The Rolling Stones - Come On Performance on Ready Steady Go

Location: London Date: August 8, 1963

In August 1963, just around the time of their performance on "Ready Steady Go," The Rolling Stones were early in their career, having released their debut album, "The Rolling Stones," in April of that year. This album included their first hit single, "As Tears Go By." The "Ready Steady Go" appearance marked a significant moment for the band, as they were beginning to establish themselves in the burgeoning British rock scene alongside contemporaries like The Beatles. This live performance also illustrated the band's dynamic stage presence, which would soon become a hallmark of their long-lasting career. At this stage, they were still cultivating their unique sound, primarily influenced by blues, which they later expanded into their own signature style. The combination of raw energy and youthful charisma during this performance helped pave the way for their eventual status as rock legends.
