3
00:00:53,588 --> 00:00:54,756
Something good.
4
00:02:33,187 --> 00:02:34,722
This is the last day
of our rehearsal.
5
00:02:34,889 --> 00:02:37,225
We've been rehearsing
for two weeks.
6
00:02:37,392 --> 00:02:38,872
Working what numbers
we're gonna do...
7
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,029
There's always a bit
of rust to rub off.
8
00:02:43,665 --> 00:02:45,967
Rehearsal's a big word
for bonding.
9
00:02:48,970 --> 00:02:51,239
When you sit and play
the first song
10
00:02:52,073 --> 00:02:55,810
it's the same feeling
as it was when I first joined.
11
00:02:57,111 --> 00:02:59,347
We haven't seen each
other for a while and it's fresh
12
00:02:59,547 --> 00:03:04,285
like reuniting and lots of it
comes magically flooding back.
13
00:03:07,255 --> 00:03:09,557
Kind of feeling when you
rehearse the last couple of days
14
00:03:09,724 --> 00:03:11,793
all it really needs
is an audience.
15
00:03:11,959 --> 00:03:12,959
Yeah.
16
00:03:24,272 --> 00:03:27,508
So this tour we're gonna
visit nine Latin American cities
17
00:03:27,675 --> 00:03:31,145
and hopefully the tenth that we
haven't yet visited
18
00:03:31,312 --> 00:03:32,547
is gonna be Havana, Cuba.
19
00:03:33,314 --> 00:03:35,125
To try and put on a big show,
that is really hard
20
00:03:35,149 --> 00:03:36,718
but we're gonna try
our best to do it.
21
00:03:43,524 --> 00:03:46,494
To see the world from
a Rolling Stones point of view,
22
00:03:47,028 --> 00:03:49,197
nobody else sees the world
the way we do.
23
00:03:49,630 --> 00:03:51,666
It's the explorer in us,
I think.
24
00:03:51,833 --> 00:03:54,135
The Christopher Columbus
in all of us
25
00:03:54,268 --> 00:03:56,904
that wants to see
what's round the corner
26
00:03:57,071 --> 00:03:59,006
and is it round or is it flat?
27
00:04:02,810 --> 00:04:04,812
Stand by.
Stand by, everybody.
28
00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:07,014
At the start of the
tour it's like being
29
00:04:07,148 --> 00:04:12,920
on a tightrope that, once you've
set foot on it, that rope widens
30
00:04:13,788 --> 00:04:16,491
and becomes a bridge
you can run across.
31
00:04:16,758 --> 00:04:19,160
House lights go, please.
House lights go.
32
00:04:19,327 --> 00:04:23,798
Ladies and gentlemen,
The Rolling Stones!
33
00:06:34,195 --> 00:06:36,631
Present arms!
34
00:06:44,038 --> 00:06:45,806
A lot of the Latin American
countries
35
00:06:45,973 --> 00:06:49,377
in the '60s and '70s were
under military dictatorships.
36
00:06:49,777 --> 00:06:51,445
They had censorship of songs
37
00:06:51,646 --> 00:06:54,315
and basically styles of music
they didn't like.
38
00:06:55,016 --> 00:06:56,296
The Rolling Stones,
being part of
39
00:06:56,417 --> 00:06:58,853
this '60s kind
of rebellious movement,
40
00:06:58,986 --> 00:07:02,290
this idea of freedom of
expression and sexuality
41
00:07:02,456 --> 00:07:04,926
was an anathema
to a lot of these regimes.
42
00:07:05,092 --> 00:07:08,329
In several countries,
rock 'n' roll was banned.
43
00:07:08,496 --> 00:07:10,231
The minute you ban something,
44
00:07:11,065 --> 00:07:13,567
you're gonna create
a movement around it.
45
00:07:14,402 --> 00:07:16,871
Anything that smacks
of rebellion,
46
00:07:17,638 --> 00:07:19,373
they sort of take to heart.
47
00:07:29,417 --> 00:07:30,417
Thank you!
48
00:07:38,693 --> 00:07:40,361
When Obama started
to free up relations,
49
00:07:40,561 --> 00:07:43,864
it seemed an obvious thing on a
tour of Latin America to do Cuba
50
00:07:44,031 --> 00:07:45,533
so we started to investigate it.
51
00:07:45,666 --> 00:07:49,937
But the idea of doing it
and the actual organising it
52
00:07:50,071 --> 00:07:51,806
is somewhat
two different things.
53
00:07:51,973 --> 00:07:53,574
Cuba. Cuba, Cuba, Cuba.
54
00:07:53,708 --> 00:07:56,310
Every single day.
It's all about Cuba.
55
00:07:56,477 --> 00:07:57,988
I wake up in the middle of the
night and go,
56
00:07:58,012 --> 00:08:00,815
"Oh. I fucking forgot.
Oh, shit!"
57
00:08:00,948 --> 00:08:03,584
People have done theatres,
people have done small things.
58
00:08:03,751 --> 00:08:07,121
But to put The Rolling Stones
there and do a free show,
59
00:08:07,722 --> 00:08:10,958
nothing has happened like this
in Cuba before. Ever.
60
00:08:11,125 --> 00:08:11,926
Ever.
61
00:08:12,093 --> 00:08:15,029
Let me just... This is Adam.
He's gonna lead this project.
62
00:08:15,796 --> 00:08:17,365
He has considerable experience
63
00:08:17,565 --> 00:08:19,200
in dealing with communist
governments.
64
00:08:19,367 --> 00:08:22,803
He opened China for us and now
he's gonna open Cuba for us.
65
00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:24,705
This is a place where
66
00:08:24,872 --> 00:08:26,632
they don't function
and operate the way we do
67
00:08:26,707 --> 00:08:28,676
so e-mail and phone calls
and that kind of stuff.
68
00:08:28,843 --> 00:08:29,977
It's just not the same.
69
00:08:30,144 --> 00:08:34,448
This has gone up to the very top
of the food chain. Raúl Castro.
70
00:08:34,849 --> 00:08:38,319
They look at this as almost
a piece of government policy.
71
00:08:38,486 --> 00:08:42,256
That this event will be
something that can symbolise,
72
00:08:42,390 --> 00:08:45,893
in a very positive way,
that the country is opening up.
73
00:08:46,027 --> 00:08:47,895
Adam, I know they're saying
the right things
74
00:08:48,029 --> 00:08:50,349
and they want it to happen.
But in a way that's irrelevant.
75
00:08:50,464 --> 00:08:52,400
We know.
We want it to happen too.
76
00:08:52,933 --> 00:08:55,803
We are going to have to, within
a very short space of time,
77
00:08:55,970 --> 00:09:00,374
take a view as to whether
the show is feasible.
78
00:09:00,574 --> 00:09:03,177
In terms of next steps,
we're on a very tight timeline.
79
00:09:03,310 --> 00:09:05,880
That's probably our biggest
constraint which we're aware of.
80
00:09:06,047 --> 00:09:08,349
So decisions are gonna
have to be made imminently.
81
00:09:08,682 --> 00:09:11,185
We can't talk about this,
even to our own staff yet.
82
00:09:11,352 --> 00:09:13,792
When it's time to announce it
to everybody else we'll do that.
83
00:09:13,954 --> 00:09:17,291
Otherwise the rumours and
everything will crush us.
84
00:09:17,792 --> 00:09:20,227
Every day that we lose on this,
makes it harder.
85
00:09:31,806 --> 00:09:34,842
Argentina is the first
South American country
86
00:09:35,009 --> 00:09:37,144
the Stones played
and this is where
87
00:09:37,311 --> 00:09:40,481
we really got in contact
with this continent.
88
00:09:41,682 --> 00:09:43,117
During the military dictatorship
89
00:09:43,284 --> 00:09:46,120
and then the Falklands War,
we couldn't play there.
90
00:09:46,554 --> 00:09:50,424
In our absence, a kind of cult,
a kind of fashion emerged,
91
00:09:50,624 --> 00:09:53,494
called the 'Rolingas',
dedicated to The Stones.
92
00:10:08,075 --> 00:10:10,344
The Stones are a religion here.
93
00:10:10,678 --> 00:10:13,280
They're so much more
than just a band.
94
00:10:14,048 --> 00:10:16,250
It's like an urban tribe.
95
00:10:16,417 --> 00:10:20,554
Rolinga culture is uniquely
Argentinian.
96
00:10:21,655 --> 00:10:25,025
I can't really explain it, it
flows, runs through your veins.
97
00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:32,566
This is our way of life,
it won't go out of fashion.
98
00:10:33,334 --> 00:10:34,435
His name is Jagger.
99
00:10:34,635 --> 00:10:37,071
He is called Jagger
after his majesty.
100
00:10:37,271 --> 00:10:41,075
The person who taught us
how to be.
101
00:10:43,210 --> 00:10:47,014
When I was 11, I used to look at
the tongue logos on walls.
102
00:10:47,148 --> 00:10:49,150
I used to ask,
'What is this? What is this?'
103
00:10:49,550 --> 00:10:51,051
And when they showed
what it was,
104
00:10:51,385 --> 00:10:53,754
that was the best thing that
ever happened to me.
