The Rolling Stones

In December 1981, The Rolling Stones were in the midst of the American Tour 1981, showcasing their continued prominence in rock music. The live performance of "Let's Spend The Night Together" at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona, was part of a tour that followed the release of their album "Tattoo You," which came out in August 1981. This album featured hit singles such as "Start Me Up" and marked a return to form for the band, drawing from a blend of new material and previously unreleased tracks. The live recording captures the band's energy and stage presence during this period, reflecting their successful resurgence in the early '80s. Interestingly, the tour was notable for its large-scale stadium shows and extensive media coverage, contributing to the band's legendary status as one of rock's most enduring acts. The subsequent concert film, "Let's Spend the Night Together," directed by Hal Ashby, further solidified their cultural impact at this moment in their career.
