The Rolling Stones

In June 1976, when The Rolling Stones performed at the Pavillon de Paris, they were in the midst of their "Black and Blue" tour, supporting the album of the same name, released in April 1976. This was a significant period for the band as they were transitioning through various styles, highlighted by the inclusion of new guitarist Ronnie Wood, who had officially joined the lineup after Mick Taylor's departure. The tour marked the Stones' return to the concert stage after a brief hiatus following the tumultuous events surrounding the Altamont Free Concert in 1969. This particular performance in Paris showcased their adaptability and enduring popularity, featuring a blend of blues, rock, and a taste of the emerging disco influences that would characterize their future work. The recording serves as a testament to their resilience and ability to captivate audiences, solidifying their reputation as one of the foremost live acts in rock history.
