Today in Rolling Stones history: June 30

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

So, it’s 1967 and the British establishment decides locking up Mick Jagger and Keith Richards is a brilliant idea. Spoiler: it didn’t exactly dampen the rock ‘n’ roll spirit. In a weird twist of fate, The Who swooped in to drop The Last Time and Under My Thumb as a single, essentially proving that the music industry, for once, had a heartbeat. It’s a wild reminder that when the law came knocking, The Rolling Stones didn’t just survive the fallout—they turned a prison sentence into the ultimate badge of honor while everyone else scrambled to take sides.

June 30, 1967: Mick Jagger and Keith Richard (s) are finally granted bail and released from jail pending their appeals, providing a massive sigh of relief that rippled through the entire rock community. Amidst the tension of those days, solidarity arrived in an iconic way: The Who steps up and announce they are releasing a new single featuring covers of the Stones’ The Last Time and Under My Thumb as a gesture of moral support. It was a powerful, public display of unity, proving that when things got real, the legends stood by each other.

Mick about getting out of jail (2017): “The Times was thrown through the slot in my cell door, and thudded and hit the concrete floor of my cell and I thought, What the fuck is that? I thought, Well, that’s nice, they’re delivering me The Times. I hadn’t had a lot of experience of being in jail. When I read it I realised why they had in fact delivered it to me. The same day I was out.”

June 30, 1969: Release of The Jeff Beck Group’s LP Beck-Ola, with Ronnie in the band
This landmark record defined heavy blues-rock, masterfully blending high-octane hard rock with distinct rockabilly and jazz-fusion influences to create a truly pioneering and influential sound.

June 30, 1981: The Rolling Stones are in New York City to film promo videos for Start Me Up, Hang Fire and Worried About You, capturing the band at the peak of their early ’80s swagger. These shoots weren’t just standard clips; they helped define the visual language of the Tattoo You era. From the grit of the city backdrop to the band’s iconic energy, these performances remain quintessential snapshots of the Stones doing what they do best.

June 30, 2014: It’s a bizarre and brilliant collision of worlds: British comedy legends Monty Python actually posted a vintage video featuring Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts. In the clip, the two Stones are seen awkwardly but charismatically introducing their press conference, bringing that classic, deadpan British humor to the forefront.
