On Thursday July 12th 1962 the Rolling Stones went on stage at the Marquee Club in London's Oxford Street. The week before Mick was interviewed by a music paper saying, "I hope they don't think we're a rock 'n' roll outfit". In the intervening fifty years the greatest rock and roll band in the world has performed live in front of more people than any band in history. They've had No.1 singles and albums in every country that has a popular music chart and have helped define popular culture.
