In November 1973, during the Brussels Affair tour, The Rolling Stones were in the midst of promoting their critically acclaimed album "Goats Head Soup," which had been released just a couple of months earlier, in August of that year. This period marked a pivotal point in their career, as they were transitioning into more experimental sounds, incorporating elements of funk and reggae into their rock foundation. Notably, "Midnight Rambler," featured in the live recording from Brussels, showcases their evolving musical style and ability to engage audiences with extended improvisational performances. The Brussels show is highlighted by its raw energy and the band's chemistry, symbolizing their status as one of the world's premier live acts at the time. The November 1 concert, part of a European tour, demonstrated their resilience and charisma, particularly following the tumultuous years of the early 1970s, and it solidified their connection with fans worldwide.
