By the early '70s, the Stones took over as the premier British rock 'n' roll band, and continued their streak of hits with songs like "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Brown Sugar," and "Start Me Up." Originally formed with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, and Brian Jones as a blues pub band (with the blessing and guidance of UK blues legend, Alexis Korner), The Rolling Stones quickly moved into the spot of being the "street-wise and gritty" alternative to the four-headed pop music monster The Beatles had become.
The groundbreaking rock band from London had been together since 1962, and as with their other shows, the Stones play this concert with fire, passion, and the bravado of a talk-of-the-town arrogant, young band that knows they are simply the best there is. "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Time Is on My Side," "Miss You," "Honky Tonk Women" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," which closes out the set, are the best songs and remind us why the Stones are the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world, still crankin' it out after four decades on the scene. The band is in fine form, and Jagger leads a rousing sing-along during "You Can't Always Get What You Want," and injects humor when he informs the audience that saxophonist Ernie Watts is no relation to Stones drummer, Charlie Watts. Opening with their classic 1966 single, "Under My Thumb" then blasting into "When the Whip Comes Down," followed by the always controversial "Let's Spend the Night Together," the group delivers a riveting 22-song set. After a warm introduction, The Rolling Stones take the stage for what was to be one of the final shows on the band's 1981 Tattoo You tour, and one of six of those tour dates taped for the King Biscuit Flower Hour. While, two days before the huge event they insisted on a Japanese water garden, complete with coy carp, being created backstage.There is no denying the impact of a great Stones show, as demonstrated by this two-hour concert at Hampton Coliseum. Firstly, they wanted the concert’s perimeter fence repainting because they weren’t happy with the shade. The Stones played on a stage the size of an aircraft carrier and the rock legends arrived in Leeds with a few demands. It then started a period where the Leeds park would welcome megastars such as Michael Jackson and Madonna - who both performed there later in the 1980s. The July 25 show changed the way massive music gigs were staged in the UK and across the world because of its sheer scale. A massive crowd of 120,000 Stones fans packed into the bowl at Roundhay Park. We are taking a look back at how The Rolling Stones’ Leeds Roundhay Park gig set a new precedent for outdoor concerts.īack in 1982, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and co brought the curtain down on a non-stop two-year world tour with their performance in Leeds.