105
00:10:55,055 --> 00:10:56,590
I feel proud of what I am
106
00:10:56,757 --> 00:10:58,468
and the fact that people
look at me and say,
107
00:10:58,492 --> 00:11:01,195
'Oh look, there goes
the Rolinga'
108
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:03,931
I love it, I love it!
109
00:11:05,065 --> 00:11:07,401
- I love it!
- I love it!
110
00:11:21,615 --> 00:11:23,918
The first time we came,
it was unbelievable.
111
00:11:24,084 --> 00:11:28,889
It was like a large version of
the '60s. It was mad.
112
00:11:29,657 --> 00:11:31,926
And it's been like that
ever since.
113
00:11:35,563 --> 00:11:37,398
We are at
the Four Seasons Hotel.
114
00:11:37,998 --> 00:11:39,543
We are going to see the best
band in the world,
115
00:11:39,567 --> 00:11:40,334
The Rolling Stones.
116
00:11:40,467 --> 00:11:42,803
We're here because everyone
says they always stay here.
117
00:11:43,270 --> 00:11:45,839
Let's hope they come out,
that's why we're all here.
118
00:12:07,528 --> 00:12:08,996
I've been here
almost three days.
119
00:12:09,163 --> 00:12:10,931
Incredible.
I slept here yesterday.
120
00:12:15,402 --> 00:12:19,173
Charlie Watts is in the last
window, in that balcony.
121
00:12:19,873 --> 00:12:22,710
And we've been told that
Keith Richards is in this one,
122
00:12:22,876 --> 00:12:23,876
this window.
123
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:29,216
Gentlemen, come on in.
124
00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:31,118
I was hoping
it was room service.
125
00:12:33,921 --> 00:12:35,155
Our humble abode.
126
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:39,293
To me, if I'm in Argentina,
this is home.
127
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:43,364
The temporary home,
which is not too shabby, really.
128
00:12:44,465 --> 00:12:45,566
Come on.
129
00:12:47,034 --> 00:12:48,969
Ah, had a restless night.
130
00:12:51,772 --> 00:12:54,208
I think these are
the windows to see.
131
00:12:57,678 --> 00:12:59,046
Let's see what we can do.
132
00:13:04,251 --> 00:13:05,586
Richards!
133
00:13:13,727 --> 00:13:18,332
The wake-up call is, "Richards,
Richards, Olé Olé Olé."
134
00:13:18,866 --> 00:13:22,069
And you, "Oh, well.
Time to get up, I guess."
135
00:13:22,603 --> 00:13:26,373
For some reason, they've always
been great supporters of ours.
136
00:13:44,224 --> 00:13:46,093
We are at
the '40 x 5 Tributo' bar.
137
00:13:48,562 --> 00:13:51,965
We are with friends
on this very special day.
138
00:13:52,266 --> 00:13:56,437
We're going to what could be
the last Rolling Stones concert
139
00:13:56,637 --> 00:13:57,637
in our country.
140
00:13:57,771 --> 00:13:59,573
That's why we invited
our friends to share
141
00:13:59,707 --> 00:14:03,043
this 'Beggars Banquet'
for all of us.
142
00:14:03,544 --> 00:14:07,348
Argentinians don't like being
told how to behave.
143
00:14:07,881 --> 00:14:10,884
I think The Rolling Stones music
144
00:14:11,051 --> 00:14:14,054
is something we captured
and made our own.
145
00:14:16,957 --> 00:14:21,028
It's a beautiful relationship
we have with them.
146
00:15:01,602 --> 00:15:02,770
It is like a circus.
147
00:15:03,404 --> 00:15:06,373
It's a circus we've made,
by the way.
148
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:09,610
We built the ring and
the tent and without it,
149
00:15:09,777 --> 00:15:11,845
we'd have eight people
sitting there.
150
00:15:12,346 --> 00:15:14,214
After 50 years,
they've kind of got used to
151
00:15:14,348 --> 00:15:17,251
some mad crowds and mad fans.
152
00:15:17,751 --> 00:15:21,588
But you'd expect after
the fourth or fifth visit
153
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:23,590
for things to die down.
154
00:16:02,429 --> 00:16:05,833
He just saw Mick
in the car and it's amazing.
155
00:16:06,333 --> 00:16:07,868
He can't believe it.
156
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:11,271
It's very emotional.
157
00:18:11,291 --> 00:18:12,291
Come on!
158
00:18:18,131 --> 00:18:19,131
Come on!
159
00:18:26,073 --> 00:18:27,107
One more time!
160
00:18:58,639 --> 00:18:59,639
Do it one more time.
161
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:02,636
We're very lucky because
when I first joined The Stones
162
00:20:02,803 --> 00:20:04,971
you had like 20 people
in the club.
163
00:20:05,439 --> 00:20:08,008
Here we are,
whatever age we are,
164
00:20:08,275 --> 00:20:10,277
and there's all these people
cheering.
165
00:20:10,644 --> 00:20:14,448
You can't help but get
drawn into the crowd.
166
00:20:14,648 --> 00:20:17,551
It is so enthralling
and sometimes,
167
00:20:17,718 --> 00:20:20,487
they're louder than the band
and if they jump up and down,
168
00:20:20,687 --> 00:20:23,690
I've found myself
just jumping up and down.
169
00:20:23,824 --> 00:20:27,194
I use muscles that
I don't even know I had.
170
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,496
They bring out
another part of you.
171
00:20:49,015 --> 00:20:52,052
Ten years is far too long.
172
00:20:54,121 --> 00:20:56,289
Finally, we meet again.
173
00:20:57,958 --> 00:21:01,428
Argentinians, I don't know,
somehow they've woven us
174
00:21:01,628 --> 00:21:05,132
into their incredible
warp and weft.
175
00:21:06,533 --> 00:21:08,568
And we're part of it.
176
00:21:08,735 --> 00:21:13,440
And it makes me
quite humble, actually.
177
00:21:30,690 --> 00:21:32,893
We are Blues Motel.
178
00:21:33,426 --> 00:21:38,198
We are a band connected with the
Rolinga or Stones rock scene.
179
00:21:42,602 --> 00:21:45,872
Unfortunately, during the
dictatorship here in Argentina,
180
00:21:46,106 --> 00:21:51,511
radio wasn't allowed to
broadcast English music.
181
00:21:53,213 --> 00:21:54,614
When democracy returned,
182
00:21:54,748 --> 00:21:59,586
it allowed the broadcasting of
foreign music.
183
00:21:59,786 --> 00:22:03,924
And that made it easier for us
to listen to those sounds.
184
00:22:13,033 --> 00:22:15,202
In 1995, for the first time
185
00:22:15,402 --> 00:22:17,671
The Rolling Stones arrived
in Argentina.
186
00:22:18,171 --> 00:22:20,607
That moment was crucial
187
00:22:20,774 --> 00:22:25,879
because it was the first contact
Rolingas had
188
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,348
with The Rolling Stones.
189
00:22:29,616 --> 00:22:31,918
After the arrival of
The Rolling Stones,
190
00:22:32,285 --> 00:22:33,653
more bands started coming out.
191
00:22:33,787 --> 00:22:35,989
Many bands took the baton of
Stones rock
192
00:22:36,189 --> 00:22:38,024
and started spreading it.
193
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,530
We are proud to represent that
style of music.
194
00:22:43,763 --> 00:22:45,398
Stones music.
195
00:22:50,904 --> 00:22:51,904
Come in.
196
00:22:53,173 --> 00:22:54,173
- Hi, guys.
- Hi.
197
00:22:54,274 --> 00:22:55,842
- How you doing?
- Hey, Mick.
198
00:22:56,209 --> 00:22:58,912
- How are you? Hola.
- How are you?
199
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:00,247
Very well, thank you.
200
00:23:00,614 --> 00:23:02,849
- You came to the show in 1995.
- Yeah.
201
00:23:03,016 --> 00:23:04,985
Yes. And it was a great show.
202
00:23:05,151 --> 00:23:08,655
- In the River Plate.
- In River Plate Stadium.
203
00:23:09,556 --> 00:23:13,426
And when it starts
'Not Fade Away', it's like...
204
00:23:14,761 --> 00:23:17,664
Argentina. Started fire.
On fire.
205
00:23:17,831 --> 00:23:18,632
Yeah, it was great.
206
00:23:18,798 --> 00:23:21,134
When we arrived at the airport,
it was very crazy.
207
00:23:21,268 --> 00:23:23,603
People following us in the cars.
Beep-beep.
208
00:23:23,770 --> 00:23:25,839
- Like the '60s.
- A bit like that.
209
00:23:26,006 --> 00:23:28,008
Kinda like the '60s. Exactly.
210
00:23:28,174 --> 00:23:30,744
And when we did the first show,
211
00:23:30,911 --> 00:23:34,614
with all the audience pogo-ing
like this all at once.
212
00:23:34,748 --> 00:23:37,751
It's fantastic.
Oh, it was really great.
213
00:23:38,118 --> 00:23:41,154
When we play in Argentina, it's
kind of a special place for us.
214
00:23:41,321 --> 00:23:43,823
It's kind of different playing
here than anywhere else.
