The Rolling Stones

In the live recording titled "When The Whip Comes Down" from Roundhay Park in Leeds, which was performed in 1982, the Rolling Stones were amidst their vibrant and transformative era. At that time, they had recently released the album "Some Girls" in 1978, which was a significant commercial success and marked a departure in sound, incorporating new influences such as punk and disco. Around this period, the band was actively engaging with various social and political themes in their music, which resonated with the evolving cultural landscape of the late '70s and early '80s. This concert was part of the "Tattoo You" tour, a response to their resurgence in the MTV era, showcasing their adaptability and enduring appeal. Notably, the performance features tracks that highlight their electrifying stage presence, a hallmark of their reputation. The band's ability to reinvent themselves while maintaining their rock foundational elements has solidified their legacy in music history.
