hip audience who were in tune with the artists.
This rare complimentary entrance ticket dated November 22, 1963 measures just over 6” x 4” and has been fully autographed on the reverse by all 5 members of The Rolling Stones.
Accompanying
the signed complimentary ticket is a very rare dancer badge, this badge
would have allowed the recipient to dance at the front of the hall near
to the performing Artists.
The complimentary ticket and the dancer badge comes in their original brown envelope with the recipients name on the front.
Note -The dancer badge was crossed through on exit of the show so it couldn’t be used again.
An incredibly rare set of early Stones signatures, from a very sad day in history.
Peace,
Gary Rocks.

Rolling Stones to meet for secret sessions which could mean their first album in a decade ...
Mick Jagger and the band will be working through song ideas in a Los Angeles studio and the sessions could lead to the much-anticipated blues album their fans have long hoped for.
My insider said: “The guys are getting together shortly to go through ideas. They have tour rehearsals too but all feel the time is right for a new album.
“They have talked about a blues record for a long time. It would be very different for the band and Keith Richards is very keen.
“They’re in great shape at the moment and excited to see what comes out of the sessions but the approach is very loose.
“They’ve got the luxury of not having a record label demanding a release so they can take their time and get it just right.”
News of their secret get-together comes after Mick, 71, admitted he would love to do another album and revealed he has been working on song ideas at home.
The Stones’ last release A Bigger Bang was in 2005 and fans have held on to the hope the Brit superstars would be back.
In a recent interview, guitarist Keith hinted he shared Mick’s enthusiasm ahead of their 15-date tour of North America.
Keith said: “I’d like to get the boys back in the studio. Anything can happen.”
He said they had long harboured plans for a blues record, adding: “Hey, maybe it’s just a matter of time.”
There’s a song right there, lads.
The Rolling Stones From The Vault: The Marquee Live In 1971- set for relese...
On April 8, 2015, the Rolling Stones and Eagle Rock Entertainment announced the release of "From The Vault: The Marquee
– Live In 1971," a DVD/digital recording of the Stones' 1971
performance at the Marquee in London. "From The Vault: The Marquee –
Live In 1971" will be released on June 23, 2015. Here are the details
from the press release:
The Rolling Stones
"From The Vault: The Marquee – Live In 1971"
Released June 23, 2015
• Sought-after club performance released for the first time on DVD in four formats
• Rare gig from The Rolling Stones in 1971 filmed at The Marquee Club
• A classic, must-own performance
• Part of the “From The Vault” series from The Rolling Stones archive
A sought-after, rare club performance from The Rolling Stones in 1971 filmed at London’s iconic Marquee Club will finally see the light of day, after almost two decades of being stored away in an attic. "The Rolling Stones From The Vault: The Marquee – Live in 1971" will be released on DVD in four formats and on iTunes via Eagle Rock on June 23, 2015.
This remarkable performance was filmed for US television in 1971, shortly after The Rolling Stones had completed their 1971 Farewell Tour of the UK, and a month before the release of the album Sticky Fingers. The gig marked the first time tracks “Brown Sugar,” “Dead Flowers,” “Bitch,” and the rarely performed “I Got The Blues” were showcased live; four tracks taken from the Sticky Fingers album. The line-up at this time was Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman.
The show was an intimate, rare club appearance and very little footage has been released, until now. Part of the “From The Vault” series of live concerts from the band’s archive, "The Rolling Stones From The Vault: The Marquee – Live In 1971" is a must-own DVD for any Stones fan, featuring carefully restored footage and sound mixed to perfection by Bob Clearmountain, including 5.1 surround sound on the DVD and SD Blu-ray formats.
The release of "The Rolling Stones From The Vault: The Marquee – Live In 1971" coincides with the special edition of album Sticky Fingers, and includes alternative takes of “I Got The Blues” and “Bitch,” plus a Top of the Pops performance of “Brown Sugar” from 1971.

The Rolling Stones contemplating Sticky Fingers for tour...
The iconic rockers will head out on a 15-date North American tour in May and are thinking about treating fans to the entirety of the celebrated 1971 album, which features tracks including 'Brown Sugar' and 'Wild Horses', at the shows.
Speaking about the prospect, frontman Sir Mick Jagger said: ''We're floating the idea of playing the whole album.
''At the very least, we'll play the songs we don't normally play.''
Popular singles from the record - which will be reissued in Deluxe and Super Deluxe editions in May - are regular set highlights for the group, although the band haven't played 'You Gotta Move' live since 1976, while 'Sister Morphine', 'I Got The Blues' and 'Moonlight Mile' have not been performed since the 1990s.
However, the 71-year-old musician is unsure whether it is a good idea as he doesn't want the stadiums filled with fans to get bored by their slower songs.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: ''It's a really great album, but it has a lot of slow songs. Normally in a show we'd just do one or two ballads. 'Sticky Fingers' has about five slow songs. I'm just worried that it might be problematic in stadiums. Maybe we'd play it and everyone would say, 'Great,' but maybe they'll get restless and start going to get drinks.''

The group - which also features Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts - will kick off their 'ZIP CODE Tour' in San Diego before ending in Quebec in July.
