Rolling Stones on video: L’Olympia, Paris, France, April 11 1967 (rare footage)
In 1967 the Rolling Stones were at the peak of their success, with hits like Paint It, Black, Ruby Tuesday, and the Between the Buttons album under their belt. Their sound was beginning to evolve, incorporating more experimental and psychedelic elements. The atmosphere at L’Olympia in Paris was electric as Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and the rest of the band played with an intensity and energy that kept the audience hooked. This performance gave fans a glimpse into the future of the Stones’ live shows, foreshadowing the magnetic energy that would define their concerts for decades.
The rare footage from that performance offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the band during their prime. It doesn’t just capture their commanding stage presence but also encapsulates the cultural vibe of the 1960s. Mick’s electrifying stage moves and Keith’s iconic guitar riffs still have the same powerful impact today as they did back then. L’Olympia was the perfect venue for this unforgettable night, and for those lucky enough to be there (It was also their last tour ever with Brian Jones) it became a cherished memory of the Stones before they became the global legends we know today.
This footage is a must-see for Rolling Stones enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates the raw intensity of live shows at the time. It offers a rare glimpse into a crucial moment in rock history, providing a unique opportunity to witness the band during a time when they were reshaping the genre and solidifying their legacy in the world of music. It’s a powerful reminder of the Stones’ influence and the electrifying energy that defined their live performances through the years, and, needless to say, forever in rock history.
