The Night the Rolling Stones Kicked Off Their ‘Voodoo Lounge’ Tour

The Rolling Stones opened their massive Voodoo Lounge world tour on Aug. 1, 1994, beginning what became the biggest and most financially successful rock tour to date.

The first seeds of what would come were planted in December 1992, when, after spending nearly 30 years in the band, Bill Wyman , the Rolling Stones' bedrock bass player officially announced that he was out . In a later interview, Wyman explained  the circumstances of his departure saying, “Playing with the Stones there was always such a lot of pressure,” he said. “The next album or single always had to be the best, or at least sell more. When we got together to play it was a great moment. Working with Charlie [Watts] was fantastic, and we’re still really close. But when I toured with the Stones, it would take a month to practice all these songs we’d been playing for 30 years.”

Almost immediately, speculation began that Bill Wyman’s departure presaged the eventual demise of the group as a whole. It was a notion the Rolling Stones put to rest categorically nine months later when they entered the studio to begin work on new music with bassist Darryl Jones, whom they announced as Wyman's official replacement a few months before the July 1994 release of Voodoo Lounge .

Wyman had it exactly right. Instead of folding, the Rolling Stones ultimately took it up a notch. “What the audiences want are a lot of lights and pizzazz with bangs and whistles,” Mick Jagger said in the book According to the Rolling Stones . “On the ‘Voodoo Lounge Tour’ we had this huge lamp-post structure stuck in the middle of the stage. It was very good-looking, but by the time we got 25 minutes into the show, and then an hour, the lamp-post was still standing there doing nothing. We had to invent a whole feature with these Mexican inflatables – done in a way that made them look as though they were dolls in some strange kind of religious shrine.”

All of this pageantry, Keith Richards said in his autobiography Life , grew out of the latent expectations that surround the Rolling Stones. “It wasn’t Mick any more than the rest of us who conceived these megatours: 'Steel Wheels,' 'Voodoo Lounge,' 'Bridges to Babylon,' 'Forty Licks,' 'A Bigger Bang,' he said. "It was basically public demand that expanded them to that size. People say, why do you keep doing this? How much money do you need? Well, everyone likes making money, but we just wanted to do shows. And we’re working in an unknown medium.”

Even with a performance of that scale, at the end of the day, it's still supposed to be a cohesive show with real thought behind it, which is something that matters a great deal to Jagger. "We always feel that the shows must make some sort of sense to us intellectually,” he said. “We don’t care if nobody else ever gets the concept, but it has to work for us, so that should we have to explain the staging to a real serious critic – someone who might come up and say, ‘OK, what is this show really about? What the hell is the lamp-post doing there? Then we’ve got the answer ready.”

The tour in support of Voodoo Lounge officially kicked off – lamp-post, inflatables and all – at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. After an opening set by Counting Crows , who were riding high on the success of their debut album, August and Everything After , the Stones took the stage.

They wasted no time in going right to the start of the story, opening with their first major British hit, a cover of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away." As the video from MTV News shows, however, the Rolling Stones quickly hit a snag as Keith Richards broke a string and needed a replacement guitar.

The set list shows exactly what you would expect from the modern-era Stones tour: a good dose of their classic hits, interspersed with key tracks from the new album, plus a few surprises. These came mostly in the middle, with one of their less-successful disco hits, "Hot Stuff," followed by a cover of the Temptations' "I Can't Get Next To You." And while those songs threatened to sink the show a bit, the rarely played "Memory Motel" and the surprise world premiere of "Monkey Man" – the latter of which featured an appearance by a stagehand in a surreal voodoo-themed costume – more than made up for it.

After two nights in the nation's capital, the Rolling Stones spent the remainder of the year and the beginning of the next winding their way across North America before taking off to every continent on Earth with the exception of Antarctica. Their stop at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami was filmed live and saw release a year later on VHS as The Rolling Stones: Voodoo Lounge Live . It was reissued on DVD in 1998.

