The Rolling Stones

On June 13, 1976, The Rolling Stones performed at the Stade de L'Ouest in Nice, France, during their "Black and Blue Tour." This tour followed the release of their album "Black and Blue," which debuted in April 1976. The album marked a transitional period for the band, showcasing a shift towards a more eclectic sound with greater emphasis on funk and reggae influences. The "Black and Blue Tour" was significant as it was the first tour featuring guitarist Ron Wood as an official member after his involvement in the earlier sessions of "It's Only Rock 'n Roll" and the album's subsequent promotional campaign. During the Nice concert, the band's dynamic performance highlighted their ability to maintain popularity and adapt their sound, as well as their enduring status as rock icons. This live recording captures the energy of a pivotal moment in their career, demonstrating the band's resilience and continual evolution in the face of changes within their lineup and musical style.
