Live Performance of 'Happy' by the Rolling Stones at Randwick Racecourse

Venue: Royal Randwick Racecourse Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Date: February 26, 1973

On February 26, 1973, The Rolling Stones performed at Randwick Racecourse in Australia, during a period marking a significant phase in their career. Leading up to this live recording, they had just released their album "Goats Head Soup" in August 1973, which included hits like "Angie" and "Dancing with Mr. D." This marked a time of experimentation for the band, reflecting their evolution both musically and stylistically. The live performance of "Happy," sung by Mick Jagger, showcases their ability to engage with audiences, and this era was characterized by an increased reliance on live performances as they sought to solidify their legacy in rock. Notably, the band's 1972-1973 tour was their first in Australia, illustrating their growing international acclaim as they transitioned into the later stages of their illustrious career.