By then, the Rolling Stones' Voodoo Lounge tour had emerged as a success unlike anything that had come before it. Across two years and 124 shows, the band performed for 6.3 million people and raked in $320 million. Two decades later, it still ranked as the 10th highest-grossing concert tour of all time – and was the second most well-attended all time, bested only by U2 ’s 360 Tour.

Ron Wood, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones wave to the crowd at the Historic Atlantic City Convention Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., during the Steel Wheels Tour in December 1989. The group played three nights at the venue from 17th - 20th December 1989.

On July 12, 1962, The Rolling (then Rollin’) Stones played their first show at the famed Marquee Club in London. By the fall of 1963 they were on the road in Europe, on the low end of a package with the Everly Brothers, Little Richard, Bo Diddley and more.

Flash forward 60-plus years, and they’re filling the world’s biggest stadiums — as they have been since the mid-’70s — with the current North American leg of their Hackney Diamonds Tour.

Few acts boast the kind of road resume the Stones have built over the decades. Conservative estimates put the group’s tally at more than 2,000 concerts for more than 45 million people — including an estimated 1.5 million alone on Feb. 18, 2006 at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. And sometimes it seems like Mick Jagger has worn precisely that same number of outfits during all those years of performing.

Two of the Stones’ treks — A Bigger Bang from 2005-2007 and No Filter from 2017-2021 — are among the top 10 grossing tours of all time, according to Billboard Boxscore . The group’s two ’90s tours, Voodoo Lounge and Bridges to Babylon, ranked No. 1 and No. 2 for that decade, and A Bigger Bang topped the 2000s. Clearly, we like it when the Stones come to town — yes we do.

Why? So many reasons — not the least of which is a wealth of rock anthems the Stones dependably deliver most every time they hit the stage. There’s also staging, which is just as dependably awesome, and a sense of seeing bona fide history on display. We can certainly marvel at (and maybe be a little jealous of) Jagger’s continued vigor as he nears 81, and take comfort in the fact that Keith Richards, also 80, is still inexplicably with us despite behaviors that would take most everyone else off this mortal coil. “How do you make rock ‘n’ roll grow up? It seems to me that’s a very interesting question, and we’re the only answer,” Richards told this writer back in 2005. “When we finally croak, you’ll find out how long we can do this.”

The Hackney Diamonds Tour, which began April 28 in Houston and runs through July 17 in North America, is showing that the Stones have yet to gather any moss. Invigorated by a strong new album of the same name, the early shows have featured strong performances and changing set lists, and fans are still coming in droves.

And that has us thinking back over the group’s touring history, and the enormous legacy that’s been created since those Stones started rolling. Check out our ranking of the band’s 17 tours below,

British and American Tours (1964) / Irish Tour (1965)

From left: Bill Wyman, Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones performing at The ABC Theatre on Jan. 6, 1965 in Belfast.

Dubbed “England’s Newest Hitmakers,” The Stones began headlining on Jan. 6 at London’s Granada Theatre and would not be looking back after that. With Ian Stewart alongside on piano, the group was more exciting than seasoned, playing mostly covers, along with the “I Wanna Be Your Man” single John Lennon and Paul McCartney gifted to them. The footage and recordings that exist seem charmingly modest and rudimentary now, but those deafening audience screams showed that, undeniably, this was just the start of something substantial.

British, European, American and Irish Tours (1965)

The Stones had every reason to have more swagger throughout 1965, as the group released three albums ( The Rolling Stones No. 2, The Rolling Stones, Now! and Out of Our Heads ) and began to put originals on the charts. “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” started being played on the second Irish Tour (documented in the film Charlie Is My Darling ), while “Get Off My Cloud” and “19th Nervous Breakdown” also became part of the setlists before the end of the year. Got Live If You Want It! , recorded during the year’s first British Tour in March and released in late 1966, captures that early mania.

