The Rolling Stones

In July 1975, when The Rolling Stones performed at the LA Forum, they were in the midst of their "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" era, having released the album of the same name in 1974. This album marked a significant point in their career, showcasing the band's signature rock sound infused with elements of funk and soul. The live performance captured during this period highlights the band's electrifying stage presence, which was key to their identity as live performers. Notably, this era followed a tumultuous period for the band, including the departure of guitarist Mick Taylor and the emergence of Ron Wood as a full-time member. The concert at the LA Forum was part of a larger tour that helped solidify the Stones' reputation as one of the most dynamic live acts of the time, further enhancing their legacy in rock history. The "From The Vault" series serves as a testament to their enduring appeal, reviving performances that resonate with both long-time fans and new audiences alike.
