The Rolling Stones

In 1990, during the live recording of "Mixed Emotions" at the Tokyo Dome, The Rolling Stones were in the midst of a significant phase in their career, having recently released their album "Steel Wheels" in 1989. This album marked a rejuvenation for the band, as it was their first studio album in nearly a decade and featured a more polished sound, incorporating elements from contemporary pop and rock. "Steel Wheels" also had notable commercial success, producing hits such as "Rock and a Hard Place" and "Mixed Emotions," the latter of which was performed during the Tokyo concert. This live performance was part of the band's "Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour," which aimed to celebrate their return to the spotlight and solidify their status as rock icons. The tour itself was marked by high energy and lavish production, highlighting the band’s enduring appeal. Additionally, the band collaborated closely with producer Don Was, further modernizing their sound during this era.
