Today in Rolling Stones history: March 28

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

March 28 offers a snapshot of The Rolling Stones in motion—shifting from scrappy UK stages in Bletchley (1964) to European momentum in Copenhagen (1965), before intersecting with American blues roots in 1969 through Champion Jack Dupree, joined by Mick Taylor. By 1980, the band had fully embraced visual experimentation in New York, crafting thermographic videos for Emotional Rescue. This single date reveals a band constantly evolving—touring, collaborating, and redefining their image—capturing how the Stones bridged raw rhythm and blues origins with forward-thinking multimedia innovation.

March 28, 1964: Wilton Hall Tottenham, Bletchley, England

March 28, 1965: Tivoli Konsertsal, Copenhagen, Denmark (2 shows)

March 28, 1969: Release of Champion Jack Dupree‘s 7″ single Ba’la Fouche / Kansas City, with Mick Taylor as guest.
William Thomas ‘Champion Jack’ Dupree (July 23, 1909 or July 4, 1910 – January 21, 1992) was an American blues and boogie-woogie pianist and vocalist. He earned his nickname during his early years as a professional boxer.

March 28, 1980: The Stones film thermographic video clips for the songs Emotional Rescue and Where the Boys Go in New York City.
The band took to Manhattan to film thermographic video clips for both songs. The videos were directed by filmmaker Adam Friedman, who collaborated with the band to bring a unique, futuristic visual style to the project. The use of thermographic imagery—showing the heat signatures of the band members—gave the Emotional Rescue video a distinctive, almost surreal aesthetic, perfectly matching the experimental, disco-infused vibe of the song.

The session marked one of the Stones’ early ventures into visually creative promotional videos, coming at a time when music videos were just starting to become an essential part of an artist’s promotional strategy. The clip for Where the Boys Go, while less iconic and lesser known, also showcased the band’s willingness to experiment visually (and featuring a longer guitar solo by Keith Richards) These videos would later accompany the release of the Emotional Rescue album in June 1980, as well as the She’s So Cold one.
