Rolling Stones - Kurhaus 1964

[Ovalvox]

Does anyone know if the whole show is recorded and where I could find it to see it? Before everyone rioted. Would love to see the stones playing these early songs live.

[LiquorWreckedEmGood]

"...something funny always happens when we start that number..."

oh wait, that was Altamont.

[tataso]

great registre !!

[aponcapone]

Im from Holland and i can not even imagine that before this band a dutch comedian did his performance. His name is Andre van Duin and he is famous here but him and the stones are no combination haha

[NadineBlondine14]

geniaaaaaal

[MetalThrashingMad87]

haha this is great.

i just slept a couple of days ago in the kurhaus

[powerpats]

The police underestimated the concert greatly there only was like 3 officers there for a crowd of like 100

[y0utubemetube]

Now that's what you call a great concert!There was a similar great brawl at a Bill Haley Gig only a few years before-the performing stage was covered with thrown chairs!

[gootenslog]

Is there an english interpretatin of the this video? I would love to hear what they are saying

[Ovalvox]

Two songs. Mona and Suzie Q and that was the whole show.

[MrDemilord]

@Ovalvox there were played 5 songs

[Ovalvox]

@MrDemilord Do you know the five songs? Bill Wyman in his book made it sound like the riot happened instantaineously. The only time I've seen Brian Jones play Mona live and do his Bo Diddley run down the fretboard of his guitar.

[maurostone76]

@Ovalvox Las 5 canciones fueron: Beautiful delilah-Walkin the dog-High heel sneakers-Susie Q y Mona. Stu fue golpeado en la cabeza con una botella y lo tuvieron que llevar al hospital.

[SUNNYRHOADES9]

wow they caused Pandnomonia In 1964 -Wild Cheers Boys From Canada

[fabfourgroupie]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

[vanu49]

At 1:45 I kinda like somebody saying: Theres a woman pregnant!!!????...those were the days???...I dont know!!!!!

[piggystardust]

@vanu49 I pushed those guys back... i said there's a woman pregnant.

[TheRedpeadar]

@vanu49 no pregnant chicks then you could not have sex unless you were 30 plus and a house-owner ha ha

[GravityBoy72]

Those were the days.

Great video.

[pbmax]

Wow, now that's what I call a good concert - pure excitement!!!!

Why doesn't this kind of stuff happen today!!!!!

[PegasusRockNRoll]

Wow! Mosh pits nowadays can't even compare to this.

[gravesj11]

thats the germans for you

[MannyMUC]

For me, it is more like the Netherlands, but Dutch and Deutsch is close together

[mrgoodvibrations]

mayhem and rock and roll

[Ovalvox]

The Stones featuring Brian doing his Bo Diddley runs on Mona and Keith playing lead on Suzie Q. To bad this concert has never been marketed in its entirety. Even if it was only four or five songs before the riot started. It is now beyond legendary.

[delfia406]

Oh..1964!! For me such a magical year. It was talk of the town. Our town: The Hague/Scheveningen. I was a kid at that time, but very interested in beatmusic. And then came 1965: an explosion of beatgroups from The Hague. Golden Earrings, Q65, Motions, Group 1850,.. felt like heaven...

[MemphisBlueAgain]

Indeed some hard rocking performance here, is it "Suzie Q"?

[mabelleamie]

hhhhhh

[ZeropointZero70]

Hey! Check it out @ 0:33! The first stage dive at a rock concert! That guy had no idea that he was a trendsetter!

[sigu655]

LoL! You're right!

[MartyRotten]

Well this was the sixties equivilant of punk rock.

[will98273]

@MartyRotten Yea! And it was the Stones! Rock On!

[paulianna1]

kids today with what they call thier hard rock -- nowhere near as wild as these kids! -- noone does battle with the boys in blue at rock shows anymore,too worried about jepordizing that golden future they imagine thier entitled to (plus nowadays the pigs just call you a terrorist and shoot you)

[lauradorp]

Yes people,

this was in Holland. The audience get xrazy from the music hahaha and this was what happened. HISTORY.

[Quimbaz]

Kurhaus is in Scheveningen, Holland

so I think it´s dutch

[matthiasbrook]

Interesting historical clips. Amazing to see these rowdy pop shows at these old Edwardian-era opera houses. They were so badly trashed!

[robldi]

i'm german and i tell you that it is dutch^^

[tiptopdadddy]

Is this the show where Mick goosestepped across the stage giving the seig heil at the behest of Andrew Loog Oldham thus starting a riot?

[7777srd]

I love Keith insisting on his solo in spite of the suits kicking fans down front - fucking consummate Professional!

Absolutely no disrespect intended; That's what today is called 'focus'. Brilliant clip.

[narmon238]

you just don't see this level of excitement and chaos at shows anymore

[kiely]

narmon238, you must be going to the wrong shows.

