The Rolling Stones

In July 1975, during the Rolling Stones' "Tour of the Americas," they performed at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Prior to this concert, the band had released the studio album "It's Only Rock 'n Roll" in late 1974, which showcased their continued evolution in sound and solidified their place as rock icons. This era also marked a pivotal moment for the band, as they were transitioning into a more polished yet still energetic performance style. The concert at the Cotton Bowl was notable not only for its high temperatures, which prompted Mick Jagger to spray the audience with a fire hose, but also for the impressive array of opening acts, including The Eagles and Montrose. This live performance encapsulated the Stones' formidable stage presence at a time when they were solidifying their legacy in rock music history.
