The Rolling Stones, 1964 by John ‘Hoppy’ Hopkins

Here is Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones playing at an all night gig to launch their single ‘All Over Now’. This was taken at about 4.30am and by that time the crowd had thinned out leaving only the most enthusiastic fans. Hoppy chose this viewpoint so you could see both the singer and the audience.
