This is the story of thirty-three days in the summer of `69 during which The Rolling Stones changed forever.

Having started out as a Blues band seven years earlier they became a pop band for a while, flirted with psychedelia but were on the cusp of becoming the `Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World.'

It's the story of how Brian Jones left the band; how Mick Taylor was recruited to replace him; how Brian tragically died days before the band he formed played a free concert in London's Hyde Park for somewhere close to 500,000 people; how Mick Jagger and Keith Richards both missed their old band mates funeral. Mick was in Australia filming Ned Kelly - his performance recorded in numerous unseen photographs.