215
00:26:11,004 --> 00:26:12,772
It's a very emotional thing
216
00:26:12,906 --> 00:26:14,674
to be in the middle of
that crowd.
217
00:26:17,043 --> 00:26:19,913
But it's not really you
that they're looking at.
218
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,415
It's an act out version of you.
219
00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:26,853
You try to live a more or less
life like everybody else.
220
00:26:26,986 --> 00:26:30,490
And it's just a kind of thing
that you do on your work day
221
00:26:30,690 --> 00:26:33,960
and then you come back
and you're just you.
222
00:26:56,116 --> 00:26:57,750
Especially in a country
like Argentina.
223
00:26:57,917 --> 00:26:59,652
You're very aware
that you're on.
224
00:26:59,786 --> 00:27:02,388
You can't just walk out of the
hotel and go shopping
225
00:27:02,589 --> 00:27:04,224
or walking or go to a café.
226
00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:06,993
You can't really do that
in Buenos Aires, really.
227
00:27:07,694 --> 00:27:10,597
So you have to make
much more effort to get out.
228
00:27:11,531 --> 00:27:13,600
It's ridiculous, at any age.
229
00:27:13,833 --> 00:27:16,202
You know, ducking down
at the backs of fans and things,
230
00:27:16,769 --> 00:27:20,974
and escaping people chasing you
for autographs and things.
231
00:27:22,275 --> 00:27:24,210
But that's part of your gig.
232
00:27:25,211 --> 00:27:27,046
So I might as well
just enjoy it.
233
00:27:33,353 --> 00:27:34,754
I was always
a bit of a performer
234
00:27:34,921 --> 00:27:38,825
in these family get-togethers
that people used to have.
235
00:27:39,792 --> 00:27:42,495
So you all had to do something
and I used to do dances
236
00:27:42,695 --> 00:27:44,864
and impersonations,
that was my thing.
237
00:27:45,331 --> 00:27:49,202
But I think in that way of life,
you weren't allowed to be shy.
238
00:27:49,936 --> 00:27:52,438
When I went on stage, I knew
something was happening.
239
00:27:52,639 --> 00:27:57,076
I didn't quite intellectually
and rationally figure it out
240
00:27:57,443 --> 00:28:00,280
but I knew that
I was doing something
241
00:28:00,446 --> 00:28:02,248
that was exciting the audience.
242
00:28:02,549 --> 00:28:05,952
So what I learnt in
the early '60s on my own
243
00:28:06,352 --> 00:28:09,355
and with the band about how
to get an audience going,
244
00:28:09,556 --> 00:28:12,592
nearly all of that's
still with me now.
245
00:28:24,204 --> 00:28:26,372
Nobody's ever done this in Cuba.
246
00:28:27,574 --> 00:28:30,610
There's no point of reference
for what we're trying to do.
247
00:28:30,944 --> 00:28:32,312
There's a lot of concern,
248
00:28:32,745 --> 00:28:35,748
I think primarily about
how to logistically pull it off.
249
00:28:36,249 --> 00:28:38,685
Hopefully, everybody
will stay patient.
250
00:28:39,052 --> 00:28:41,888
Hopefully everybody will believe
this is doable because it is.
251
00:28:42,055 --> 00:28:44,390
But it needs to be done in a way
252
00:28:44,591 --> 00:28:46,426
that's different than anybody
has ever done.
253
00:28:46,626 --> 00:28:50,830
And it needs to run at the pace
the locals move at.
254
00:28:51,598 --> 00:28:53,399
We're dealing with a country
255
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,969
that hasn't had diplomatic
relations with other countries,
256
00:28:56,269 --> 00:29:00,106
has never hosted
a concert of this size.
257
00:29:00,773 --> 00:29:03,276
It's not a guarantee
until it's a signed contract.
258
00:29:04,911 --> 00:29:08,348
We're getting into what we might
term heart attack territory now.
259
00:29:08,748 --> 00:29:13,586
Come 15th February, we have to
ship the entire stage,
260
00:29:13,886 --> 00:29:16,089
all our equipment from Belgium.
261
00:29:16,456 --> 00:29:18,391
We're a bit on a knife edge
until we know that
262
00:29:18,591 --> 00:29:20,627
the Cuban government
have signed their contract.
263
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,528
I wake up every morning thinking
264
00:29:22,695 --> 00:29:25,265
about this and go to sleep
and I'm sweating bullets.
265
00:29:25,531 --> 00:29:29,235
We're just going on faith.
I don't know how else to do it.
266
00:29:29,736 --> 00:29:31,070
I sort of have this philosophy,
267
00:29:31,237 --> 00:29:33,773
'Maintain a positive attitude,
abolish all fear'.
268
00:29:34,374 --> 00:29:35,734
I'm maintaining
a positive attitude
269
00:29:35,842 --> 00:29:37,443
but I am scared to death.
270
00:29:45,852 --> 00:29:48,554
On this tour, there are places
we've never been before.
271
00:29:48,721 --> 00:29:50,601
One of them's Uruguay.
We've never played there.
272
00:29:50,757 --> 00:29:53,893
It's near Argentina but we've
never played in Montevideo.
273
00:30:20,153 --> 00:30:21,721
The thing is about
when you're on tour,
274
00:30:21,888 --> 00:30:24,324
if you're open-minded and you
wanna go out of the hotel
275
00:30:24,490 --> 00:30:26,993
and you force yourself a little
bit to be free and easy,
276
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,128
you come across these
really fun things.
277
00:30:31,230 --> 00:30:33,766
About two in the morning
we drove out of town
278
00:30:33,933 --> 00:30:36,202
and we met
this family of drummers.
279
00:30:37,070 --> 00:30:40,907
It was a really interesting side
trip for me. Very unexpected.
280
00:31:00,893 --> 00:31:02,762
Travelling can make you
very creative.
281
00:31:03,830 --> 00:31:06,632
It's just having that down-time.
282
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:08,801
You never quite know what's
gonna turn up
283
00:31:08,968 --> 00:31:10,603
but things happen.
284
00:31:12,038 --> 00:31:14,574
I had this one stoned night
in '68.
285
00:31:14,707 --> 00:31:16,843
Mick and I and probably Marianne
and he said,
286
00:31:17,009 --> 00:31:19,679
"Let's go to South America."
287
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,615
Keith and I had never
been on a boat before
288
00:31:22,749 --> 00:31:24,751
so we took the boat
from Lisbon to Rio,
289
00:31:24,917 --> 00:31:26,786
and arriving in Rio in the dawn,
290
00:31:26,953 --> 00:31:29,856
seeing this beautiful,
majestic harbour
291
00:31:30,289 --> 00:31:34,160
and the giant Christ and the
Sugarloaf Mountain and so on.
292
00:31:34,961 --> 00:31:39,132
By the time we got to Brazil,
it was a breath of fresh air
293
00:31:39,265 --> 00:31:42,034
because nobody gave a damn
who you were.
294
00:31:42,201 --> 00:31:47,006
We weren't that well known
at that time in South America.
295
00:31:47,173 --> 00:31:49,675
So we could roam about
fairly freely.
296
00:31:50,676 --> 00:31:54,147
That whole trip in Brazil
was super vivid.
297
00:31:54,347 --> 00:31:56,749
I can remember absolutely
everything about it.
298
00:31:56,916 --> 00:32:00,286
And Keith had this beginning to
this 'Honky Tonk Women' song.
299
00:32:00,586 --> 00:32:03,990
We went off to this ranch which
is a long way out of São Paulo.
300
00:32:04,157 --> 00:32:06,692
- Don't think the city.
- It was the middle of nowhere.
301
00:32:06,826 --> 00:32:10,329
It was totally. But it was
a big coffee plantation.
302
00:32:10,763 --> 00:32:12,999
And they very kindly lent us
this ranch
303
00:32:13,166 --> 00:32:14,734
and we stayed there for...
I don't know,
304
00:32:14,867 --> 00:32:16,369
it seemed like quite a while.
305
00:32:16,769 --> 00:32:20,206
The other thing I remember about
that ranch house was...
306
00:32:21,207 --> 00:32:25,445
the screams when Marianne
and Anita used the toilet.
307
00:32:25,645 --> 00:32:30,149
And those black blind frogs
had come flushing in!
308
00:32:30,583 --> 00:32:31,583
Yes!
309
00:32:31,918 --> 00:32:34,787
And I also caught the cook
and the handyman
310
00:32:35,721 --> 00:32:37,123
in the kitchen going like...
311
00:32:37,323 --> 00:32:39,892
- Cos it must happen every time.
- Yeah, of course.
312
00:32:40,026 --> 00:32:44,363
Every time some visitor comes,
they'd go, "Oh, my God."
313
00:32:44,764 --> 00:32:47,200
Half a dozen frogs would come
out when you flushed.
314
00:32:47,366 --> 00:32:50,236
What do you do on a ranch
and it's late,
315
00:32:50,870 --> 00:32:53,105
evening is coming up and...
316
00:32:53,272 --> 00:32:56,042
- you've got a couple of guitars?
- No TV.
317
00:32:57,043 --> 00:33:01,547
And sitting around
and suddenly...
318
00:33:02,849 --> 00:33:04,450
Hank Williams came to mind.
