“Suicide right on the stage…” (The Rolling Stones, 1975)

It would be foolish of me to play an April joke on you – so here’s a most excellent performance for your Monday. The Rolling Stones (along with Billy Preston) performing “It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll” at the L.A. Forum in 1975.

New Stone, Ronnie is fitting right in

“It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It)” appeared on the It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll L.P. of October, 1974. First released as a single in July ’74, the tune hit #16 on the Billboard “Hot 100” and #10 in the UK.
