It is a bit of the 1960s that will be exhibited at the Stade Vélodrome.
From June 10 until September 5, the temple of Marseille football is hosting “
Unzipped
”, an exhibition dedicated to the Rolling Stones.
At the microphone of France Inter Monday, Mick Jagger presented - in French - a retrospective "
full of costumes, full of guitars
".
Fans will also find a recreation of the band's famous apartment on Edith Grove Street in London.
Album covers and song lyrics will also be on display.

Enough to soak up the band's music but also a whole era, the one during which it reached its peak.
Mick Jagger believes that the end of the Sixties was certainly “
a very 'sexual' time
”, but “
not only
”
.
Some songs were also more "
romantic
"
,
even "
philosophical
"
.
But the singer is not for all that spokesperson of
"it was better before"
, which would caricature the current time as puritanical, at the antipodes of the unbridled sixties.
“
Every era is different, it's hard to make comparisons.
In the 1960s and 1970s, you had a lot of tension with people who wanted to keep a certain morality, a certain way of life, a lot more respect for the rules
, says Mick Jagger.
Now that is completely gone.
But you have other rules.
People say 'we can't say what we want anymore'.
But in all eras, there have been a lot of things that you could not say.

It is this nuanced look at the 1960s that will be exhibited in Marseille. Mick Jagger has some memories in Marseille. “
I did a concert in the 60s, someone threw an object at me and it hurt my forehead a bit
,” he recalls.
So I left the stage for a few minutes, then I came back. It was a very small room.
"Times have changed a lot since it is now in a big sports arena that the Stones are received. The group seems to cross the ages and seduce young audiences, a success that Mick Jagger considers "
inexplicable
". The singer of the group is delighted, and says he is "
very lucky to continue to make music and to go on stage
".