319
00:33:04,650 --> 00:33:07,286
I mean,
maybe that's retrospect or not
320
00:33:07,453 --> 00:33:08,688
but I don't think so.
321
00:33:08,855 --> 00:33:11,891
I think we were just kicking
around old country songs.
322
00:33:12,024 --> 00:33:14,026
I remember we were
by the river once.
323
00:33:14,193 --> 00:33:17,163
There was a beautiful river and
I remember sitting by the river.
324
00:33:17,330 --> 00:33:19,565
That was the first time
I remember it coming together.
325
00:33:19,732 --> 00:33:22,268
And I started to get into
that one pump.
326
00:33:22,435 --> 00:33:25,972
And then Mick came up with
'the bitch' and 'Jackson'
327
00:33:26,105 --> 00:33:28,174
- and we were off.
- Off.
328
00:33:28,407 --> 00:33:32,345
And let's not forget
the Honky Tonk Woman herself.
329
00:33:33,012 --> 00:33:34,847
- Oh, yeah.
- That Cathy James.
330
00:33:35,014 --> 00:33:36,174
- Yeah, that's right.
- Cathy.
331
00:33:36,249 --> 00:33:37,849
Who was a great friend
of the whole band.
332
00:33:37,950 --> 00:33:40,920
Yes.
And her friend Candy.
333
00:33:41,087 --> 00:33:43,689
Yeah. Well, Candy,
I never got there.
334
00:36:15,007 --> 00:36:16,375
That's how it grows.
335
00:36:17,443 --> 00:36:19,445
- Something like that.
- That's the way it went.
336
00:36:35,127 --> 00:36:37,129
You always have this chemistry
with certain people
337
00:36:37,263 --> 00:36:39,065
and I definitely have it
with Keith.
338
00:36:39,231 --> 00:36:40,766
I enjoy being
in the studio with him
339
00:36:40,933 --> 00:36:44,470
and on stage we also have
special moments together.
340
00:36:44,904 --> 00:36:48,274
There is no rational
thing about human chemistry,
341
00:36:48,441 --> 00:36:51,243
especially two blokes coming
straight out of Dartford.
342
00:36:52,211 --> 00:36:53,546
Mick and I are quite famous
343
00:36:53,713 --> 00:36:55,715
for having our squabbles
and everything.
344
00:36:56,048 --> 00:36:57,783
We can irritate
each other immensely
345
00:36:57,950 --> 00:36:59,185
cos we're quite different.
346
00:36:59,785 --> 00:37:03,289
But at the same time we also
know that we were given
347
00:37:03,422 --> 00:37:06,625
this amazing gift between us.
348
00:37:15,801 --> 00:37:16,801
Yeah!
349
00:37:35,121 --> 00:37:37,890
São Paulo is famous
for street art of every kind.
350
00:37:38,157 --> 00:37:39,759
It's been sort of
encouraged a bit.
351
00:37:40,593 --> 00:37:42,361
I find it to be inspiring
352
00:37:42,695 --> 00:37:46,198
to go to the different areas
in South America, artistically.
353
00:37:47,032 --> 00:37:48,601
It's always a pleasant thing
for me
354
00:37:48,734 --> 00:37:50,402
to meet up with
the artist friends.
355
00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:55,241
I'm looking forward to reuniting
with Ivald Granato.
356
00:37:55,407 --> 00:37:58,344
He doesn't speak any English.
He just goes, "I love you",
357
00:37:58,544 --> 00:38:02,248
and I go "I love you",
and then we paint.
358
00:38:02,414 --> 00:38:03,649
That's how we communicate.
359
00:38:03,849 --> 00:38:09,255
- Ah-ha! My friend. I love you!
- Hello. I love you.
360
00:38:10,890 --> 00:38:13,092
The entire neighbourhood has
been taken over
361
00:38:13,225 --> 00:38:15,161
by this art movement.
362
00:38:15,728 --> 00:38:17,997
This has become a centre
for young people
363
00:38:18,164 --> 00:38:22,568
who work with graffiti.
364
00:38:24,036 --> 00:38:27,373
Come in to my studio. My house.
365
00:38:27,606 --> 00:38:31,844
Yeah. I haven't been for years.
This time I will stay sober.
366
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:34,880
All right.
367
00:38:35,247 --> 00:38:37,049
It's in your blood.
Oh?
368
00:38:38,551 --> 00:38:41,720
Very...
You are always very colourful.
369
00:38:41,887 --> 00:38:45,324
- Very colourful.
- Colour and boom.
370
00:38:46,025 --> 00:38:47,025
Yes.
371
00:38:47,693 --> 00:38:49,829
Yeah, it's very expressive art.
372
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,202
Very good. Very good indeed.
373
00:38:56,435 --> 00:38:57,703
Ah-ah-ah!
374
00:38:59,638 --> 00:39:03,008
When I was young, my brothers
were artists and musicians.
375
00:39:04,043 --> 00:39:05,945
They were eight and ten
years older than me
376
00:39:06,111 --> 00:39:10,115
so if they painted,
I would paint.
377
00:39:10,282 --> 00:39:11,550
And if they played,
378
00:39:11,884 --> 00:39:15,087
I would pick up the nearest
instrument and play that.
379
00:39:15,788 --> 00:39:17,623
The way I approach
my music and art
380
00:39:17,790 --> 00:39:19,892
is with the same
element of risk.
381
00:39:20,025 --> 00:39:22,361
I love that.
You watch things take shape
382
00:39:22,561 --> 00:39:24,230
or you listen to things
take shape.
383
00:39:25,865 --> 00:39:27,366
It's a great release.
384
00:39:27,967 --> 00:39:29,869
Travelling to new places,
meeting new people
385
00:39:30,035 --> 00:39:32,238
is a real source of inspiration.
386
00:39:33,038 --> 00:39:35,608
It's the element of the unknown
always coming up.
387
00:39:39,311 --> 00:39:42,748
I've never been one
to sit still in one place.
388
00:39:43,349 --> 00:39:47,186
I come from the canals of
England and these water gypsies
389
00:39:47,353 --> 00:39:51,156
that haul timber and my family,
for generations,
390
00:39:51,323 --> 00:39:53,225
has always been on the move.
391
00:39:54,793 --> 00:39:58,197
My earliest memories,
three or four years old,
392
00:39:58,430 --> 00:40:00,332
I was always drawing.
393
00:40:01,533 --> 00:40:02,835
I was born with it.
394
00:40:03,002 --> 00:40:06,005
I was born with a pencil
and a pick in my hand.
395
00:40:07,306 --> 00:40:10,409
I make paintings to keep sane.
396
00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:14,446
My musical and artistic side
work together.
397
00:40:14,647 --> 00:40:16,215
They bounce off each other.
398
00:40:16,649 --> 00:40:20,853
I have the wonderful
group effort
399
00:40:20,986 --> 00:40:22,922
where I can be part of a unit
400
00:40:23,589 --> 00:40:26,558
but I have this wonderful
private expression
401
00:40:27,326 --> 00:40:28,794
where I'm the boss.
402
00:40:29,762 --> 00:40:31,597
I never saw any other life.
403
00:40:31,764 --> 00:40:34,667
I had to make it work
the way it is.
404
00:40:35,234 --> 00:40:36,335
No other life.
405
00:40:49,615 --> 00:40:52,284
Shut up, I'm working!
406
00:40:54,853 --> 00:40:58,190
This is home.
Wherever I am in the world,
407
00:40:58,357 --> 00:41:00,559
it's the one place
that doesn't change.
408
00:41:01,226 --> 00:41:04,196
The stick is a very
superstitious thing.
409
00:41:04,596 --> 00:41:08,734
If it's about to rain or if it's
where you're playing outdoors,
410
00:41:09,201 --> 00:41:11,370
and then it's,
"Keith, it's raining."
411
00:41:12,471 --> 00:41:15,507
And if I don't go out, outside,
412
00:41:16,275 --> 00:41:18,644
and do a few mysterious
movements,
413
00:41:18,811 --> 00:41:21,947
it would disappoint
the whole crew.
414
00:41:22,114 --> 00:41:23,949
From like the lighting people,
415
00:41:24,116 --> 00:41:27,386
the stage people,
the sound people,
416
00:41:28,287 --> 00:41:31,924
because they rely upon
this stick to stop the rain.
417
00:41:32,157 --> 00:41:36,228
And the weird thing is
that it works.
418
00:43:49,995 --> 00:43:50,996
Yeah, come on.
419
00:43:51,930 --> 00:43:54,199
First time I heard
'Sympathy For The Devil'
420
00:43:54,366 --> 00:43:57,202
I was in a house
I lived in in Sussex.
421
00:43:57,669 --> 00:44:01,306
And Mick came for dinner and he
sang it on the front doorstep.
422
00:44:02,808 --> 00:44:05,944
That started off as a very
sort of Dylan-esque ballad.
423
00:44:06,612 --> 00:44:10,682
Mick or I sort of realised that
this is an interesting song
424
00:44:10,849 --> 00:44:12,317
but not in this style.
425
00:44:12,484 --> 00:44:16,555
And so you start to search
around for other ways.
