Music & Movies with Martin Bandyke

The Stones and Brian Jones

Join Martin Bandyke, longtime radio host of Ann Arbor's 107one, to view and discuss The Stones and Brian Jones, an exploration of one of the world's greatest rock and roll bands.

The Stones and Brian Jones

This documentary tries to uncover what happened during the early days of The Rolling Stones, touted as one of the world's greatest rock and roll bands. In particular, its focus is on its founding member Brian Jones, who started the band in 1962 but eventually left in 1969, dying just a few months after. Archival footage and interviews with people who knew him shed light on his talent, character, and behavior, both good and unpleasant.
