The Rolling Stones

In early 1967, when The Rolling Stones performed live in Milan, they were riding high on the success of their album "Aftermath," which was released in April that year. This album marked a significant shift in their music, showcasing a more experimental approach that included original songwriting and a departure from the rhythm and blues roots they were initially known for. The live recording in Milan captures the band at a transformative moment in their career, as they were beginning to establish their identity as a leading rock group in the world. Notably, this performance occurred just before the release of their iconic single "Paint It Black," which would further solidify their prominence in the rock genre. Additionally, this concert was part of their European tour, emphasizing their growing popularity and the evolving nature of their live shows, characterized by a blend of energy and musical innovation.