426
00:44:17,156 --> 00:44:18,757
Because we had already
been to Brazil
427
00:44:18,924 --> 00:44:21,693
we were very samba orientated.
428
00:44:22,127 --> 00:44:24,563
When we wanted to
up the groove a bit,
429
00:44:24,730 --> 00:44:28,634
instead of making it into a rock
song, we made it into a samba.
430
00:44:38,010 --> 00:44:42,681
My name is Osvaldinho da Cuica.
431
00:44:42,848 --> 00:44:44,917
I am a sambista.
432
00:44:47,553 --> 00:44:52,124
Samba is the soundtrack
of our country.
433
00:44:52,791 --> 00:44:57,196
Samba was born from
the oppressed.
434
00:44:57,362 --> 00:45:02,634
It was born from the needy,
from the favelas, the slums.
435
00:45:02,801 --> 00:45:05,370
It is the voice of the people.
436
00:45:09,608 --> 00:45:11,610
Samba came from
a feeling of rebellion.
437
00:45:11,743 --> 00:45:16,915
It came from a society that
fought for its own space
438
00:45:17,082 --> 00:45:20,285
for a better way of life.
439
00:45:23,789 --> 00:45:27,226
Samba shows the good
and the bad.
440
00:45:27,559 --> 00:45:29,194
It talks about God
and the devil.
441
00:45:29,895 --> 00:45:33,665
When The Rolling Stones' music
speaks about the devil,
442
00:45:33,865 --> 00:45:36,435
it speaks about reality.
443
00:45:36,868 --> 00:45:40,572
That's part of the universe.
444
00:45:54,987 --> 00:45:57,823
We're all just kind of
in a state of shock.
445
00:45:58,090 --> 00:45:59,424
President Obama's just announced
446
00:45:59,625 --> 00:46:02,294
that he will visit Cuba
on March 21st.
447
00:46:03,128 --> 00:46:04,796
It's actually pretty
terrible news
448
00:46:04,963 --> 00:46:07,165
because it's roughly
12 hours after
449
00:46:07,332 --> 00:46:09,735
when our concert
would take place.
450
00:46:10,469 --> 00:46:13,305
Everything that we had planned
will need to be revisited.
451
00:46:13,805 --> 00:46:17,042
We just finally started having
a picture of what it looked like
452
00:46:17,276 --> 00:46:20,345
and now I have no idea
what this looks like.
453
00:46:21,146 --> 00:46:23,448
They don't feel like they can do
The Rolling Stones
454
00:46:23,949 --> 00:46:26,385
and then bring in Obama
like the next day.
455
00:46:26,585 --> 00:46:30,489
It's just too big of a jolt
to their system.
456
00:46:31,156 --> 00:46:33,725
They are now formally requesting
457
00:46:33,892 --> 00:46:39,231
could we reschedule it
five days later, i.e. the 25th?
458
00:46:40,732 --> 00:46:43,669
How long is it since an American
president visited Cuba?
459
00:46:44,169 --> 00:46:46,049
Oh, we're talking sort of
80 years or something.
460
00:46:46,104 --> 00:46:50,242
80 years. So he wants to go on
the day we've scheduled to go!
461
00:46:52,044 --> 00:46:54,546
I mean, you've gotta laugh.
You'd cry, but...
462
00:46:55,314 --> 00:46:59,284
OK. Listen, listen.
I'll talk to everyone else.
463
00:46:59,451 --> 00:47:03,522
I'll look at the dates,
the holding point in Miami,
464
00:47:03,689 --> 00:47:05,324
you go and see
if you can find the money
465
00:47:05,524 --> 00:47:06,925
and then we'll reconvene.
466
00:47:07,092 --> 00:47:08,293
Reconvene. OK.
467
00:47:08,427 --> 00:47:09,995
- All right, Mick.
- Thanks so much.
468
00:47:10,162 --> 00:47:11,830
All right. Speak to you later.
Bye.
469
00:47:20,072 --> 00:47:21,573
You've gotta be ready in life
470
00:47:21,707 --> 00:47:23,241
for unpredictable
things to happen.
471
00:47:23,875 --> 00:47:25,644
You have to be ready
for anything.
472
00:47:27,713 --> 00:47:31,350
Porto Alegre in Brazil
was a fantastic feeling
473
00:47:31,983 --> 00:47:34,720
of just being out
among the elements.
474
00:47:40,125 --> 00:47:43,128
Well, the rain stick
is not infallible.
475
00:47:45,364 --> 00:47:46,404
You're out there with them
476
00:47:46,598 --> 00:47:49,534
and you're all being pissed on
at the same time.
477
00:47:49,768 --> 00:47:54,673
And, there's another special
bond created with the audience.
478
00:49:52,357 --> 00:49:56,228
Lima is enormous now
compared to when,
479
00:49:56,394 --> 00:49:59,965
when I was here in 1968.
480
00:50:12,677 --> 00:50:15,280
It's like every other
city in the world.
481
00:50:15,447 --> 00:50:18,283
Up they go, up they go,
like tombstones.
482
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,555
Fascinating to see again.
483
00:50:24,022 --> 00:50:29,094
I can't wait for this show
cos it's never been on our list.
484
00:50:29,227 --> 00:50:32,397
This is our first time to play
here professionally.
485
00:50:34,065 --> 00:50:36,468
Or even amateurly,
when I think about it.
486
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:59,357
The next steps on this
tour are stepping
487
00:50:59,524 --> 00:51:02,127
through the known,
into the unknown.
488
00:51:20,145 --> 00:51:23,682
Today we are doing a 'Parapa'.
489
00:51:24,149 --> 00:51:26,251
It's an offering
to the 'Apos Guamanes',
490
00:51:26,384 --> 00:51:27,953
the Gods of the Andean world.
491
00:51:30,422 --> 00:51:36,494
This place, Cerro San Cristobal,
is the highest peak in Lima
492
00:51:36,661 --> 00:51:41,366
and this way our offering can
easily reach the Gods.
493
00:51:48,607 --> 00:51:50,318
The scissor dance began
as an act of resistance
494
00:51:50,342 --> 00:51:52,010
against the Spanish
495
00:51:52,143 --> 00:51:55,647
who came to impose
their own culture.
496
00:51:56,781 --> 00:52:01,052
What the dancers did is
to resist their culture
497
00:52:01,686 --> 00:52:03,755
in order not to surrender
to Catholicism.
498
00:52:11,663 --> 00:52:14,265
If I don't dance,
then I can't be at peace.
499
00:52:14,833 --> 00:52:17,969
The art of the dance
is in my heart.
500
00:52:23,341 --> 00:52:24,843
GLORY TO GOD
501
00:52:52,470 --> 00:52:55,006
I think when you go to a place,
if you're a musician,
502
00:52:55,573 --> 00:52:59,411
it's great to see something
of the local culture.
503
00:53:00,412 --> 00:53:01,680
Often we'd just have
504
00:53:01,846 --> 00:53:03,915
on the spur of the moment
entertainment.
505
00:53:04,449 --> 00:53:07,552
And to have that little family
backstage was a delight.
506
00:53:16,761 --> 00:53:17,762
Great drumming.
507
00:53:18,029 --> 00:53:21,032
There was this vibrancy
of those dancers.
508
00:53:21,199 --> 00:53:25,103
I felt compelled to join in
myself.
509
00:53:41,853 --> 00:53:46,891
I think one of the
great gifts for a long life
510
00:53:47,092 --> 00:53:49,794
is that you're always learning
and always discovering.
511
00:53:52,630 --> 00:53:54,432
Now we can't find them.
512
00:53:54,733 --> 00:53:58,069
- We can't find them?
- We can't find them.
513
00:53:58,269 --> 00:53:59,571
When I'm in South America,
514
00:53:59,704 --> 00:54:01,744
I just feel like they wanna hear
a bit of something.
515
00:54:02,107 --> 00:54:05,110
I don't really speak Spanish
but I can kind of get by.
516
00:54:05,276 --> 00:54:06,544
Even better...
517
00:54:07,245 --> 00:54:10,381
So I just try to do
research on each town.
518
00:54:10,982 --> 00:54:13,551
There's usually some really
good food things.
519
00:54:13,718 --> 00:54:16,721
Like Peru, people
like to eat hamsters.
520
00:54:16,988 --> 00:54:19,557
So, it's all good material.
521
00:54:21,126 --> 00:54:24,195
The food here is great.
522
00:54:25,930 --> 00:54:28,066
The best in South America.
523
00:54:31,069 --> 00:54:34,873
My daughter brought
her guinea pig.
524
00:54:38,710 --> 00:54:42,046
And now we can't find it!
525
00:58:38,850 --> 00:58:39,850
Thank you!
526
00:58:46,891 --> 00:58:49,193
I suppose show-business,
I'm a bit outside it.
527
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,829
I've never really
sort of believed it.
528
00:58:51,996 --> 00:58:55,133
It's a lot of bullshit,
a lot of it.
529
00:58:57,035 --> 00:59:00,304
When I was 13, I had a newspaper
and a pair of brushes.
530
00:59:00,671 --> 00:59:02,373
I had a banjo.
531
00:59:03,307 --> 00:59:05,610
Took the neck off
and played the banjo.
