Tonight’s mystery artists had almost instant popularity when they started out. In fact, in the early day their fans would get so out of control they seldom got to finish a concert. Can you guess who they might be??

Surprise it wasn’t the Beatles, our overnight success was their kind of alter ego, the Rolling Stones. Back in the early day it is said that anywhere the Stones performed within days kids were queuing around the block. In an interview with 60 minutes in Australia while on their Golden Anniversary Tour in 2014, Mick Jagger said of their early times: “you could say it was a bit of a nightmare time, it was funny and at the same time scary as well.” He goes on to say when fans rushed the group:  "it really could have gone either way" and because of the fracas they didn’t finish many concerts. It is a great interview with the band where Ronnie Wood. Said” It’s a great feeling to see the little nips getting turned on to the same music as their great grandparents and we’re the common bond. Still tours after all these years when needless to say they don’t need the money is because according to Keith Richards, is because you get the itch. Keith went on to say that in his youth rock and roll turned music from black and white into Technicolor.
