The Rolling Stones

In November 1973, The Rolling Stones were riding a significant wave in their career, marked by the release of their acclaimed album "Goats Head Soup" just a couple of months prior, in August of the same year. This period was notable as it showcased the band's transition into a more polished sound, diverging slightly from the rawness of their earlier work. The live performance captured in the Brussels recording features "Happy," a track penned by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, emphasizing Richards' contributions as a lead vocalist on the song. Additionally, this era coincided with the band's infamous "Stones touring machine," which brought them to new heights in live performances, solidifying their reputation as one of the greatest live acts of all time. The Brussels show was part of the European tour that further elevated their status, despite some noted challenges in the band's dynamics during this period.
