The Rolling Stones Live at Wembley Stadium Performing 'Brown Sugar'
On August 25, 1990, The Rolling Stones performed at Wembley Stadium in London as part of their Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tour, which marked a significant moment in their career. This performance came after the band released the album "Steel Wheels" in 1989, a project that revived their commercial success and marked their first studio album in nearly seven years. "Steel Wheels" featured hits such as "Mixed Emotions" and "Rock and a Hard Place," showcasing a blend of classic Stones rock with modern sensibilities. The live recording of "Brown Sugar" at Wembley captures the energy of the band during a time of resurgence, as they embraced new musical directions while remaining true to their roots. Additionally, the tour was notable for its elaborate stage design and for being the first time the band extensively utilized computer technology for both performances and marketing. The concert at Wembley, attended by thousands, reaffirmed The Rolling Stones' status as rock legends.
