The Rolling Stones

In the live recording of "Street Fighting Man" from September 30, 1973, at the Festhalle in Frankfurt, The Rolling Stones were at a critical juncture in their career. The concert took place shortly after the release of their acclaimed album "Goats Head Soup," which debuted in August 1973. This album included hit singles like "Angie" and showcased the band's evolving sound, incorporating more diverse influences including reggae and jazz. During this period, the Stones were solidifying their status as rock icons, having successfully navigated the turbulence of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Notably, the 1973 tour was marked by high energy and a commitment to live performance that would characterize their legacy, blending theatricality with raw musical talent. The Frankfurt show is a representation of their dynamic stage presence, illustrating why they are often regarded as one of the greatest live acts in music history.
