Today in Rolling Stones history: January 10

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

January 10 is one of those dates that quietly stalks Rolling Stones history, popping up again and again like a familiar riff you didn’t notice at first. From early, scrappy club gigs in smoky London basements to studio sessions that helped crack America, from courtroom drama to global tours, film premieres, awards, and side projects, this single day keeps catching the band mid-motion. It’s a timeline stitched with ambition, chaos, experimentation, and survival—sometimes all at once. Not a grand anniversary, not a headline-grabber, just another reminder that the Stones’ story isn’t built on one moment, but on thousands of restless, rolling ones.
