The Rolling Stones

In January 1971, The Rolling Stones were at a pivotal moment in their career. They had recently released the album "Let It Bleed" in 1969 and were gearing up for the release of "Sticky Fingers," which would come out later in April 1971. The performance at The Marquee Club captured a raw and energetic moment from a band transitioning into a new phase following the departure of founding member Brian Jones and the entrance of Mick Taylor. This live recording features the song "Jumpin' Jack Flash," showcasing their ability to blend rock with blues influences. Notably, the set at The Marquee exemplified the band's commitment to live performance as a core aspect of their identity, setting the stage for the legendary concerts that would follow in the years to come, including their extensive tours throughout the 1970s.
