The Rolling Stones have been rocking for decades now, but they've rarely sat still long enough to do an extended television interview. Here's a notable exception: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in a candid conversation with Today's Matt Lauer, at the beginning of the Stones' 2005-2006 world tour. Mick and Keith talk about their music, their enduring relationship, and the future of the band. Also included: vintage conversations with Mick and Keith, and a few moments with all four Rolling Stones -- together!
When he was onstage with the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia let his music do the talking. But here is a Deadhead's dream: a rare, extended conversation with Garcia and NBC's Rona Elliott from 1987, the year the Dead released "In the Dark." It's Garcia at his best: smart, funny, engaging and enthusiastic. Drummer Mickey Hart joins in halfway through the interview. Also included here: Garcia on the Today show in 1981, talking with Gene Shalit.

Here are Johnny and June together in a revealing 1990 conversation with NBC's Garrick Utley, never before seen in its entirety. They talk openly about their music, their legacy and Johnny's long struggle with substance abuse. Also included: Johnny Cash in a 1988 Today show interview with Cash fan Jane Pauley.
