The Rolling Stones Take Over Brussels
On May 6, 1976, The Rolling Stones hit the stage at Forest National in Brussels, Belgium, as part of their Tour of Europe ’76. It was a high-energy performance in front of an ecstatic crowd, showing the band in full swing during their mid-’70s glam-rock phase. Mick Jagger, wearing flashy outfits, commanded the stage with his usual swagger, while Keith Richards delivered raw guitar riffs with his trademark cool. The setlist included pretty much all the fan favorites alongside newer songs from the Black and Blue album, which had just been released a month earlier.
A Glimpse Into the ’76 Tour Energy
This Brussels show captured the Stones blending their bluesy roots with funkier grooves. Ronnie Wood, still relatively new to the lineup, brought fresh energy, locking in well with Keith. Billy Preston added flair on keys, especially on tracks like You Gotta Moveand Outa Space, where he even took the spotlight. The crowd at Forest National was wild, feeding off the band’s energy from start to finish. While not officially recorded or released, bootlegs of the show circulate among collectors, offering a glimpse into a lesser-documented yet powerful phase of the Stones’ live career. The May 6, 1976 performance remains a shining example of the Stones’ staying power and ability to light up stages across Europe, no matter the decade.
