March 2 reads like a time-lapse of rock history. In 1963, The Rolling Stones were grinding it out at London’s Ealing Jazz Club; a year later, they were commanding two shows at Nottingham’s Albert Hall. Fast-forward to 2012 and the band celebrated five decades with The Rolling Stones 50, a landmark anniversary book tracing their rise from club stages to global dominance. Add Ronnie Wood’s 2009 collaboration with Starsailor and a thunderous 2016 set in Porto Alegre, and March 2 becomes more than a date—it’s a snapshot of the Stones’ evolving, unstoppable legacy.
