The Rolling Stones
Rolling Stones Performance of 'Neighbours' Live at Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe, AZ
The live recording of "Neighbours" from December 13, 1981, captures The Rolling Stones during their American Tour 1981, a significant period in their career. Prior to this concert, they released the album "Tattoo You" in August 1981, which was a commercial success and showcased their ability to adapt to contemporary music trends while maintaining their classic rock roots. "Tattoo You" features some of their well-known tracks such as "Start Me Up" and "Waiting on a Friend," helping to solidify their legacy in rock music. Notably, this tour was their first full-scale tour of the United States in nearly four years, following a period of experimentation with different music styles in the late '70s. The concert at Sun Devil Stadium highlighted their continued popularity and ability to draw massive crowds, and the film "Let's Spend the Night Together," which features this performance, further cemented their status as rock icons during the early '80s.