Australasian, European, American and British Tours (1966-1967)

The Stones were clearly coming into their own, with increasingly evolved albums like Aftermath and Between the Buttons , which meant the shows became more about the band than its influences — especially by the time the U.S. arena dates started in June. It was still hard to hear the group over the screaming, but this last run with Brian Jones showed exponential growth — although it would be a couple years before they’d hit the road again.

U.K. Tour (1971)

About to go into tax exile in the south of France (and make Exile on Main Street ), the Stones made a quick (18 shows, 10 dates) March run of their homeland. They retained the horn section from Europe ’70 and played a number of songs from the Sticky Fingers album, which came out a month after the tour ended.

Bridges to Babylon Tour (1997-1998)

Ron Wood, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones on the Bridges to Babylon Tour in 1997 in Chicago, Il.

Playing 102 dates in 25 countries for more than 4.5 million people, this was one of the Stones’ most extensive tours yet — though box-office wise it came in second, at the time, to the Voodoo Lounge Tour in 1994-1995. Former Beach Boys member Blondie Chaplin joined the backing vocalist team this time, and a genuine bridge came forward from the front of the stage to take the Stones to a B-stage for three songs each night. The tour also introduced in Internet vote that allowed fans to choose one song each night; “Gimme Shelter,” in fact, was added to the regular set after topping the poll four shows in a row. The tour also brought the Stones to Russia for the first time, playing Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on Aug. 11, 1998.

Tour of the Americas (1975) / Tour of Europe (1976)

Another two-year break, and another new guitarist: Ron Wood had joined from the splintering Faces to replace Mick Taylor. The horn section was gone, but Billy Preston was back from ’72, even playing two of his own hits in the middle of the Stones set. The glimmering, flower-shaped stage was the Stones’ glitziest yet and Jagger’s wardrobe his most eclectic, while the shows were the longest the group had performed to date, clocking in at two hours or more to keep up with industry standards, after being criticized for being too short on previous tours.

The trek also took the Stones into stadiums for the first time. With no new album, the ’75 sets focused on the greatest hits, while the European leg repertoire the following year featured several tracks from the just-released Black and Blue album. Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana were guests at the Madison Square Garden spot, while Clapton returned for a ’76 show in Leicester, England. The Paris ’75 shows yielded three sides of eventual live release Love You Live , while notorious shows the following year at the El Mocambo club in Toronto — in the wake of Richards’ drug bust and near incarceration — filled out the fourth.

U.S. Tour (1978)

This relatively brief — 24 shows — trek came on the heels of Some Girls , the Stones’ best studio album in at least six years, and maybe more. Wood was clearly more comfortable in the ranks at this point, and the new material provided a spark that was missing on the previous North American run in ’75. The itinerary mixed stadiums, arenas and theaters, and an intriguing roster of opening acts — Patti Smith, Van Halen, Journey, Kansas, the Doobie Brothers, Peter Tosh, Eddie Money, Etta James, Peter Tosh — brought new flavors each night. This was also the first time the idea of a farewell tour was invoked, but 46 years on…well, yeah, right.

No Security Tour (1999)

The Stones got “small” again — a relative term, but they moved from stadiums to arenas, at least during the early-year winter leg in North America, for the first time since 1981. Promoting a live album of the same title, No Security was dominated by hits and other favorites, though it was nice to hear the Stones roll out “(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66” again. In Europe that spring, meanwhile, the group was back in stadiums, making up postponed dates from the Bridges to Babylon tour.

Steel Wheels Tour/Urban Jungle Tour (1989-1990)

The vaunted comeback after a seven-year hiatus and an acrimonious schism between Jagger and Richards that kept the Stones from rolling. They kissed, made up, made a new album ( Steel Wheels ) and then made a lot of money — a record-setting $175 million in North America alone. Also covering Japan and Europe, these tours introduced an expanded band with more than twice as many adjunct musicians than actual Stones, including the Uptown Horns, longtime saxophonist Bobby Keys, keyboardist/musical director Chuck Leavell (Allman Brothers Band, Sea Level) and backing vocalists Lisa Fisher and Bernard Fowler. The stadium-sized, Mark Fisher-designed staging was generous, introducing inflatables and pyrotechnics, which provided a title to the subsequent live album Flashpoint .

