April 17, 1967: What happened the day The Rolling Stones visited Greece for the first time?

The year 1967 was of great importance for both the Rolling Stones and the Greeks, in a different way for each one. It was the year of extreme conservatism, the imposition of dictatorship, an absolute absurdity for Greece. It was also the beginning of the break-up for the band, given the situation of Brian Jones, who was struggling with his abuses and low self-esteem. However, on January the 20th, the Rolling Stones released the album “Between the Buttons” which also included the famous songs “Let’s spend the night together” and “Ruby Tuesday”. A few months later their European tour from Sweden would begin and end in Athens with a concert scheduled for 3 full hours. <a href="https://iliana-pap.medium.com/april-17-1967-what-happened-when-the-rolling-stones-visited-greece-for-the-first-time-6fcb3f3e9341">Website</a>
