Description
Crossfire Hurricane, directed by Brett Morgen, is released as part of the ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations of The Rolling Stones. This superb new film tells the story of the Stones' unparalleled journey from blues obsessed teenagers in the early 60s to their undisputed status as rock royalty. All the members of The Rolling Stones have been newly interviewed and their words form the narrative arc that links together archive footage of performances, news coverage, and interviews, much of it previously unseen. Taking its title from a lyric in "Jumpin' Jack Flash", Crossfire Hurricane gives the viewer an intimate insight into exactly what it's like to be part of The Rolling Stones as they overcome denunciation, drugs, dissensions and death to become the definitive survivors. Over a year in the making and produced with the full co-operation and involvement of The Rolling Stones, Crossfire Hurricane is and will remain the definitive story of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band.

More about this title

About the Artist: The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones emerged from London's blues revival in 1962, transforming American blues traditions into a signature sound that would define rock music for decades. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and their collaborators built a reputation for uncompromising artistry, stage presence, and longevity that few bands have matched. Their influence on songwriting, performance, and studio innovation continues to shape how musicians approach rock music across all levels of study and practice.

Why we love this

This documentary offers musicians and students an insider's perspective on how a working band evolves over time, overcomes internal and external pressures, and sustains creative output across decades. The newly filmed interviews with band members provide context for understanding their songwriting process, musical influences, and the practical realities of professional touring and recording. For anyone studying rock music history or the mechanics of how bands function, this is primary source material directed by an acclaimed filmmaker.

What to expect

Raw, energetic, and genuinely revealing. The film captures the electricity of early rock and roll performance while grounding the narrative in the real struggles, relationships, and choices that shaped the band's trajectory. You hear the music alongside stories of creative risk-taking and persistence.

Who it's for

This Blu-Ray is valuable for music history classes, rock music curricula, and students who want to deepen their understanding of how iconic rock bands developed their sound and maintained creative momentum. It serves instructors teaching popular music studies, music history, or the business and cultural side of the music industry.

How to get the most out of it

  • Use this as a reference for understanding the harmonic and rhythmic foundations of 1960s rock; many of these songs appear in covers and arrangements for student ensembles.
  • Pay attention to how the band's arrangement choices evolved between the early performances shown here and their later recordings; note what elements remained constant.
  • Study the live performances included in the bonus features to hear how songs translate from studio versions to stage, particularly the handling of dynamics and phrasing.

How to use it

Screen relevant segments in a rock history unit or music business course to illustrate how bands develop their identity and maintain relevance over time. The bonus concert footage works particularly well in contexts where students are studying how live performance differs from studio recordings, or as background viewing when teaching rock songwriting and arrangement.

Skills your students will build

  • Understanding the evolution of rock music from blues roots to stadium rock
  • Recognizing how songwriting and arrangement change across an artist's career
  • Analyzing live performance choices and their effect on audience engagement
  • Contextualizing music within its historical and cultural moment
