Dick Cavett, MSG, Exile-era Stones
July 1972, backstage before Madison Square Garden: Dick Cavett sits with Mick Jagger (and Bill Wyman) while the Stones’ American tour is already a travelling storm. Cavett probes fame, politics, and the circus around Exile on Main St.; Jagger answers in that dry London drawl that turns every serious question into a sidestep and a spark.
The clip is less confession than a performance of control. You hear the tour humming behind the curtain, and a frontman who already owns the room.
