The Rolling Stones

In January 1966, The Rolling Stones were riding high on the success of their recent studio album, "December's Children (And Everybody's),” which had been released in late 1965. This album included hits like "Get Off of My Cloud" and showcased the band's ability to fuse rock and rhythm and blues. The live performance in the video captures the Stones at a pivotal moment in their career, as they were transitioning from their early rock and blues roots towards a more eclectic sound that would include elements of psychedelia. Notably, during this period, they were gaining a reputation for their energetic live performances and burgeoning rock royalty status, all while facing competition from other emerging bands. Their ability to resonate with audiences during this live recording exemplified their growing influence and popularity in the 1960s music scene.
