Don't waste your money
Stupidly, I bought this box set thinking that there must be something worthwhile for the Stones fan. I mean, five disks ought to contain something of some interest, right? Forget it. Buying this set was a major mistake. The interviews (apart from those with Mick Taylor and Anita Pallenburg) were amateurish; the footage was nothing to write home about; and, there was no Stones music whatsoever -just this irritating, bush-league, Keef-like riff (actually, there were two riffs, designed to sound like Honky Tonk Women and Brown Sugar) inserted at "opportune" moments (like when the band was playing). Forty clams down the drain. Hopefully, a used CD store will take it off my hands at a 75% haircut.

Unauthorized for a good reason: No songs, No performances!
Bogus and Unauthorized! I got both 5 VHS, and 5 DVDs.
I was only fooling myself. I watched the 5 VHS tapes, starting with the 1964 1st VHS. There are NO complete songs from the early 1960's era, NONE. I also could not find any studio or live performances by The Rolling Stones, NOTHING! Genuine original Rolling Stones LPs, EPs, CDs' and videos WILL have the Andy Warhol 'Tounge' logo, abkco, London, and/or DECCA registered Trademarks, (TM). This Unauthorized set of VHS, and DVD should be burned. I'd suggest 25X5, "Lets Spend The Night Together", plus the TNT/Tami show for the REAL Rolling Stones performances, authorized legitimate products. As an 'afficinado/fan' of the original 5 Rolling Stones + the 1969-tour 'Mick Taylor' 5 Rolling Stones, I rate this Unauthorized set as SBB, "Should Be Burned!" It's lacking in substance, like even an entire studio or live COMPLETE song track or video performance, no Rolling Stones content =Unauthorized. Don't purchase this item, you WILL be singing (I Can't Get No)'Satisfaction!' Buy the Volume 2 DECCA vinyl, it's GREAT!
Andrew A! 40 + year Rolling Stones 'fan.'

No music at all
This is not a music video - it is everything but ... As a documentary film which misses the product of the people whose life it is documenting, it is acceptable. If you want their music, don't buy it.

The authors had no rights to the music and had no cooperation from the Rolling Stones and it shows.

THIS SHOW ROCKS!!!!
I love the Stones, and this show is great! I've always dug the music but I never knew too much about how they started- but this show explained it all. Some of the writers on this show are really good documentary makers, I've seen their work before. I've read other complaints below, but you have to realize that this is an unauthorized show- YOU CAN'T PLAY THEIR MUSIC! This is the undercover history of the good and bad of the band from those that were there: the drugs, the fights, the songs! And I should know, I'm Fortunato Plethora!

Just for die hard fans!
This DVD-collection contains no music by the stones, no interviews of stones members, only their history illustrated by some footage. The only interesting thing about this is other artists talking about their experiences and feelings about the band we all love so much. But it's hardly worth the price.
