Today in Rolling Stones history: July 29

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

July 29 proves that The Rolling Stones rarely had an ordinary day. One date somehow connects Ronnie Wood helping redefine blues-rock on Truth with Jeff Beck, unforgettable European stadium shows, and another milestone from Bill Wyman after his Stones years. Coincidence? Maybe. Boring? Not even close. While history books often spotlight the biggest headlines, the real fun is discovering how seemingly unrelated moments fit into the band’s sprawling story. From future band members making waves elsewhere to concerts fans still talk about decades later, July 29 offers another reminder that the Stones’ timeline is packed with surprises around every corner.

July 29, 1968: Release of the Jeff Beck Group’s LP Truth, with Ronnie Wood as band member
Ronnie was a key member of the Jeff Beck Group from 1967 to 1969, playing bass guitar rather than his usual role as guitarist. Alongside Beck and vocalist Rod Stewart he helped shape the band’s blues-rock sound, which influenced the emerging hard rock scene. Both the group’s albums Truth (1968) and Beck-Ola (1969) showcased his versatility and laid the groundwork for his future success with The Faces and the Stones.
