The Rolling Stones

In January 1975, The Rolling Stones were in a dynamic phase of their career, having recently released the album "It's Only Rock 'n Roll" in 1974. This album marked a significant shift as it was the last studio album featuring Mick Taylor before he departed from the band, bringing a distinct sound to their music that combined rock with elements of country and blues. The live recording of "Gimme Shelter" from their concert at the LA Forum showcases the band's ability to deliver powerful, energetic performances during this era. Notably, "Gimme Shelter" is one of their signature songs, reflecting the tumultuous cultural landscape of the time and the band's commentary on social issues. This period also saw them solidifying their status as rock legends, with memorable live performances that captivated audiences worldwide.
