The Rolling Stones

In July 1965, during a pivotal moment in their career, The Rolling Stones performed live at Forest Hills Stadium in New York, where they delivered the iconic hit "Satisfaction." This period marked the height of their early fame, shortly after the release of their album *Out of Our Heads*, which had dropped in September 1965 and included the original version of "Satisfaction." At this point, the band was transitioning from their early rhythm and blues roots into a more distinct rock identity, emphasizing their original compositions. The performance in this footage is notable not only for its historical significance as one of their earliest filmed concerts but also due to the relatively quiet audience, allowing listeners to really appreciate the band’s musicianship and sound at a time when they were rapidly ascending to superstardom. This event encapsulated the burgeoning energy of rock 'n' roll as The Rolling Stones began to define the genre's landscape.
