Superb and Intimate Story of the Rolling Stones, I thoroughly enjoyed it especially because the normal annoying "talking heads" are used in narration voice over and don't interrupt the images. You are told who is providing the insight with a side graphic displaying the name of the voice over.
The only thing I would have liked was more discussion regarding their songs and their writing. This is a sad omission and surprising given that the narrator and the beginning makes a point that if it wasn't for their songs they would have sunk without a trace. There is a poignent moment where the appearing on a show and the host walks up to Brian Jones and makes the statement, "So you are the writer of all the songs" and he just says "not really" and the host ignores him and starts talking to Jagger and Richards.
