The Rolling Stones

On July 11, 1972, The Rolling Stones performed live at the Rubber Bowl in Akron, Ohio, during a significant period in their career. This concert took place shortly after the release of their acclaimed double album "Exile on Main St.," which came out in May 1972. Renowned for its raw sound and eclectic mix of musical styles, this album is often regarded as one of the band’s greatest achievements. The Akron show was part of the accompanying tour that promoted the album, showcasing tracks like "Tumbling Dice" and "Happy." Interestingly, the "Exile on Main St." tour was known for its revelry and excess, often marked by the band's legendary rock and roll lifestyle. The live recording captures the energy and spontaneity of this era, reflecting the band at the height of their creative powers, as they delivered a setlist filled with hits and a palpable connection to their audience.
