SUMMARY:Stones in Exile: The Making and Tour of 'Exile on Main St.'
DESCRIPTION:Musichead Gallery proudly presents Stones in Exile: The Making and Tour of ‘Exile on Main St.’\, examining the creativity\, chaos\, and peak era of The Rolling Stones in 1971–1972. Highlighting the importance of Mick Taylor and the Exile mythology\, this photography exhibition will feature 20 photographs by 10 acclaimed photographers\, reminding us that great art often emerges from turbulence and that creative freedom is always worth fighting for. \nOn the run from British tax authorities\, the band took refuge in the French Riviera\, setting up a makeshift recording studio in the basement of Keith Richards’ rented villa\, Nellcôte. What followed was chaos: long nights\, loose schedules\, and a blur of collaborators. But from the disorder came brilliance. Exile on Main St.\, the raw\, sprawling double album\, is widely considered their masterpiece. \nFinishing touches came in Los Angeles\, where Mick Jagger refined vocals and arrangements while guitarist Mick Taylor\, at the height of his powers\, added the soulful leads that elevated the album’s sound. Then came the 1972 North American tour\, a whirlwind of swagger\, sweat\, and unrelenting energy. Captured by legendary photographers and journalists\, it remains one of the most iconic rock tours ever staged. \nOn display are photographs of the Rolling Stones at Villa Nellcôte in France\, where the recording of Exile on Main St. began in the summer of 1971. Visitors will also see images from Sunset Sound in Los Angeles\, where the band completed the album\, along with the original studio photographs featured in the album’s first pressing. The exhibition also showcases photographs from the band’s legendary 1972 North American tour\, a raucous and unapologetic stretch that captures the Stones at their most unfiltered\, untouchable\, and unforgettable.

SUMMARY:Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour
DESCRIPTION:…with Special Guests \nThe icon says goodbye over a pair of nights. \nIn 1983\, a relatively unknown singer named Cyndi Lauper put out her debut album\, entitled She’s So Unusual. Within two years\, she’d be a superstar\, tracks like “Time After Time” and “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” would cement themselves as among the greatest pop songs of the 20th century\, and she’d take home her first Grammy. \nIn the five decades since\, she hasn’t slowed down. Her song “True Colors” became an anthem for the LGBTQ community\, and “Time After Time” is a standard that’s been covered by the likes of P!nk\, Sam Smith\, and Miles Davis\, who performed it at his final concert\, which took place at the Hollywood Bowl. In the ’90s\, she picked up an Emmy for her guest spot on sitcom Mad About You\, and in the 2010s\, she composed the music and lyrics for the Broadway smash Kinky Boots—adding a Tony Award and another Grammy Award to her trophy case in the process. Her progressive pop and independent image have made her an influence on everyone from Lady Gaga to Katy Perry to Kim Petras. \nThis summer\, she waves goodbye\, bringing her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour to the Bowl. “I want to celebrate with people\,” she recently told Jimmy Kimmel. “Really celebrate with people and make it fun.” Be part of that celebration—and give this legendary pop star her flowers—on a pair of nights this summer. \nSee other concerts in this series
