The Rolling Stones

In 1971, The Rolling Stones were in a transitional phase in their career, following the release of their acclaimed album "Sticky Fingers" in April of that year. The live performance captured in the video at the Marquee Club on March 1, 1971, is notable for its intimacy, showcasing the band during a time when they were gaining immense popularity and honing their craft in a smaller setting. This period was marked by the departure of Brian Jones, whose influence had waned, and the solidification of Mick Taylor’s role as a guitarist. The performance demonstrates the band's raw energy and evolving sound, as they blended rock with blues influences. The recording is part of the "From The Vault" series, which highlights the band's historic live performances. This particular show is significant for its rarity and has been cherished by fans, illustrating the ongoing legacy and impact of The Rolling Stones on rock music.
