The Rolling Stones

In November 1966, when The Rolling Stones performed at L'Olympia in Paris, they were in a dynamic phase of their career, following the release of their album "Aftermath" in April 1966. This record was significant as it marked the band's first album to feature all original compositions, showcasing their evolution from a blues-influenced cover band to innovative songwriters. The live recording from this Paris performance captures the Stones at a pivotal moment, as they were transitioning into a more sophisticated sound and image. Interestingly, the concert occurred just before the release of "Between the Buttons" in January 1967, which would further solidify their place in the rock arena. This performance is a snapshot of their growing confidence and artistry during a transformative period in their history, paving the way for their legendary status in rock music.
