Today in Rolling Stones history: February 11

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

February 11 threads its way through Rolling Stones history like a perfectly cut groove. From two explosive shows at the Granada Theatre in Rugby in 1964 to another double bill in Adelaide a year later, the date captures the band in constant motion. In 1967, February 11 marked the U.S. release of Between the Buttons, a pivotal album where pop, rock, and psychedelia collided, revealing new colors in the Stones’ sound. By 1973, the date roared again at Western Springs Stadium in Auckland, with a ferocious setlist packed with era-defining classics. Decades later, the Stones were still rolling, taking the stage in San Juan, Puerto Rico, proving that this date has long echoed with their restless, unstoppable energy.

Between the Buttons (1967) is one of The Rolling Stones’ most unique albums, blending rock, pop, and psychedelia. It marks a transition from their bluesy roots to more experimental sounds. With tracks like Ruby Tuesday and Let’s Spend the Night Together, the album showcases their evolving songwriting and Brian Jones’ multi-instrumental genius.

While the UK and US versions differ in tracklisting, both capture the band’s creative energy before diving into full-blown psychedelia with Their Satanic Majesties Request. Mick Jagger later dismissed the album, but fans appreciate its quirky charm and layered production.

This underrated album connects The Rolling Stones’ early R&B roots with the refined, edgy sound they would perfect later in the ’60s. It’s a transitional piece that deserves more recognition. If it’s been a while since you last listened, now’s the perfect moment to revisit it—Between the Buttons has hidden depths and songs still waiting to be rediscovered.
