Product Description

Virtually every Rolling Stones' hit of the 60's was performed on "The Ed Sullivan Show." An appearance in the spotlight on Sullivan's variety show (35 million viewers) sent fans racing to record stores the next morning to buy the songs first heard on his television show. These musical gems have never been seen in the context of the full Sullivan shows that were originally broadcast live.

Now fans can see The Rolling Stones as they've seldom seen them - young, edgy and electrifying - and on their way to conquering the world! 4 Ed Sullivan Shows starring The Rolling Stones is a 2 DVD Set featuring 12 of The Rolling Stones' classic performances on The Ed Sullivan Show. Also included are timeless performances by many other artists as well as original commercials.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love The Stones on Sullivan September 30, 2011

By TimJ

Can't wait for this release on Tuesday! Some of my favorite songs are on this collection including Paint It Black & Gimme Shelter. The best part is seeing Mick, Keith, Brian and Charlie when they were so young and still making a name for themselves. This is a great collection as we approach almost the 50th anniversary of The Rolling Stones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wait a few weeks and get ALL 6 SHOWS!! October 1, 2011

By Ton

Only 4 strs, although this is very important, historical and superb material. But with a complete set on the way that includes ALL SIX episodes with the Stones it seems a bit silly to buy this one now, you either miss out on some fantastic tracks (Around & Around, Time is on my Side, Gimme Shelter, Love in Vain, Honky tonk Women) and an extra booklet with many photo's and a ton of other entertaining material or will find yourself buying that one as well and find that this first release is a bit superfluous.

The extra star goes to the other set, for completeness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stones Forever Young November 13, 2011

I really love these Ed Sullivan sets. The complete shows with commericals
give you the feeling of excitement the audience felt at home and in the studio
during that time frame.
I'm a bit confused why they have packaged these programs in 3,4 or 6 shows. Maybe they thought the Stones would be hard to market. That can't be true, just look at how successful Keith Richards book as been!
It's still great rock n roll history, and Stones fans will not be disappointed.
Oh..I bought the 4 show pack and I'm still kicking myself...go for the 6 pack.
