Rolling Stones Photos & Stories From Philadelphia: The City of Brotherly Love

The Rolling Stones’ lotus leaf stage provided great views for everyone. The Stones accessed the stage via a ground-level elevator built into the center of the stage. In New York and Los Angelas, the flower petals remained upright and slowly opened as Aaron Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man” was played. © ROGER BARONE 1975

THE ROLLING STONES: THE SPECTRUM (June 30, 1975)

In a recent visit to the Free Library of Philadelphia, Logan Square Branch, Annie Liebovitz, the Stones official photographer for their ’75 Tour of the Americas, said that the two shows at The Spectrum were the best she’s ever seen the Stones play.
