...KEEF!" Jagger shouts at his guitarist during the first of two red-hot performances in Hartford, Ct. last October. "Keef! Do you remember when it was the last time we played this tune, man?" Jagger just announced "Down the Road a Piece," a Chuck Berry classic off of the group's first album...
John. Paul, George and Ringo created havoc because wherever they went; teenage girls were likely to collapse in great numbers or infiltrate hotels on search-and-scream missions.
