At the age of 14, director Nick Broomfield met guitarist Brian Jones by chance on the train. As one of the founding members of The Rolling Stones in 1962, Jones was at the height of his success, with the world at his feet.
This film highlights the seven turbulent years until 1969, when Brian Jones had to leave the band. Shortly afterwards he drowned in his swimming pool.
Through revealing interviews with all the key players and archive footage released for the first time, the renowned filmmaker investigates in The Stones and Brian Jones how the creative musical genius Brian Jones disappeared into the shadows of history. In the period between 1962 and 1969, Brian stated Jones has been completely unhinged and unpredictable for a few years now, something he probably couldn't have imagined at the start of his career. With his sex appeal and charisma, he was the undisputed bandleader, even if he wasn't the lead singer. Alcohol and drugs put an end to this and in the mid-60s Mick Jagger and Keith Richards formed the creative core of the band.
The documentary tells the personal story of Brian Jones, initially the key to the success of one of the biggest rock 'n roll bands in the world. The extensive archive material, in which Nick Broomfield was advised by ex-Stones bassist Bill Wyman, shows the freedom and exuberance of the 1960s. Broomfield also sheds light on the relationships and rivalries within The Rolling Stones in those early years.