[narmon238]

i guess so

[kinkman07091979]

wild document!!!

[Mugsel]

LOL - those where the days... Crowd got out of control, so the police dragged in the horse-brigade...

It was fun while it lastefd.

[billygrantgardner]

this video is so awesome

[kickassfan]

The vibe here is great ..imagine at 15 grooving this badly 44 years ago...this rocks.

[Timtation10]

geweldig..,mn pa was hierbij.

heeft nog wat van die gemeentecowboys neergespoten met een brandslang. :)

[realitycheck333]

Here Sgt. Timmer, have a chair to the face!

[SpirAn1971]

If this was in the Netherlands how come the venue has a German name?

[mokhotlong]

Good question, I don't know. But it is defenitly in Holland it is in Den Haag (the Hague), and more precisly in Scheveningen near the beach.

[SpirAn1971]

Thanks for that info! :)

[bonus73]

because rich germans, in the old days, came to the kurhaus for a kur. hence the name.

[SpirAn1971]

Thanks bonus73.

[bonus73]

sure spiran, my pleasure. are you dutch or german. where are you from

[SpirAn1971]

I am British, but I can speak German and a little Dutch. I am into languages generally and I can tell the difference between those two!

[bonus73]

kicke man. dus jij begrijp me wel als ik tegen je lul

[SpirAn1971]

Thus I understand you well when you do what to my dick?!

[jesseymsi]

lullen means talking

or dicks, but in some accents its called talking.

[SpirAn1971]

"Thus you understand me well if I talk against (to?) you"

[jesseymsi]

ye sort of .. i guess?

uh what was the question again?

[SpirAn1971]

bonus asked if I was Dutch, I said no but that I can speak some Dutch, he replied with a bit of Dutch and I tried to translate it

[jesseymsi]

ah yes, but literally lullen means dicks.

but its in some places in Holland, it means ''talking''. I use ''lullen'' all the time, bcuz its the accent here. :P

[terrymod]

sounds like Dutch to me.....

[mndandy]

I think the second tune is a total amphetamine punk version of Suzie-Q (or at least that's the riff they're playing.) Why couldn't they always sound this unhinged?!

Mick: "This can't go on forever!" It should have.... What an incredible groove.

[oswald622]

what's the name of the first song they're playing?

[mokhotlong]

The first song you hear on this vid. is called 'Mona' (also called 'I Need You Baby') from their first album just called 'the Rolling Stones'. The second one you hear is 'High Healed Sneakers' (never released on record). Normally it has Mick's vocals with it but as you can hear him say, he doesn't has a microphone.

[piroipo1]

Yeah! He doesn't has a microphone 'cause someone in the crowd has stolen!!! and a policeman is tryng to get it back dragging the wire... as you can see at 1.36!!!

[pinobot]

Jan Schaper, the cameraman who filmed this, died today at the age of 86.

[audie83]

Aww! RIP to a great cameraman who shot some historical footage of one of Rock's greatest bands.

[V624161]

we gaan tier in brokken slaan ja ja joepie ja ja joepie love the stones cis uit bossuit

[NSW2040]

The original stage-divers....I love it!!!

[rollingstones1965]

Very danceable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flickofdaswitch]

Fuck getting to the bar !!

[knekelwijn]

Later that night the police on horse went in the room to smash the fans with flat sabels.

In general: This Stones concert was the first at the mainland in Europe. Riots (in the ballroom of the fancy hotel Kurhaus and in the centre of The Hague) dured until midnight. The Stones played only 5 songs. There is a bootleg of the concert, but it is very hard to get.

[knekelwijn]

At 3:09 While the chaos got bigger, the police tried to calm down the audience. Policeman Timmer:I was asked to help the other officers,cause people were demolishing the ballroom. I thought that it was a small riot, but it seemed there were fights from the beginning. At a certain point we had to pull back. At 4:01 The fan explains that the police got in panic.

[knekelwijn]

Well,at 0:45 a spectator says that the people on the stage were trapping on the hands of the audience "You could hear the bones breaking".

At 0:53 "Downstairs the fans of the band are hurt" At 1:43 I have pushed the guys away cause a woman is pregnant, Woman says; it's madmanshouse.

[featherysunshine]

For the idiots like me who can't speak fluent Dutch, can we please have some sort of translation???

[italiarovinata]

Question for drummers: it seems that Charlie was playing in matched grip - Is it possible?

[audie83]

Thank you for posting this! This is some awesome vintage Stones footage. :)

[kickassfan]

They all look so cute and young!!!! I love u Stones!!!!!

