The Rolling Stones’ 17 performances from The Ed Sullivan Show are set to be released Nov. 1 through Universal Music Enterprises and Sofa Entertainment, Billboard reported. The self-explanatory title for the set is Six Ed Sullivan Shows Starring The Rolling Stones, and it includes never-before released performances from the band. There’s also an abridged version that will be released Oct. 4, which includes four of the shows.
“The best Rolling Stones TV performances are on these shows,” Andrew Solt, the executive producer of the sets, told Billboard. “On the concert films and on other shows you don’t get the same production values, and here the sound is as good as the visuals. … Groups knew they would appear in front of 35 million people so they rehearsed and made sure they would look good before going on. Knowing they were playing live on TV made them do their best.”
The full shows will feature performances from Ella Fitzgerald, Tom Jones, Louis Armstrong, Rodney Dangerfield and Joan Rivers. The shows, which span from 1964 to 1969, include performances of classics like “Time Is On My Side,” “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Gimme Shelter” and “Honky Tonk Woman.” You can see a preview of the set below.
