The Rolling Stones

Before the live recording of "Angie," The Rolling Stones had recently released their acclaimed double album "Exile on Main St." in 1972, which is often considered one of their best works. By the time they were performing "Angie," which was featured on their 1973 album "Goats Head Soup," the band was navigating the complexities of fame and the evolving music scene of the 1970s. "Angie" became one of their most popular ballads, showcasing a softer side of the band's rock persona. Interestingly, the song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking a significant commercial success. This period also saw the band grappling with personal issues, highlighted by the turmoil in their relationships and changing dynamics within the group, which added a deeper emotional layer to their performances and recordings during this era.
