The Rolling Stones: Down The Road Apiece Live Performance at JFK Stadium
On September 26, 1981, The Rolling Stones performed live at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia as part of their US Tour, promoting their album "Tattoo You," which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a significant moment in the band's career, showcasing a return to form after a series of less impactful releases in the late 1970s. "Tattoo You" featured some of their strongest songs, including "Start Me Up," which became one of their signature tracks. Notably, the performance of "Down the Road Apiece" during this concert serves as a nod to their roots, as it was originally included in their earlier works, bridging their classic rock legacy with their contemporary sound at that time. The Philadelphia concert also epitomized the band's enduring appeal and ability to captivate large audiences, a hallmark of their long and illustrious career.
