The Rolling Stones (1975–1979): Arena Power, No Letup

The late 1970s found The Rolling Stones working at immense scale—moving between arenas, stadiums, and major events with a production machine that had to keep moving night after night. These years capture the relentless pace of touring and the crew work required to support one of rock’s most demanding live shows.

This section of the archive collects Showco-related materials connected to The Rolling Stones during the late ’70s—tour ephemera, documents, photos, and other surviving pieces as they’re located and digitized.

I’m building this archive by hand and will keep adding items as more materials are identified and preserved.
