Conceived by the Stones and director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, the film captures “the world’s greatest rock-and-roll band” at their peak in vibrant color alongside extraordinary performances by the Who, Jethro Tull, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull, Yoko Ono, as well as the Dirty Mac, a supergroup made up of John Lennon, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, and Mitch Mitchell.