532
00:59:06,477 --> 00:59:09,647
Then my dad bought me a drum kit
from a bloke in the pub.
533
00:59:10,548 --> 00:59:11,649
And that was it.
534
00:59:16,888 --> 00:59:20,224
The biggest thing you can do
as a drummer, really,
535
00:59:20,391 --> 00:59:23,928
is to have a room dance.
Cos that's what it's about.
536
00:59:29,767 --> 00:59:33,104
You can't play the drums
in the living room at home.
537
00:59:33,571 --> 00:59:35,907
It's not like a piano
or a guitar.
538
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:37,909
It's an accompanying thing.
539
00:59:38,743 --> 00:59:40,211
So you have to go on the road.
540
00:59:44,482 --> 00:59:46,851
I'm not playing for me,
particularly.
541
00:59:47,718 --> 00:59:48,853
It's not about me.
542
00:59:48,986 --> 00:59:51,322
It's the thing that gives me
most pleasure.
543
00:59:52,323 --> 00:59:53,991
Just keeping it together,
really.
544
00:59:55,526 --> 00:59:59,664
I'm just doing the best I can...
for them to play the song.
545
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:10,942
You never announce the show
546
01:00:11,109 --> 01:00:14,745
until you are cast-iron sure
that it's definitely on.
547
01:00:15,413 --> 01:00:21,285
So there's an exhalation
of relief when it was announced.
548
01:00:22,687 --> 01:00:24,589
Well, we finally got
a booked date
549
01:00:24,755 --> 01:00:27,959
and a signed contract to go
to Havana on the 25th.
550
01:00:28,126 --> 01:00:30,194
It's been so much organisation
551
01:00:30,361 --> 01:00:34,232
and to and fro that it's quite
a relief, actually, yeah.
552
01:00:34,398 --> 01:00:35,933
- Looking forward...
- For you!
553
01:00:36,601 --> 01:00:39,403
Can I just say it's very
difficult for Ron
554
01:00:39,604 --> 01:00:42,073
- to keep a secret about a gig.
- Exactly, that's why!
555
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,209
So I proved really good on this,
haven't I?
556
01:00:45,343 --> 01:00:46,343
Yeah, yeah.
557
01:00:48,312 --> 01:00:51,382
A big, tricky thing now
is to get the hotels done.
558
01:00:51,983 --> 01:00:55,386
We were looking at using a boat
for a hotel and living on
559
01:00:55,786 --> 01:00:57,066
and quarters but now it's become
560
01:00:57,121 --> 01:00:59,123
too expensive
and too much to deal with.
561
01:00:59,690 --> 01:01:01,392
When will I know
if this show's happening?
562
01:01:01,592 --> 01:01:05,163
Probably not until we get off
the plane in Havana.
563
01:01:05,663 --> 01:01:08,566
We're just being prepared for
anything and everything, really.
564
01:01:08,766 --> 01:01:09,800
It's all you can do.
565
01:01:34,358 --> 01:01:38,229
Mexico, obviously being right
on the border with the USA,
566
01:01:38,396 --> 01:01:41,799
I think that the Mexican people
feel very closely
567
01:01:41,966 --> 01:01:44,068
musically involved
with rock 'n' roll.
568
01:01:45,102 --> 01:01:48,973
It's where there isn't a border
between Mexicans and Americans.
569
01:01:49,106 --> 01:01:51,943
And once again, it's music that
can cross the bridge.
570
01:01:58,983 --> 01:02:01,185
I'm Javier Batiz.
571
01:02:01,719 --> 01:02:05,022
I was the leader
of the Mexican counterculture.
572
01:02:05,790 --> 01:02:09,427
Carlos Santana was one
of the people I taught to play.
573
01:02:09,927 --> 01:02:12,730
When I arrived in Mexico City
in the 60s,
574
01:02:13,197 --> 01:02:15,066
people were very conservative.
575
01:02:15,266 --> 01:02:19,303
Alcohol was not sold in any
form, no beer or anything.
576
01:02:19,503 --> 01:02:21,505
They wouldn't sell anything.
577
01:02:22,573 --> 01:02:27,445
Mexico City in the 60s became
a city of Rock and Roll.
578
01:02:28,112 --> 01:02:31,949
It was something very new
for the rulers.
579
01:02:32,283 --> 01:02:36,687
Then the city government began
to get scared.
580
01:02:36,921 --> 01:02:40,124
They did not understand it was
a new world, a new music.
581
01:02:41,225 --> 01:02:42,225
This is cool.
582
01:02:44,629 --> 01:02:46,597
Couple of guys I recognise.
583
01:02:46,964 --> 01:02:47,765
Alex.
584
01:02:47,932 --> 01:02:51,202
- Oh, maestro!
- How are you?
585
01:02:51,569 --> 01:02:53,971
- Nice to see you.
- Armando, this is my son Ty.
586
01:02:54,105 --> 01:02:55,905
- Hello. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
587
01:02:58,242 --> 01:03:00,211
- Yes!
- Ah! Ha-ha!
588
01:03:00,811 --> 01:03:03,147
We played together in 2006,
didn't we?
589
01:03:03,314 --> 01:03:05,383
- When The Stones came here.
- Yeah, ten years ago.
590
01:03:06,951 --> 01:03:10,755
Armando put the festival on,
right, in 1971?
591
01:03:11,188 --> 01:03:15,026
Yeah.
Because we love rock 'n' roll
592
01:03:15,426 --> 01:03:17,561
and Mexican bands
want to have a festival
593
01:03:17,728 --> 01:03:20,431
similar to the
Woodstock festival.
594
01:03:20,631 --> 01:03:22,933
This is the crowd
at Avándaro Festival.
595
01:03:23,067 --> 01:03:27,104
The most important festival in
Mexico in rock 'n' roll history.
596
01:03:27,571 --> 01:03:30,675
They were expecting
10,000 people.
597
01:03:31,075 --> 01:03:33,911
But 500,000 arrived.
598
01:03:34,478 --> 01:03:37,748
They were very difficult years
for young people.
599
01:03:38,849 --> 01:03:41,452
If they saw you with long hair
and certain clothes,
600
01:03:42,053 --> 01:03:46,357
they would arrest you and
you could spend time in jail.
601
01:03:47,625 --> 01:03:49,794
We protested with music.
602
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:55,599
Our instruments were our weapons
to tell the youth
603
01:03:55,966 --> 01:03:57,835
that the government was bad.
604
01:03:59,203 --> 01:04:01,205
Towards the end of '71,
605
01:04:01,372 --> 01:04:04,342
when the Avándaro Festival
happened,
606
01:04:04,875 --> 01:04:09,213
the government got scared to see
so many people gathered there
607
01:04:09,914 --> 01:04:11,949
and wanted to eradicate
Rock and Roll
608
01:04:12,116 --> 01:04:14,151
from our country forever.
609
01:04:15,886 --> 01:04:18,422
They banned rock music
610
01:04:18,556 --> 01:04:22,093
after the Avándaro Festival
until 1985.
611
01:04:40,010 --> 01:04:43,147
It was a punch in the gut
for all Mexicans.
612
01:04:44,248 --> 01:04:46,584
How can you stop Rock and Roll?
You can't.
613
01:04:46,751 --> 01:04:48,919
Stopping Rock and Roll
is like stopping life.
614
01:04:49,854 --> 01:04:52,323
During the repression
we never thought that
615
01:04:52,490 --> 01:04:54,759
we could one day have the chance
616
01:04:54,925 --> 01:04:56,961
to see them here in our country.
617
01:04:57,595 --> 01:05:01,065
The presence of the 'Rollings'
for us is magical.
618
01:05:01,232 --> 01:05:02,933
It's like a dream come true.
619
01:06:09,233 --> 01:06:10,968
Having The Rolling Stones
here in Mexico
620
01:06:11,101 --> 01:06:12,303
has created euphoria.
621
01:06:17,875 --> 01:06:19,877
The Rolling Stones were part of
the revolution
622
01:06:20,044 --> 01:06:21,284
that took place here in Mexico,
623
01:06:21,512 --> 01:06:22,813
in the freedom of expression.
624
01:06:26,050 --> 01:06:28,352
The guitar is very important
in Mexico.
625
01:06:28,786 --> 01:06:32,690
Here when a baby is born,
they send mariachis...
626
01:06:33,958 --> 01:06:35,025
out of joy.
627
01:06:35,392 --> 01:06:38,629
When you die, the farewell is
with mariachi music too,
628
01:06:39,196 --> 01:06:40,196
with guitar.
629
01:06:41,065 --> 01:06:44,869
We're born with music.
We die with music.
630
01:07:22,072 --> 01:07:25,409
Mexico is a big guitar country.
631
01:07:25,609 --> 01:07:28,712
If there's an instrument
in the house, it'll be a guitar.
632
01:07:31,148 --> 01:07:34,585
As a kid, it was the instrument
that just caught my eye.
633
01:07:34,752 --> 01:07:38,389
I don't know if it was talking
to me or I was talking to it.
634
01:07:38,589 --> 01:07:41,225
Anyway, we got together
like that.
635
01:08:13,223 --> 01:08:18,629
I felt I'd been given a very
complicated puzzle to solve.
