The History Of The NME Awards
A no-holds-barred romp through six decades of rock 'n' roll excess.
1968
Yet another scoop ensues when The Rolling Stones make an unannounced appearance. NME journalist Nick Logan is exultant: “You could feel the Empire Pool shaking to its foundations as the roar went up for their first British concert appearance in nearly two years and on came Mick, Brian, Keith, Bill and Charlie. 'Jumpin' Jack Flash', their new single, was inaudible above the din and 'Satisfaction' was only recognisable because of its familiarity - but no-one cared about that. So who says today's pop lacks excitement?” Roger Moore is invited back to dole out trophies to the Stones, Dusty Springfield, The Bee Gees, Lulu and The Shadows, and live attractions include Cream, The Association, Scott Walker, The Herd, Amen Corner, Love Affair and a youthful Status Quo.
