The Rolling Stones played their first gig 50 years ago this week — July 12, 1962, at London’s Marquee Club. To celebrate the band’s golden anniversary, here are five TV nuggets:

v First U.S. appearance: It was on the ABC variety show “The Hollywood Palace” on June 13, 1964. Host Dean Martin mocked their hair and cracked true to character: “I’ve been rolled while I’ve been stoned.” The boys played “I Just Want to Make Love to You” and “Not Fade Away.”

v “Mike Douglas”: Hard to believe, but the Stones appeared on “The Mike Douglas Show” (June 25, 1964), whose viewers were mainly middle- aged housewives. Songs played: “Oh, Carol,” “Tell Me” and “Not Fade Away.”

v “Ed Sullivan”: The Stones’ first of six appearances on “The Ed Sullivan Show” was Oct. 25, 1964. When the band left the stage, an increasingly miffed Sullivan had difficulty quieting the unruly, shrieking audience. They played “Around and Around” and closed the show with “Time Is on My Side.”

v Compromise: Their most infamous Sullivan appearance took place on Jan. 15, 1967. Sullivan ordered the band to change the lyrics of “Let’s Spend the Night Together” to “Let’s Spend Some Time Together.” So Jagger complied as best he could — during the live performance, he rolled his eyes and sarcastically uttered the revised lyric.

v No Stones: The Stones never appeared on “American Bandstand.”
