Why ‘The Stones’ Have Spanned Decades

The Rolling Stones are a perfect specimen of performance changes. The group has been around for long enough to weather technology, and the have adapted by using technology the same way younger groups use it.

Very little music now goes unproduced. An a cappello voice is rarely heard on a hit single — let alone a hit single. In fact, the truth is that music is extremely produced these days with layered tracks, special effects and everything but the sole voice.

The Rolling Stones has taken this fact and used it to their advantage turning their shows into spectacles to keep up with the trend in music and it’s engineering. Their success is due in large part to their accommodating sophisticated engineering that allows for spectacles on stage.
