The Rolling Stones Perform 'Sister Morphine' Live at Capitol Theatre, NY
In October 1997, The Rolling Stones were enjoying a resurgence in popularity and had recently released their album "Bridges to Babylon" in September of the same year. This live performance of "Sister Morphine" at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester is emblematic of the band's continued creative output and ability to connect with audiences. Notably, "Bridges to Babylon" showcased a blend of rock and contemporary influences, highlighted by their collaboration with modern producers like Don Was. During this period, the band was also engaged in extensive touring, which reinforced their status as one of rock's most enduring and iconic acts. The performance of "Sister Morphine"—a song originally written in the late 1960s—adds an interesting layer, illustrating how the band revisited and revitalized their classic repertoire alongside newer material, appealing to both long-time fans and newer generations.
