The Rolling Stones

In April 1998, when The Rolling Stones performed "Gimme Shelter" live at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, they were in the midst of their "Bridges to Babylon" tour, which had kicked off the previous year. The album "Bridges to Babylon," released in September 1997, had received a mixed critical response but featured some popular tracks that helped to revitalize the band's presence in the late 1990s. Interestingly, this era marked a period of significant evolution for the band, as they seamlessly blended new musical styles with their classic rock roots. During the 1998 tour, the Stones showcased their adaptability, delivering high-energy performances that included hits from both their early catalog and more recent work, emphasizing their enduring appeal and ability to attract diverse audiences worldwide. The Buenos Aires concert famously drew huge crowds, reflecting the band's lasting impact and popularity in Latin America.
