The Rolling Stones

On May 12, 1968, The Rolling Stones performed at the NME Pollwinners Concert in London, marking a significant moment in their career as it was the last public live show for legendary member Brian Jones. At this time, the band had just released their album "Their Satanic Majesties Request" in December 1967, which was a bold and experimental departure from their earlier work, embracing psychedelic influences. The concert encapsulated a pivotal era for the Stones, as they were transitioning into more complex musical territories. Shortly after this performance, tensions within the band grew, leading to the departure of Jones in June 1969. This period was characterized by both artistic evolution and personal challenges, ultimately shaping the future direction of the band and solidifying their legendary status in rock history.
