Rolling Stones - 1978-06-14 - Capitol Theatre, NJ (SBD)

1970s - #1: The mid 1970s were not the best of years for "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band In The World". The Stones' albums during that period had not lived up to the standard set by 1972's Exile on Main Street. Drug problems plagued Keith. Mick seemed more interested in the party life (he was a regular at Studio 54) than rock and roll. Mick Taylor quit the band. As the punk scene took a leading role on rock's stage, many depicted The Rolling Stones as decadent, aging millionaires and criticized their music as stagnant and/or irrelevant. All that changed in 1978. The Stones stuck back at their critics with a vengeance, releasing Some Girls in June of that year. Some Girls, with songs such as Miss You, Beast of Burden, When The Whip Comes Down and Shattered, was easily the best Stones album since Exile, and ranks as one of the finest of their career. Concurrent with the album's release, the Stones launched a US tour, starting with dates at some small clubs, before launching into high gear in stadiums across the country. Night 3 of the tour, June 14, 1978, 34 years ago today, found the Stones at the legendary Capitol Theatre in Passaic NJ. Here's a soundboard recording from that historic show. Download it and relive the return of the Rolling Stones to the top of the rock world.
