The Rolling Stones

In December 1969, The Rolling Stones performed live at the Saville Theatre in London, shortly after the infamous Altamont Free Concert. This notable period in their career followed the release of their self-titled album "The Rolling Stones" in 1964 and saw them grappling with the aftermath of the chaos at Altamont, which led to questions about their image and credibility. By this time, they had recently released the classic "Let It Bleed" in late 1969, which included hits like "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want." The performances at the Saville Theatre were significant, as Mick Jagger reflected on the mixed audience reactions, with the first show being overshadowed by an influx of journalists while the second show garnered a more engaged crowd. This contrast highlighted the band's evolving dynamic with their audience and marked a pivotal moment in their transformation during the late 1960s.
