Today in Rolling Stones history: June 25

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

If you think your calendar is packed, take a look at the life of The Rolling Stones on June 25th, a date that seems to trigger a chronic inability to stay in one place. From conquering Finnish beaches to gate-crashing Beatles sessions for All You Need Is Love, the band has spent decades turning this specific summer day into a global roaming circus. Whether it’s Bill Wyman flirting with new-wave synthesizers on Visions or Mick Taylor teaching progressive rock fans a lesson, the Stones have effectively monopolized the date—and frankly, the rest of the rock calendar probably prefers it that way.

June 25, 1965: Yyteri Beach, Pori, Finland (2nd Scandinavian Tour)

June 25, 1967: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards join the chorus providing backup vocals for the Beatles’ historic performance of All You Need Is Love. Broadcast live to millions via the Our World satellite event from London’s EMI Studios, the iconic moment perfectly captured the era’s collaborative spirit.

June 25, 1973: Mick Taylor joins Mike Oldfield at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall to perform the progressive-rock masterpiece Tubular Bells. Orchestrated by Virgin Records founder Richard Branson to promote his new label, the historic live event showcased Oldfield’s sweeping musical vision, elevated by Taylor’s legendary guitar contributions and stage presence.

During the early ’80s Bill Wyman ventured into a distinct, new-wave-infused solo sound, best exemplified by the standout track Visions. Featured on his 1982 self-titled record, the song is highly regarded for its eccentric wit, sleek production, and the clever blending of electronic textures with rock foundations.

Released posthumously in 1971 as the debut for Rolling Stones Records, as Brian Jones Presents The Pipes Of Pan At Jajouka, this remains a landmark field recording. Captured by the Stones’ founder in Morocco’s Rif Mountains during the 1968 Rites of Pan festival, the album documents the hypnotic, trance-like sounds of the Master Musicians of Jajouka. By bridging ancient Sufi traditions with Western audiences, Jones’s work served as a vital cultural bridge, forever changing how the world perceives Moroccan folk music.