636
01:08:19,563 --> 01:08:25,436
And if I could just figure a
little bit more out every time,
637
01:08:26,236 --> 01:08:28,772
then there was another bit
of the puzzle solved.
638
01:08:28,906 --> 01:08:32,443
I'm still doing it, it still
mystifies me, the damn thing.
639
01:08:38,315 --> 01:08:40,117
Not many people get a chance
to do this
640
01:08:40,284 --> 01:08:43,787
with thousands of people
as a job.
641
01:08:47,191 --> 01:08:52,062
Olé Olé Olé, Richards.
642
01:08:53,063 --> 01:08:55,833
Olé Olé Olé...
643
01:08:56,634 --> 01:08:59,269
When you're exchanging
that much appreciation
644
01:08:59,436 --> 01:09:03,641
to each other,
it's profoundly touching.
645
01:09:06,443 --> 01:09:10,914
Olé Olé Olé, Richards.
646
01:09:12,783 --> 01:09:18,989
Olé Olé Olé, Richards.
647
01:09:19,990 --> 01:09:22,126
It's not something
you can ever get used to.
648
01:09:22,292 --> 01:09:25,763
It always touches
you when it happens.
649
01:09:26,363 --> 01:09:31,902
I don't think anybody
could remain impervious to that.
650
01:09:34,571 --> 01:09:36,707
You realise
that you've gone to heaven.
651
01:11:22,746 --> 01:11:23,746
Thank you.
652
01:11:30,788 --> 01:11:32,222
I was feeling pretty good.
653
01:11:32,389 --> 01:11:34,358
The Cubans were doing
everything they promised.
654
01:11:34,558 --> 01:11:37,161
'Opie' has production covered,
so I'm starting to think,
655
01:11:37,661 --> 01:11:40,063
"Maybe we've got this.
Maybe it's gonna work."
656
01:11:40,230 --> 01:11:41,832
And then out of the blue,
657
01:11:42,432 --> 01:11:45,569
the Pope decides to pick a fight
with The Rolling Stones.
658
01:11:46,403 --> 01:11:47,971
Woke up with some frantic calls
659
01:11:48,105 --> 01:11:51,742
from my counterparts
in the government here.
660
01:11:52,342 --> 01:11:55,345
There is now concern
about the concert
661
01:11:55,546 --> 01:11:59,449
taking place on March 25th
because it's Good Friday.
662
01:11:59,683 --> 01:12:02,186
And this is of course
after we had to reschedule
663
01:12:02,352 --> 01:12:06,557
the original date of March 20th
because of the Obama visit.
664
01:12:06,924 --> 01:12:10,961
And I just, about lost it
at that point.
665
01:12:11,195 --> 01:12:13,530
It's just ridiculous.
It truly is ridiculous.
666
01:12:14,731 --> 01:12:16,233
The Pope's got his own agenda.
667
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:18,769
For him to object
what day we gonna play,
668
01:12:18,902 --> 01:12:21,405
it's a bit cheeky
as far as I'm concerned.
669
01:12:21,605 --> 01:12:23,240
He's not my manager.
670
01:12:24,408 --> 01:12:26,710
And we went,
"No. We're not moving."
671
01:12:27,311 --> 01:12:30,180
Joyce wrote this very strong,
impassioned letter
672
01:12:30,347 --> 01:12:33,116
to the Cuban government saying
why we're not moving
673
01:12:33,283 --> 01:12:35,853
and shouldn't have to move.
And they bought it.
674
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,189
So, we're back on.
675
01:12:43,794 --> 01:12:44,928
This is a new day.
676
01:12:45,829 --> 01:12:47,097
This is a new day.
677
01:12:48,966 --> 01:12:51,902
Even as Cubans prepare for the
arrival of The Rolling Stones,
678
01:12:53,370 --> 01:12:56,039
we're moving ahead with more
events and exchanges
679
01:12:56,206 --> 01:12:58,909
that bring Cubans and Americans
together as well.
680
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:34,611
The other day the President of
the United States came to Cuba.
681
01:13:37,447 --> 01:13:39,449
Countries have to exchange
things with each other
682
01:13:39,783 --> 01:13:41,585
in musical terms
but political too.
683
01:13:43,420 --> 01:13:44,755
Music has no borders.
684
01:13:45,022 --> 01:13:47,291
If Cuba has no music,
it has no life.
685
01:13:58,902 --> 01:14:00,604
My name is Franco Pablanco.
686
01:14:01,638 --> 01:14:04,074
I've been a mechanic
for 23 years.
687
01:14:05,842 --> 01:14:07,878
My passion is fixing old cars.
688
01:14:08,478 --> 01:14:09,613
I spend all my time here,
689
01:14:10,347 --> 01:14:11,648
with American cars.
690
01:14:15,452 --> 01:14:19,389
The embargo affects us
in all ways.
691
01:14:21,091 --> 01:14:22,826
Parts don't come in,
nothing comes in.
692
01:14:23,927 --> 01:14:26,964
They don't exist, so we have to
do things ourselves.
693
01:14:27,130 --> 01:14:28,865
And it gets done. By hand.
694
01:14:29,132 --> 01:14:32,869
Fixing them, passing them down
to our children, cousins.
695
01:14:35,105 --> 01:14:36,940
Changes are happening.
696
01:14:37,641 --> 01:14:39,910
Because for 80 years the
President of the United States
697
01:14:40,077 --> 01:14:41,078
has not come to Cuba.
698
01:14:41,812 --> 01:14:42,812
And he came.
699
01:14:42,913 --> 01:14:44,047
The future is out there.
700
01:15:20,550 --> 01:15:22,552
I have been doing this
job for many years.
701
01:15:23,820 --> 01:15:26,323
I like it because people come
to me with a broken instrument
702
01:15:26,490 --> 01:15:28,759
and I am able to save it
for them.
703
01:15:31,028 --> 01:15:32,638
If there weren't people taking
care of these things,
704
01:15:32,662 --> 01:15:33,982
there wouldn't be
any instruments,
705
01:15:34,064 --> 01:15:35,232
there would be no music.
706
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:38,668
I have lived all my life
with the embargo.
707
01:15:39,269 --> 01:15:40,989
There started to be a shortage
of everything
708
01:15:41,571 --> 01:15:44,207
and things stopped coming
into our country.
709
01:15:44,408 --> 01:15:46,076
The musicians themselves
had nowhere
710
01:15:46,243 --> 01:15:47,878
to buy their instruments.
711
01:15:48,812 --> 01:15:50,180
You have to keep improvising.
712
01:15:50,347 --> 01:15:51,915
There are no strings.
713
01:15:52,749 --> 01:15:54,260
You can walk around
the stores in Havana
714
01:15:54,284 --> 01:15:55,886
and you won't find any.
715
01:15:56,920 --> 01:16:01,291
There are even people
who make the strings.
716
01:16:02,092 --> 01:16:04,127
But for the metal parts
they use wire coil
717
01:16:04,261 --> 01:16:06,229
taken from burned out engines.
718
01:16:08,965 --> 01:16:11,034
I think that a new Cuba
is being born
719
01:16:11,568 --> 01:16:14,805
and I am convinced
we will move forward
720
01:16:14,971 --> 01:16:19,209
and new generations will be able
to enjoy something much better.
721
01:16:40,764 --> 01:16:42,566
Everything you see, we brought.
722
01:16:42,732 --> 01:16:44,434
The stage, the towers,
the video.
723
01:16:44,634 --> 01:16:47,437
We brought a lot of heavy
equipment and a lot of crew,
724
01:16:47,637 --> 01:16:50,340
just so the technical side could
all work and we could work
725
01:16:50,540 --> 01:16:52,309
with everybody locally
to make it right.
726
01:16:56,746 --> 01:16:58,548
There has absolutely
come a moment
727
01:16:58,715 --> 01:17:00,717
when now it's one group
and it's not two groups.
728
01:17:00,884 --> 01:17:03,787
And the Cubans are helping us
with anything that they can
729
01:17:03,954 --> 01:17:06,723
and our team have learnt
their sensibilities,
730
01:17:06,890 --> 01:17:08,425
what's important to them,
what's not.
731
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:24,841
As is already well known,
732
01:17:25,008 --> 01:17:28,245
on this Friday, March 25th,
at 8:30pm,
733
01:17:28,678 --> 01:17:31,681
the concert of the famous
British band
734
01:17:31,982 --> 01:17:34,351
The Rolling Stones will be held
735
01:17:34,551 --> 01:17:36,653
in the vicinity
of Havana Sports Complex
736
01:17:40,223 --> 01:17:42,626
We're on the plane to Havana
737
01:17:43,426 --> 01:17:45,996
and we're gonna land
in about 15 minutes.
738
01:17:46,563 --> 01:17:49,065
It's very gratifying
cos lots of people
739
01:17:49,232 --> 01:17:51,768
have worked very hard
to make it happen.
740
01:17:52,836 --> 01:17:58,208
We've trolled this world
continuously for 50 odd years
741
01:17:58,341 --> 01:18:01,278
and to break into somewhere new
742
01:18:01,444 --> 01:18:04,748
is an exciting chapter
for us all.
