The Rolling Stones

On June 24, 1965, The Rolling Stones performed live at Messehallen in Oslo, Norway, during an exciting transitional phase in their career. This concert took place shortly after the release of their hit single "Satisfaction," which was climbing the charts and significantly increasing their popularity in the United States. At this time, the band was still evolving from their early blues roots into a more rock-oriented sound, which was evident in their performances. Notably, Brian Jones was beginning to showcase his prowess with the Firebird VII guitar, introducing a new sonic texture to their live shows. This era was crucial as it marked the band's ascent into international fame, and performances like this were instrumental in solidifying their reputation as one of the premier live acts of the rock era. The Oslo show was part of their first tour in Scandinavia, highlighting their expanding global reach during the mid-1960s.
