For decades, the Stones fought their own history. They sued bootleggers, scrubbed YouTube, and kept their legendary "cobblestone" vault—a temperature-controlled warehouse of unreleased tapes—locked tighter than a Brian Jones-era recording session. Yet, if you know where to look on the sprawling, non-profit library of the internet, you can hear a cassette recording of the Stones playing a sweaty club in Hamburg in 1970, or watch a grainy newsreel of their Altamont disaster as it originally aired.