Zip Code (2018) / America Latina Ole / No Filter Tour (2017-2021) / Sixty (2022)

The Rolling Stones kick off their "America Latina Ole 2016" tour at the National Stadium on Feb. 3, 2016 in Santiago, Chile.

With these interchangeable tours the Stones introduced their contemporary modus, playing a limited number of shows at a time, with plenty of days in between. The result has been consistently strong performances although, without new material to speak of, a sense of treading water. That said, the hits have been as good as ever, and new arrivals such as Karl Denson on saxophone and Sasha Allen fit in well. The 2021 U.S. dates, of course, were the Stones’ first ever without Charlie Watts, who passed away Aug. 24, 2021 at the age of 80; Steve Jordan proved to be the right fill-in, and with mortality raising its inevitable head (unless, perhaps, you’re Richards), the Stones seemed a different kind of driven and more visibly appreciative of the legacy they’re maintaining.

50 & Counting (2012-2013) / 14 On Fire (2014)

They did it for 40, so why not 50? The Stones’ golden anniversary tour was a limited affair, with just 30 dates in North America, the U.K. and France, mostly in arenas. Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor made guest appearances in London, while Mary J. Blige, Gwen Stefani, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer, Keith Urban and others showed up at various dates. For those who couldn’t join the celebration in person, there was a book ( The Rolling Stones: 50 ), a documentary ( Crossfire Hurricane ) and a compilation album ( GRRR! ). During 2014, the Stones took the party to Europe, Asia, Oceania and Israel — the band’s first appearance there, after authorities had banned the band back in the 60s.

Voodoo Lounge World Tour (1994-1995)

The Stones’ first trek without founding bassist Bill Wyman (and with Darryl Jones, who’s been there ever since) was another box office triumph, setting a new record with $320 million in North America and 6.5 million attendees worldwide. Songs from another solid new album, Voodoo Lounge , took their place alongside the weathered favorites as the Stones rolled their way through Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand on the band’s most comprehensive global journey yet. And keeping to the Voodoo theme, there were stilt-walkers and other New Orleans-style touches, plus more inflatables.

A Bigger Bang (2005-2007)

The Stones’ first new studio album in eight years — at No. 3, its 23rd consecutive Top 5 on the Billboard 200 — put the group back on the road again for two years (albeit with long breaks between legs). The vehicle to the second stage this time was a moving platform, which glided along the ramp Jagger also used to get closer to the crowd. An extensive video production and pyrotechnics dominated the visuals, and balconies were constructed as part of the stage set for big spenders.

A Bigger Bang set another box office record, with $558.3 million just in North America, and special shows included the Stones’ first-ever appearance in China; a Beacon Theatre date in New York City and a benefit for the Robin Hood Foundation at New York’s Radio City Music Hall nearly seven months later; a halftime performance at Super Bowl XL in Detroit; and a Feb. 18, 2006 performance on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro for a reported crowd of more than 1.5 million. On that night, the Stones may well have gotten some satisfaction.

Licks Tour (2002-2003)

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones perform on stage on the opening night of their "Licks" world tour at Boston Fleetcentre on Sept. 3, 2002 in Boston.

The Stones’ celebrated their 40th anniversary in exuberant fashion, with flexible set lists — reportedly 80 songs were played throughout the tour — and three night stands in some cities that included a gig each at a stadium, arena and theater. For some shows the group included segments spotlighting one of its classic albums. The outing took the group from Toronto to it’s first-ever performances in Hong Kong, with an HBO special filmed at Madison Square Garden. Its most notable show, perhaps, was July 30, 2003 at the Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto, a day-long benefit before nearly half a million fans to help the city recover from the SARS outbreak that began the year before.

