The Rolling Stones made their live debut in London on July 12, 1962
45 years ago today the Rolling Stones played their first live gig. It was at the Marquee Club in London on July 12th of 1962.
They had a 6 man lineup at the time of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, Dick Taylor, and Tony Chapman. Soon after Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts joined the band replacing Taylor and Chapman. Stewart officially left the group for publicity reasons (the manager Andrew Loog Oldham didn't think he had the right looks) but he stayed on with the band playing piano until his death in 1985.
The Rolling Stones have sold over 200 million albums worldwide and are still playing live today.
