The Rolling Stones | Meeting Brigitte Bardot and Françoise Hardy in Paris (1966)

April, 1966.
A journalist from a British magazine travels with the Rolling Stones to Paris, where they are scheduled to play at the Olympia. The Stones meet Brigitte Bardot, among others, and several adventures follow.
So voilà, here are the Stones' adventures in Paris.
Hope you enjoy it.

Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Michael Phillip Jagger, Brigitte Bardot, Francoise Hardy, Marianne Faithful and probably Anita all in the same room in 1966. Mindblowing.

@@Lightw81 You ended your list rather abruptly and, as a result, left out some other features> These are the features that really make this channel great: 1) Selection of topics-each of the topics presented sheds light on what was going on with the rock music business back in those early years. 2) Assemblage of material pertaining to that topic. In this case involving tracking down copies of, now extremely rare, music papers. 3) Selection of images and texts to illustrate the points being made. 4) Research, including accessing footage-some of it extremely rare. 5) Hours and hours of editing to assemble the material and create a unified whole.

In March of 2020 I wrote a song called Ghost Town about the streets of Hollywood. A month later I was waiting for the bus at Hollywood and Vine. There were literally 2 other people from horizon to horizon. I took a hit and pulled my AA-10 baby guitar to my chest and did my little song and dance. 1/2 block to the east a white late-model van was very slowly creeping up right next to the sidewalk. There was a well-groomed young professional man in the passenger seat holding what I assumed to be a camera and his focus on the tiny monitor was that of a pro doing their job. Obviously he focused the camera on me with my little guitar, headphones (noise cancellation) and T-1000 shades. Many people see me and think "homeless creep". I disagree. A month or two later I was in KZbin and there is a video of the Stones doing Ghost in a Ghost Town, something like that. I watched the footage of the camera creeping down Hollywood Boulevard and I knew immediately that my part of the L.A. ghost town was cut out. Mick, you glorious basterd. I want my scene put back in, please. Cheers.

[@YesterdaysPapers]

A similar thing happened to me. I wrote a song called "Paint It Black" when I was in New Delhi back in 1966. The BBC was doing a documentary about the pariahs of India and they filmed me playing that song near the Yamuna river. The Stones saw the documentary on TV and a couple months later my song "Paint It Black" was all over the charts and it was credited to Jagger/Richards.

I read that when Bardot met the Beatles ('63 or '64) they couldn't communicate at all, as they spoke no French and she spoke no English. Interesting that 2 or 3 years later she got along so well with the Stones.

[@YesterdaysPapers]

I think Jagger spoke french.

[@Camille_Anderson]

Bardot speaks English.

[@PotrzebieConolly]

@@Camille_Anderson Here's a quote from photographer Terry O'Neill "I had been hired to get publicity images from the set of The Legend of Frenchie King, a [1971] film Brigitte Bardot was doing in Spain with Claudia Cardinale. I had photographed Brigitte before, although we never really became friends. She didn't try to speak English, so she kept up this barrier between us."

[@PotrzebieConolly]

Well, whatever I remembered about the Beatles/Bardot story seems to be incorrect: "Journalist Michael Braun, who accompanied the Beatles on their first trip to Paris, at the end of April and begining of May, recalled that they'd made a specific request to their French record company that they'd like to meet up with Brigitte Bardot during their visit. 'All of the Beatles, apparently, shared a desire to meet Mlle Bardot. The following morning a large box of candy arrived in their suite. Accompanying it was a card off the director of their French record company. "Unfortunately," it read, "Brigitte Bardot is detained in Brazil! Let's hope these sweets will make up for her." One problem with the above is that their first trip to Paris was a 3 week engagement at the Olympia Theatre that started January 16 1964, not April. I also read that it was May, 1968, that John Lennon met Bardot for the only time, at the Mayfair Hotel in London. He took LSD before the visit. “The only thing I said to [Bardot] all night was 'Hello,' when we went to shake hands with her,” Lennon reportedly told [long-time friend Pete] Shotton. “Then she spent the whole time talking in French with her friends, and I could never think of anything to say. It was a terrible night -- worse than meeting Elvis. "

[@willieluncheonette5843]

Ah...the old days when it was verboten for the audience to come up on stage. Hardcore changed all that, and for the better I think. Aftermath was the first Stones' album where the studio recording quality was really good. It a terrific album but at 52 minutes long, the sound of the original LP pressing suffers a bit on playback because LP's were not meant to hold that much music. Better heard on a good mastered CD in this instance.

[@YesterdaysPapers]

The problem with the remastered CD versions is that it's usually the reprocessed stereo mix, which I don't particularly like. I found a first pressing of the album in mono a few years ago and the sound is amazing. Sounds way more natural, the drums sound terrific and the mix is more punchy. I definitely recommend the mono version of that record.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

@@YesterdaysPapers The SACD issued on ABKCO in 2002 sounds terrific. They searched world wide for the best available tapes and it shows. If I remember correctly it's the stereo version. Don't think I've ever heard the mono.

@@willieluncheonette5843 Check out the mono version if you have the chance. It's really good.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

@@YesterdaysPapers will do. I know I prefer the mono versions of all the early Stones albums but that is an easy call. That ABKCO hybrid SACD/CD series does contain the songs recorded in stereo the Stones cut at Chess Studios and those do sound wonderful

[@willieluncheonette5843]

@@steveconn I take your word for it, but that was still not allowed, right? My point was in hardcore, for the most part, the divide between band and audience disappeared and members of the audience going up on stage was common. and allowed

Which is a small price to pay for this never ending party . Of which the biggest scam is that Watts was replaced in an instant. If there ever was an opportunity to bow out gracefully it was now .
