TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY JAMES PHEBY (FILES) A file picture taken in Benidorm, Spain, on September 25, 2003, shows Rolling Stones members lead singer Mick Jagger (R), Ron Wood (C) and Keith Richards (L). Most London shoppers rush by 165 Oxford Street without a second glance -- but it was here 50 years ago that The Rolling Stones played their first gig and changed the landscape of pop music forever. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones played The Marquee Club on July 12, 1962 with three others, the first time they performed under the band name which would become synomymous worldwide with excess and muscial flair.
