1972

In the summer of 1972, the Rolling Stones swept across an America still smoldering from the tumult of the ‘60s, bringing their gritty masterpiece Exile on Main St. to the masses.

  • Started out great. Tunred out....meh

    I loved this at first b/c it was about the musice, the band, the songs, the venues. Then is turned in to a rehash of Altamont, the Manson murders, Hugh Heffner and the Playboy club w/ very little music or stories about the shows, performances, etc...........I didn't finish all the episdes.

  • Boston Garden crowd

    As a long time Stones fan I am loving this podcast. However I have a problem with how the description of the Garden crowd was behaving during that 5 hour wait. A far cry from the rowdy, drugged, drunk, angry crowd described here. Not even close.

    I remember a very subdued and bored crowd. Extremely well behaved. Occasionally a game of catch would break out but for the most part people just sat or slept. Ive got the photos of this as well as White speaking to this crowd who were extremely happy ... more

  • Fantastic !

    This is such a great podcast series. You literally feel like you’re part of the 1972 entourage on tour with the Rolling Stones while you’re listening to it. And like I’m sure how the people that were actually involved in the 1972 tour were sad when it ended you’re also sad when this podcast ends.

  • A missed opportunity

    The unearthing of the original interview clips opened up a great opportunity for this to be the definitive account of the ‘72 Tour. The journalists’ recollections are helpful in giving context, but the narration is a big weakness that detracts from the overall credibility. The script seems primarily concerned with reinforcing already well-mythologised aspects of the Stones and is delivered with an often comical cadence that doesn’t convey any emotion relevant the content.
