The Rolling Stones - Cocksucker Blues: The Cult 1972 American Tour Documentary DVD (1972)

Recommended For 18 Years And Over Only

Cocksucker Blues is one of those enduring sub-licit channels which not only celebrates the fore, middle and background of this tour, but which also presents itself as one of the very best rock tour movies ever made, and never seen. The Stones have not visited the US since the 1969 disaster of Altamont & the group is riding high and hard on the success of their definitive album, Exile On Main Street so they enlist the talent of famous photog/filmmaker Robert Frank. Shot cinema verite, docurocku style, Cocksucker Blues is a pinball machine of images -- soft, warm, harsh, exploitive, funny, sad, boring, stupid and smart, jammed with images of excessive hard drug taking, nodding-off Stones, roadies having sex with groupies, backstage parties, naked women, heroin shoot-ups, and, yes, some great concert footage.

1. Watch everybody snort coke & shoot heroin
2. Marvel at Bobby Keyes (RIP Dec-2014) and Keith Richard as they toss a TV off their hotel balcony (first they check to see no one's below)
3. Thrill as Dick Cavett asks Bill Wyman, "what's running through your nervous system right now?" smirk as Wyman doesn't answer
4. Leer as Mick Jagger rubs his dink through his pants, then undoes them and gets his hand in for a better feel
5. Gasp as a girl trying to get into the concert complains her baby was taken from her because she's always on acid
6. Laugh to discover a scalper is charging $10 for a $3.50 ticket
7. Chuckle as a totally stoned Keith tries to order room service for some strawberries, blueberries and "three apples"
8. Look at your watch as the boys play some very drunken poker. See Keith win.
9. Ooh as Charlie Watts makes a very difficult pool shot in a southern diner
10. Make notes as Keith tells Mick it's best to snort coke through a rolled up dollar bill
