Rolling Stones - 1965-08-20 - London, UK (FM)

While The Beatles nay have gotten most of the attention tin the summer of 1965 thanks to their historic performance at Shea Stadium, their "rivals", the Rolling Stones, were having a quite a year as well. On August 20, 1965, 49 years ago today, the Rolling Stones taped their final BBC performance, 6 songs that would be broadcast in 2 shows on August 30 and September 18. The Stones had reached a point in their career where they were out growing these local BBC radio broadcasts. Satisfaction, released in May, had become their first number #1 single in the US and they would follow that with Get Off Of My Cloud, which also hit in top spot in September. The band was relying less on covers of R&B tunes and more on the song writing of Jagger and Richards. In fact, their next album, Aftermath, recorded in December 1965, would be their first that featured only compositions by the Glimmer Twins. Download this FM recording of their August 20th BBC session, therefore, to hear a farewell to the past (4 cover tunes) and an introduction to the future (2 Jagger/Richard originals including Satisfaction.)
