Today in Rolling Stones history: June 9

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

June 9 has a weird habit of following The Rolling Stones around like it has unfinished business, popping up across decades of tours, lineup drama, and loud stadium nights. From early London club gigs to massive shows in places like Atlanta and Montreal, the date feels less like a calendar entry and more like a recurring punchline in rock history. Somewhere in the mix songs like Miss You and Sympathy for the Devil keep echoing through setlists as if nothing ever really changes, even when everything clearly does. Call it coincidence, or rock and roll refusing to behave itself again.

June 9, 1963, 2 shows: Ken Colyer Jazz Club, Studio 51, London and Crawdaddy Club, Station Hotel, Richmond, England

June 9, 1969: Just days after his departure from the Stones was announced, Brian Jones offers his own explanation: “I no longer see eye-to-eye with the others over the discs we are cutting…I want to play my kind of music, which is no longer the Stones music. The music Mick and Keith have been writing has progressed at a tangent, as far as my own taste is concerned.”

SIDE B: 1. Far Away Eyes/ 2. Respectable/ 3. Before They Make Me Run/ 4. Beast Of Burden/ 5. Shattered

By the late ’70s the Stones were still massive but changing trends like punk and disco pushed them out of the spotlight. They responded with Some Girls, a sharp energetic record driven by the disco blues groove of Miss You packed with hooks and tougher rockers. Not to mention standout tracks like Beast of Burden, Shattered and Far Away Eyes mixing grit humor and swagger. Here’s where the band experiments with disco touches while sharpening their rock edge producing some of their most focused work since Exile on Main St. Though not their absolute peak it redefined them for a new era and proved their ability to adapt and survive shifting musical landscapes while still keeping their signature attitude intact making it a landmark late seventies statement and reminding everyone why they remained one of rock’s most enduring and unpredictable bands.
