The Rolling Stones

In January 1975, The Rolling Stones performed live at the LA Forum, showcasing their robust presence in the rock scene during this period. Prior to this recording, they released the album "It's Only Rock 'n Roll" in 1974, which marked a significant transition as they began to experiment more with their sound, incorporating elements of glam rock and funk. The song "Happy," performed in this live concert, is notable as it features Keith Richards on lead vocals, highlighting his growing prominence within the band. This era was also marked by the Stones’ increasing international fame, as they were transitioning from being a leading rock band to rock legends, implementing elaborate stage productions during their tours which became a hallmark of their live performances. The energy and charisma of their live shows, captured in recordings like this, played a crucial role in solidifying their status in music history.
