The Rolling Stones

In early 1964, The Rolling Stones were at a pivotal moment in their career, having released their self-titled debut album in the UK in April 1964. The live recording from the NME Concert captures the band in the midst of the burgeoning British Invasion, where their energetic performances began to define the rock genre. By this time, they were gaining significant media attention and a passionate fanbase, particularly among the youth. Interestingly, the concert occurred shortly after they launched their first single, "As Tears Go By," which would become a hit later that year. The band's raw and dynamic stage presence, showcased in this live performance, helped solidify their reputation as one of the leading acts of the era, setting the stage for a prolific career that would continue to evolve over decades.
