The Rolling Stones

In January 1973, during the time of the "Brussels Affair" live recording, The Rolling Stones were experiencing a significant period in their career. The band had released their album "Goats Head Soup" later that year, which would include hit tracks like "Angie." Prior to the live recording, they had also put out "Exile on Main St." in 1972, cementing their reputation as rock icons. The Brussels concert took place during their "European Tour 1973," and notable performances from these shows showcased their evolving sound, which incorporated elements of funk and soul, reflecting their musical maturity. Additionally, this tour marked a resurgence for the band after a brief hiatus, as they were redefining their stage presence and delivering electrifying performances that captured their legendary status. The "Brussels Affair" also highlights the Stones' ability to connect with their audience, setting the stage for future tours and recordings.
