The Rolling Stones

In February 1995, The Rolling Stones performed at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, a significant venue for the band, marking a high point in their long career. By this time, the group had just released their live album, "Stripped," in 1995, which included recordings from their earlier, more intimate performances in Europe. This concert came during the "Voodoo Lounge Tour," in support of their studio album "Voodoo Lounge," released in 1994. The band was in a phase of rediscovery, blending classic hits with newer material, and they were also capitalizing on their enduring popularity by performing in front of massive crowds in South America. Notably, this era saw The Rolling Stones maintaining their status as rock icons, adapting their sound for new audiences while staying true to their roots in rock and roll. The performance of "Angie" at this concert exemplifies their ability to connect emotionally with fans, both old and new, even years after its original release in 1973.