American Tour (1981) / European Tour (1982)

The Stones had another solid album, the vault-diving Tattoo You (its eighth consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard 200), to promote on its return to the road after three years off — and made the most of it with long (at least two dozen songs) shows that included covers of the Temptations’ “Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me),” Eddie Cochran’s “Twenty-Flight Rock” and the Miracles’ “Going to a Go-Go,” which was released was released as a single from 1982’s Still Life souvenir. Kazuhide Yamazaki designed the colorful stage, which included a cherry picker that took Jagger above the crowd.

Ticket sales broke records, and the band raised eyebrows by accepting a reported $1 million sponsorship from Jovan Musk — which opened the floodgates for the practice within the industry. Mick Taylor, meanwhile, returned to guest at the Dec. 14 show in Kansas City — and, on Oct. 9 a pre-superstardom Prince was booed off stage while opening for the Stones at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and only appeared the next night after getting a pep talk from Jagger.

American Tour (aka S.T.P. Tour) (1972) / Pacific Tour (1973) / European Tour (1973)

Legends of drugs, debauchery (this was where the unreleased Cocksucker Blues documentary was filmed, after all) and riots abound from this global jaunt — especially the U.S. leg, where memories of the 1969 Altamont tragedy fueled sensational coverage and there were battles between fans and police in many cities. A bomb blew up the Stones’ equipment truck in Montreal, and after Jagger and Richards were jailed following a fracas with a photographer in Boston, Mayor Kevin White bailed them out to keep things peaceful at Boston Garden. Phew.

On stage, meanwhile, the Stones were hot, and buoyed by strong new material from that year’s Exile on Main Street . Guitarist Mick Taylor was even more fully integrated into the band, the horn section made its U.S. debut, Nicky Hopkins joined Ian Stewart on piano and Stevie Wonder kicked ass in the opening slot. The cycle included a Jan. 18, 1973 benefit concert for victims of the December 1972 earthquake in Nicaragua, before the Stones headed Down Under — and the arrival of Goats Head Soup before the European tour brought more fresh material into the set, while Billy Preston served double duty as opening act and keyboardist for the Stones.

American Tour (1969) / European Tour (1970)

Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones performs at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 27, 1969 in New York City.

This is arguably where the Stones earned their Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World sobriquet. The group had been off the road for a then-unheard-of two years, but had made plenty of news with drug busts, new albums ( Their Satanic Majestics Request, Beggars Banquet ) and so on. The cycle was both triumphant and tragic; it began with Brian Jones’ dismissal from the band and his subsequent death, with the famed July 5, 1969 concert in front of up to half a million people in London’s Hyde Park occurring just days after his passing.

The American Tour, meanwhile, ended with the ill-fated closing concert at the Altamont Speedway in Tracy, Calif., where security clashed with fans and one man was fatally stabbed (documented, along with the tour, in the Maysles brothers’ 1970 documentary Gimme Shelter ). Prior to that, however, the Stones were on fire, as captured by the Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out live album, with material from the Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed albums and opening sets by Ike & Tina Turner, B.B. King and Terry Reid. The group added two horn players for the European Tour, and even began previewing Sticky Fingers songs such as “Brown Sugar” and “Dead Flowers.”

Moon Is Up: The Rolling Stones’ Voodoo Lounge at 30

Looking back on the rock icons’ first album without Bill Wyman

rolling stones tour 1994

Voodoo Lounge marked a milestone for the Rolling Stones in several ways. 

Released on July 11, 1994, it was the band’s 20th studio album, their first in five years and first without bassist Bill Wyman, who had departed three years earlier. 

“ A rhythm-section change in a band is a heavy-duty number,” Richards wryly noted at the time. “It’s totally up to Bill. If he doesn’t want to do it, it’s his decision. I don’t want a reluctant guy on the road.” 

In the pantheon of classic Stones albums, it initially seemed to reside in the second tier, as did most Stones albums released after the mid ‘70s. 

