Ladies and Gentleman: The Rolling Stones

The lucky people of Toronto have an opportunity to experience this great film tonight.

Brad Wheeler reports in the Globe and Mail, "Rollin Binzer's Ladies and Gentleman: The Rolling Stones, receives a screening tonight at Toronto's Bloor Cinema (on Jagger's 64th birthday). Captured is a band not only at the top of their own game, but at the top of everybody's game."

"It was a really strange time in America," Greenfield explains. "Maybe it's always a strange time in America. But when the Stones had toured previously, it was full-on counterculture, to hippies. Who else would see them?

"But now it was starting to change. They were becoming more of an interest to mainstream audiences. The glam stuff was beginning to happen, and the seventies were really starting to pump up. The [sixties] revolution was over, and the sexual and drug stuff was just starting to boil over."

In the early 1970s, audiences were changing, and so was the business of playing to them. The 1972 tour was the highest-grossing tour ever at that point; arena rock, which led to stadium shows, was born.

"It was the turning point in the history of rock 'n' roll," Greenfield says, "and the Stones were doing the turning."
