Executive producer of the sets, Andrew Solt, told Billboard:
| “The best Rolling Stones TV performances are on these shows. On the concert films and on other shows you don’t get the same production values, and here the sound is as good as the visuals. … Groups knew they would appear in front of 35 million people so they rehearsed and made sure they would look good before going on. Knowing they were playing live on TV made them do their best.” |
