The Rolling Stones Live Performance of 'Midnight Rambler' at Esprit Arena Düsseldorf
On September 10, 2017, The Rolling Stones performed "Midnight Rambler" live at the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany, during their "No Filter" tour. Prior to this concert, the band released "Blue & Lonesome," their first studio album in over a decade, in December 2016. This album marked a return to their blues roots, featuring covers of classic Chicago blues tracks. The "No Filter" tour was significant as it showcased the band’s ability to still captivate audiences with their legendary performances, even nearly five decades into their career. Interestingly, this live recording highlights not only their enduring stage presence but also the nostalgia and timeless appeal of their music, with "Midnight Rambler" being a staple in their setlists since its initial release in 1969. The essence of their performance in Düsseldorf reflects both a homage to their musical heritage and their continued evolution as artists.