743
01:18:07,284 --> 01:18:11,688
It's a pleasure to be in Cuba
for the very first time.
744
01:18:11,922 --> 01:18:15,992
Time changes everything and
we're very pleased to be here.
745
01:18:16,159 --> 01:18:17,727
I'm sure it's gonna be
a great show.
746
01:18:17,861 --> 01:18:19,901
Tomorrow, I think it is.
God, is it really tomorrow?
747
01:18:19,963 --> 01:18:20,963
Yeah.
748
01:18:38,949 --> 01:18:42,686
We're full of anticipation
and excitement.
749
01:18:42,852 --> 01:18:45,288
It's gonna be
a real adventure of discovery.
750
01:20:05,802 --> 01:20:07,837
The Rolling Stones,
when I was young,
751
01:20:08,972 --> 01:20:11,012
if you listened to that music
you would be arrested.
752
01:20:11,141 --> 01:20:13,643
And if you had it recorded,
they came,
753
01:20:13,810 --> 01:20:15,930
took everything from you
and you were taken to prison.
754
01:20:16,946 --> 01:20:20,950
At least we will have the
freedom to listen to them now.
755
01:20:27,290 --> 01:20:29,592
This is something many
generations including mine
756
01:20:29,759 --> 01:20:32,062
had stolen by this government.
They stole our youth.
757
01:20:32,429 --> 01:20:34,864
So today you can imagine,
after all these years,
758
01:20:35,065 --> 01:20:38,635
being able to experience this
myself is something really big
759
01:20:38,802 --> 01:20:41,237
to every Cuban who loves rock.
760
01:20:42,005 --> 01:20:46,309
When I first heard a record by
The Rolling Stones in 1965,
761
01:20:46,476 --> 01:20:49,512
that was truly underground music
in Cuba.
762
01:20:49,746 --> 01:20:53,183
I personally went to jail for
listening to a song in a park.
763
01:20:53,583 --> 01:20:56,286
To be able to go up to
the police and say
764
01:20:56,453 --> 01:20:58,955
'Look, today I've been able to
listen to this music freely'.
765
01:20:59,122 --> 01:21:02,992
After 50 years this is like
an overdose of freedom.
766
01:21:03,193 --> 01:21:05,328
Obama and The Rolling Stones
all in one week!
767
01:21:06,029 --> 01:21:07,831
The chains are broken,
censorship has fallen,
768
01:21:07,997 --> 01:21:09,799
everything went down.
769
01:21:09,966 --> 01:21:10,966
Viva Cuba!
770
01:21:11,167 --> 01:21:13,770
Rock and Roll, Cuba is free
because of us!
771
01:21:17,073 --> 01:21:18,675
Viva Los Rollings!
772
01:21:49,506 --> 01:21:51,808
To have opportunities
to play in new countries,
773
01:21:51,941 --> 01:21:54,010
and in the Cuba case,
to play in a country
774
01:21:54,144 --> 01:21:55,688
where there's never been
a rock concert,
775
01:21:55,712 --> 01:21:57,514
it's great to push those
boundaries for us.
776
01:21:58,081 --> 01:22:00,250
When you play a place that
you've never played before,
777
01:22:00,383 --> 01:22:01,918
you never know
how it's gonna work
778
01:22:02,085 --> 01:22:04,687
and you don't know how
the crowd's gonna behave.
779
01:22:06,222 --> 01:22:08,391
People never believed
that this could happen.
780
01:22:08,691 --> 01:22:11,127
For the Cuban people,
this represents hope.
781
01:22:11,261 --> 01:22:14,130
This represents new ideas,
fresh ideas.
782
01:22:14,264 --> 01:22:17,233
And you can't help but feel that
and be part of it
783
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:18,868
and it's amazing.
784
01:22:19,035 --> 01:22:20,470
Did you see those kids
running in?
785
01:22:20,670 --> 01:22:21,905
It was so exciting.
786
01:22:22,071 --> 01:22:25,442
Everyone is so pumped for this.
It's a historic event.
787
01:22:25,909 --> 01:22:27,310
I think this is a bit surreal
788
01:22:27,510 --> 01:22:29,245
standing here,
looking at this sight.
789
01:22:29,412 --> 01:22:32,749
Because in a way, you can't
believe we finally got here.
790
01:22:33,550 --> 01:22:36,686
And I do feel very emotional.
I do.
791
01:22:37,954 --> 01:22:40,356
Oh, don't have me crying
on camera. That's awful.
792
01:22:43,726 --> 01:22:46,663
Olé Olé Olé...
793
01:22:49,799 --> 01:22:52,602
Olé Olé Olé...
794
01:22:58,741 --> 01:23:00,477
I had a good look at the crowd.
795
01:23:00,677 --> 01:23:01,744
- You have?
- Yeah.
796
01:23:01,911 --> 01:23:03,746
- Is it good?
- Pretty good.
797
01:23:03,913 --> 01:23:06,316
It's very
'festively', as you'd expect.
798
01:23:06,483 --> 01:23:08,151
Who knows what it's like?
799
01:23:09,252 --> 01:23:10,286
Where we're going?
800
01:23:32,742 --> 01:23:34,844
- Hey, 'Opie'.
- Hey, 'Opie'.
801
01:23:35,311 --> 01:23:36,846
Thanks for everything, mate.
802
01:23:36,980 --> 01:23:39,082
Fantastic job.
Thank you so much.
803
01:23:43,753 --> 01:23:44,787
Here we go.
804
01:23:46,556 --> 01:23:48,391
- Congratulations.
- We haven't done it yet.
805
01:23:52,428 --> 01:23:55,532
- See you back in England.
- Yeah. See you next week.
806
01:24:32,268 --> 01:24:34,871
They're gonna see something
they've never seen before.
807
01:24:35,038 --> 01:24:37,507
And they're gonna hear something
they've never heard before.
808
01:24:38,541 --> 01:24:42,211
That's the name of the game.
809
01:24:45,648 --> 01:24:48,084
Ladies and gentlemen
810
01:24:49,485 --> 01:24:51,821
The Rolling Stones!
811
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:38,760
Yeah!
812
01:27:39,021 --> 01:27:40,021
Come on.
813
01:27:45,928 --> 01:27:48,631
For some people that have
lived through the bans
814
01:27:48,798 --> 01:27:50,800
and everything, it's a very
emotional moment.
815
01:27:50,967 --> 01:27:54,570
I talked to a lot of the older
people that were going
816
01:27:54,704 --> 01:27:57,440
and they were quite
emotional about this.
817
01:27:57,640 --> 01:27:59,408
Much more than I thought
they were gonna be.
818
01:27:59,942 --> 01:28:01,144
I mean, I'm always like,
819
01:28:01,310 --> 01:28:04,347
"Yeah, it's just The Rolling
Stones playing Cuba, so what?"
820
01:28:04,547 --> 01:28:06,749
But I realised to them
it's something
821
01:28:06,916 --> 01:28:08,756
that they never, ever thought
was gonna happen.
822
01:28:29,772 --> 01:28:30,807
Thank you!
823
01:28:33,643 --> 01:28:36,646
We know that years ago
824
01:28:36,779 --> 01:28:40,750
it was difficult to listen
to our music in Cuba.
825
01:28:43,953 --> 01:28:48,124
I think that things
are finally changing.
826
01:28:49,759 --> 01:28:51,327
Are you ready?
827
01:32:12,194 --> 01:32:13,262
Come on, Keith.
828
01:32:23,506 --> 01:32:24,506
Come on.
829
01:34:29,431 --> 01:34:30,432
Hey!
830
01:35:02,064 --> 01:35:03,632
Thank you very much, everybody!
831
01:35:05,901 --> 01:35:07,236
Thank you so much, Cuba!
832
01:36:29,852 --> 01:36:31,887
I think
it's a very poignant thing,
833
01:36:32,021 --> 01:36:34,556
that after you've been on
the road for like 50 plus years
834
01:36:34,723 --> 01:36:37,726
that you can still get together
and have a goal and achieve it.
835
01:36:38,961 --> 01:36:42,631
There is something there
that sticks us together.
836
01:36:43,565 --> 01:36:46,035
It's nothing you ever
catch us talking about.
837
01:36:47,303 --> 01:36:50,472
I feel that I'm incredibly
blessed, really.
838
01:36:51,540 --> 01:36:54,209
It's a sort of camaraderie,
isn't it?
839
01:36:55,144 --> 01:36:59,248
You don't even say anything and
you know what Ronnie means.
840
01:36:59,381 --> 01:37:01,850
You know what
Keith's laughing at.
841
01:37:01,984 --> 01:37:04,586
Or Mick, who won't even
say anything.
842
01:37:05,354 --> 01:37:07,323
It's as deep as that, I suppose.
843
01:37:08,123 --> 01:37:09,425
When the tour's finished,
844
01:37:09,591 --> 01:37:10,959
we all go our separate ways
845
01:37:11,126 --> 01:37:14,863
but there's a magic
that we all share.
846
01:37:15,798 --> 01:37:18,867
We have these amazing detailed
memories of things
847
01:37:19,034 --> 01:37:22,604
that have happened in the past,
that we've experienced together.
848
