HBO Debut.

ROLLING STONES: Down Documentary Debut

The latest Rolling Stones documentary, Crossfire Hurricane, will debut on HBO Thursday night at 9 ET. Produced as part of their 50th anniversary celebration, the two-hour film does not encapsulate the 50 years, but rather a series of obstacles the band has overcome including the riots that were a common occurrence at their shows in the '60s, the drug busts, the death of guitarist Brian Jones, the murder at their performance at the Altamont Festival and their fleeing to France to avoid the U.K. tax collector.

Mick Jagger tells us, "That's one of the story lines of the film... Like in life there are down moments in people's lives... In the film I didn't want to accentuate the down moments, but there are certainly peaks and lows."

The Stones attended the U.S. premiere of Crossfire Hurricane Tuesday night in New York, and on Wednesday night they were at New York's Museum of Modern Art for a reception in celebration of The Rolling Stones: 50 Years on Film retrospective that opens to the public on Thursday and runs through December 2nd. The band will then head back to London to resume rehearsals for their two shows there later this month followed by three in the New York City-area in December.
