  In April 1974, The Rolling Stones were in the midst of a prolific period with their album "It's Only Rock 'n Roll," which had been released in October 1974.

During this time, they were navigating changes within the group, including tension with founding member Mick Taylor, who departed shortly after the album’s release. The live recording at Mick Jagger's house, Stargroves, highlights the intimate and spontaneous nature of their recording sessions, wherein they often utilized the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.

The production of this recording demonstrates the band’s commitment to innovation, even as they faced personal and professional challenges.
