The Rolling Stones

In March 1971, when The Rolling Stones performed at the Marquee Club in London, they were in a transitional phase of their career. They had recently released the critically acclaimed album "Sticky Fingers" in April 1971, which featured classic tracks like "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses." The Marquee Club show was notable for its intimacy, standing in stark contrast to their larger arena performances, and showcased the band's raw energy and musical versatility during a period of significant evolution. This performance is part of the band's "From The Vault" series, which highlights rare live recordings that capture the essence of their live shows. The fact that this performance was relatively underground shows how the band was still balancing their rising fame with a desire for artistic authenticity. The inclusion of "Bitch" in this recording reflects the band's exploration of themes that would become central to their work in the early 1970s.