[keinekonkurenz]

Y-a-t´il quelqu´un qui sait si le Code Bonus PLATINUM marche aussi dans d´autres salles de poker et pas seulement sur Everestpoker com? J´ai lu que Everestpoker com n´accordera ce bonus extraordinaire que pour peu de temps, et avoir 150$ ou ne les avoir pas, ça fait une grande différence !

[IdolHans]

This riot was instrumental in cementing the Stones infamy. The early days were awesome. Word spread and the crowds got bigger every night. The rest is history.

[redpeadar]

thats not a riot its just a group of men pulling their wire and the crowd pulling it back

[robin14669]

Charlie Watts' drumkit was stolen during/after this very short Dutch show. And Ian Stewart got injured. As Keith later said: 'I saw a pool of blood where the pianist had supposed to be'.

[realitycheck333]

thanks for that info robin. interesting. anyone know where it was that keith almost got strangled by his scarf when two girls pulled and ran in opposite direction? I think he was playing in Sacramento when it rained and he was electrocuted.

[PAULLONDEN]

Crowd surfing we invented it .

[khorshidezar]

Damn they were exciting back then. Mick couldn't sing because the microphone wire was torn out. I know a bloke who actually was there. The whole concert just lastet about six minutes.

[crazyolddoll]

Oh man, GET OVER IT. Those of you who are Still comparing the beatles/stones, b o r i n g. Totally different bands. One band was a studio band, the other was more a live band, guess which is which, and get over it already.

[madmanduck]

Early proof that punk was coming

[bluerondoo]

Hey you got that right!!

[kiely]

punk existed way before this. See Hasil Adkins. Just after this is The Monks .. way more punk than anything on eMTv. the first punk wave was around 1966 (in my opinion ... please no arguements. it isn't worth the time).

[mobile513]

Truth!

I didn't know who Hasil Adkins was though, but now I do. Awesome! Thank you.

[ssballs]

I'd say a 63-64.

[knekelwijn]

Well, I agree that the Beatles had a big influence, but to be honest; Changing periods is now a days a image and marketing thing, so you are correct about that. Take The Who for example.

Nevertheless, The Stones as a live group, I think, is unbeatable. They started and ended the rock 'n roll decade. Making good records in studios is something completely different.

[telluride117]

stage dives, make me feel of the grave

[PAULLONDEN]

Zé Strolling Bones in het Knekelhaus €;~]

[knekelwijn]

Well, you can say The Beatles were the first one, and they made the best songs. But your parents listened to The Beatles. The Stones on the other hand were the boys you would not have as your son in law. That means a lot, to my opinion. The Stones changed the innocent Elvis society, into sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. You can't give The Beatles credits for that.

But anyway, songs like Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the devil are absolutely brilliant.

[PreacherofArrakeen]

That's plain wrong. The Beatles did just as much, if not more, drugs than the Stones, and had as many girls as well. The press just didn't report it. The whole Beatles vs Stones thing was dreamed up by Andrew Loog Oldham as a marketing tool to set the Stones apart from the Beatles. At some point, Jagger, Richard and Jones bought into their image, and became it. Jagger went to the London School of Economics, FChrSake..

[Joris04]

*grin* Geweldig..!

[demonsbutterfly]

is this footage from holland?? No wonder Mick and Kieth want to keep the stones alive, even though they are now a corporation. The Beatles only dreamt of that shit. Andrew Loog would have been smiling in the wings that nite!!

[METALLIslayerCA]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOW

THE ROLLING STONES super ROCK BAND!!!!!!!!!!

[TerryOlinger]

On fire video!

[realitycheck333]

Damn check out the stage diving! Guess this was punk rock 1964. Quick, close the curtains before these barbarian Viking kids get out of hand! What did Mick once say about a show really making it when it achieved complete madness? Here ya go!

[hplatz]

Didn't start with the Stones. Ever hear of Beatlemania? I had to watch the movie Hard Day's Night 3 or 4 times because the girls in the movie theatre were screaming constantly and jumping on the stage, clawing at the movie screen!! Love both bands, but with The Beatles it BEGAN with madness, no question about achieving it.

[66KAJA66]

Beatles??? Didnt that band break up 40 years ago??

[hplatz]

Point?

Back then, we grieved, but history shows the most bands lose their edge, as original artists, after a few years. The Stones lasted longer, but they peaked in the early 70s. They might as well have disbanded 30 years ago. The world could stand the loss of their product since not to mention the sight of jagger and richards turning into skeletons. That said, as live acts, I'm sure they retained their vitality longer. There are a lot of great acts on the oldies circuit.

[66KAJA66]

Ive seen the stones live twice in the past 4 years, my only complaint was their choice of material not the quality of the music...

[jasona7]

i guess stage diving in 1986/1987 wasn't a new thing......

[iwyarmy]

love this video!

[tedGEGI]

sort of funny how the stage presence by the "authorities" would be duplicated at altamont with the hell's angels
