'Crossfire Hurricane' review: Rolling Stones' early years

"Crossfire Hurricane" takes the band from its early days as a blues-rock cover band through the release of the "Some Girls" album in 1978 and the corresponding tour, which the band sees as the start of the second major chapter in its legendary career. Though they certainly cover the heady early days, filled with screaming girls and their cultivated persona as the anti-Beatles, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards aren't afraid to keep it real. Both show some interesting insights into their success, with Jagger revealing how he portrays a different character for each of the band's singles, and Richards saying that "Midnight Rambler" is the song he is most proud of in the band's catalog.

They cover the darkest moments of the band's career -- the death of guitarist Brian Jones, their arrests for drug use, and the tragic Altamont concert. Jagger said the Rolling Stones realized their concerts tapped into something bigger in the culture, where their music was only half of the experience, while "the other half of the show is participating in a riot."
