The Rolling Stones

In November 1963, The Rolling Stones were on the cusp of their explosive rise to fame, having released their self-titled debut album earlier that year. The live performance captured at ABC Cinema in Hull showcases their burgeoning popularity as they captivated a youthful audience on the brink of the British Invasion. Just prior to this recording, the band had achieved their first significant chart success with the single "As Tears Go By," which was written for them by Rolling Stones' teammate Mick Jagger and Keith Richards along with Rolling Stones’ collaborator, Rolling Stones’ guitarist Brian Jones. This period signified a crucial moment in their career, as they were transitioning from a club band to international icons, laying the groundwork for the legendary status they would ultimately achieve. The lively atmosphere seen in the video also reflects the band's energetic performances, which would soon define their live shows.
