The Rolling Stones

On May 1, 1975, the Rolling Stones performed "Brown Sugar" in a unique setting: a flatbed truck on 5th Avenue in New York City. This performance coincided with the announcement of their upcoming tour, marking a significant moment in their career as it showcased their ability to engage with fans in an unconventional manner. Just before this event, the band had released their album "It's Only Rock 'n Roll" in late 1974, solidifying their transition into a more rock-oriented sound. This album was notable for its mix of rock and blues influences and included hits like "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." Following this live performance, the band would release "Metamorphosis," a compilation album of previously unreleased material, in 1975. This live recording captures the energy of the band during a vibrant period marked by both creativity and public engagement, reflecting their status as rock legends deep into their career.
