The Rolling Stones Live Performance of 'Street Fighting Man' and 'Gimme Shelter' at Twickenham Rugby Ground, London

Venue: Twickenham Stadium Location: Twickenham, England, United Kingdom Date: August 24, 2003

In the summer of 2003, The Rolling Stones were in the midst of their "Licks Tour," which celebrated their 40th anniversary as a band. This particular live recording from August 24, 2003, at Twickenham Rugby Ground in London, showcases the band's enduring ability to captivate audiences with their classic hits such as "Street Fighting Man" and "Gimme Shelter." Leading up to this performance, the band had released their album "Forty Licks" in November 2002, which included a mix of new material and re-recordings of their classic songs, serving as a comprehensive anthology of their career. This live show not only reflects their legacy but also highlights their continuous relevance in rock music during the early 2000s, reaffirming their status as icons in the music industry. The performance at Twickenham was part of a series of sold-out shows, illustrating the band's significant draw even decades after their debut.
