The Rolling Stones

In July 2015, The Rolling Stones were in the midst of their "Zip Code Tour," promoting their extensive catalog while celebrating over five decades of iconic rock music. Prior to this live recording of "Start Me Up," which was part of their ongoing commitment to deliver electrifying performances, the band had released their recent studio album "Blue & Lonesome" in December 2016, marking a return to their blues roots. However, during the time of the Raleigh concert, they were focused on live shows rather than new studio recordings. This live version of "Start Me Up," a staple in their performances since its original release in 1981, showcases the band's ability to connect with their audience and their resilience as performers, as they continue to thrill crowds worldwide, even into their sixth decade of touring. The 2015 concert featured a mix of classic hits and fan favorites, reflecting their enduring popularity and influence in rock music.
