The Rolling Stones

In January 1967, during a pivotal moment in their career, The Rolling Stones performed "Under My Thumb" live at L'Olympia in Paris. This performance came shortly after the release of their album "Aftermath," which debuted in April 1966 and showcased a shift towards more original material, featuring songwriting by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. "Under My Thumb," a notable track from this album, exemplifies the band's embrace of new textures, incorporating marimbas and complex arrangements, which reflected the evolving rock landscape of the time. This live recording was part of a European tour aimed at promoting their burgeoning reputation, and it was notable for being broadcast on Radio Europe 1's "Musicorama," highlighting their growing popularity in the live performance circuit. The concert in Paris marked an important era of their development, bridging early rock and the experimental phase that would follow.
