The Rolling Stones

During the time of the live recording at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on October 19, 1989, The Rolling Stones were in the midst of their "Steel Wheels Tour." This tour was significant as it marked the band's return to the stage after a seven-year hiatus from large-scale tours. Prior to this live performance, the band had released the studio album "Steel Wheels" in August 1989, which was met with commercial success and revitalized their career. Notably, "Steel Wheels" included hits like "Mixed Emotions" and "Rock and a Hard Place." The tour itself was notable for its extensive marketing and production value, featuring elaborate stage designs and large-scale multimedia elements. The Los Angeles shows were particularly remarkable as they represented a high point in their live performance history, showcasing the band's enduring appeal and energy, even in a decade that saw the rise of a new generation of rock artists.