Nevertheless, while it might not be called an especially exceptional effort, it is a solid Stones album that, in retrospect, measures up quite a bit better 30 years later than how it was initially perceived. Mostly propelled by riff ready rockers — “Love Is Strong,” “I Go Wild,” “You Got Me Rocking,” “Mean Disposition,” “Baby Break It Down,” and “Sparks Will Fly” in particular — it boasted enough prominent new tracks to bolster a set list for the tour that took its name from the album title itself.

VIDEO: The Rolling Stones “Love Is Strong”

It is, in fact, a decidedly solid Rolling Stones album.

Produced by Don Was, the sessions for Voodoo Lounge became the source of some conflict between Was and Mick Jagger in particular. In a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone , the singer commented “… there were a lot of things that we wrote for Voodoo Lounge that Don steered us away from: groove songs, African influences and things like that. And he steered us very clear of all that. And I think it was a mistake.”

Was responded by saying that he was not “anti-groove, just anti-groove without substance, in the context of this album.”

“They had a number of great grooves,” he continued. “But it was like, ‘OK, what goes on top of it? Where does it go?’ I just felt that it’s not what people were looking for from the Stones. I was looking for a sign that they can get real serious about this, still play better than anybody and write better than anybody.”

Nevertheless Voodoo Lounge proved to be a commercial success, reaching either gold or platinum status in several countries. Granted, it could be argued that any new Stones album was guaranteed to do well, especially after an absence of five years. After all, this was a band that proved its longevity was no accident. Significantly too, one of the album’s acknowledged stand-outs, “You Got Me Rocking,” became a staple in the band’s live sets while netting the group the first-ever Grammy Award for “Best Rock Album” of 1995.

Wyman’s departure seemed to have little effect on the Stones’ overall sound, given that his at first unofficial replacement, bassist Darryl Jones, did an admirable job of providing the all-important rhythmic foundation in tandem with the usual steady support of Charlie Watts. Notably, Voodoo Lounge featured an unusually large contingent of support musicians, among them, the dedicated keyboard accompaniment provided by Chuck Leavell, the backing vocals of Bernard Fowler, prominent percussion from Lenny Castro, trumpet courtesy of Mark Isham, Flaco Jimenez on accordion, a cameo vocal from Bobby Womack, and added keyboard contributions from Ivan Neville and Benmont Tench.

Likewise, Ron Wood could be credited with a yeoman’s job of filling in the extra textures courtesy of his efforts on pedal steel and occasional lap steel guitars. He was then, and still is now, the Stones’ secret weapon.

For his part, Mick Jagger manages to vary his usual petulant posture, modifying his signature snarl here and there through occasional restraint and reflection. That’s especially evident on the better tracks — a consistently compelling “Moon Is Up,” the weary, semi-remorseful “Out of Tears,” the decidedly descriptive “Blinded By Rainbows,” and a sentimental serenade “Sweethearts Together,” the latter of which sounds like it was once part of the Everly Brothers repertoire. Richards was given opportunity to take the lead vocals on three songs, most notably, the tattered self-deprecating ballad “The Worst” and the overtly emotional but eagerly emphatic “Thru and Thru,” the latter of which was woven into the soundtrack of the second season finale of The Sopranos .

The album can be credited with other highlights as well. The sparking arrangement shared in “New Faces” brings to mind the ornate trappings and tender touch of “Dandelion” from nearly three decades prior. “Suck on the Jugular” is fueled by pure funk and Isham’s nuanced trumpet solo. 

Ultimately, Voodoo Lounge is nuanced to a greater degree than many of the later Stones albums. That’s one reason why it’s a particularly inviting refuge, even now.

rolling stones tour 1994

For exactly one song.

It was July 9, 1975, and he and a Stones-loving buddy had driven from San Bernardino to the Forum in Inglewood to see their rock ‘n’ roll heroes.

Inside a flask shaped like a pair of binoculars, they smuggled whiskey in for the first of five nights at the arena. Upon discovering their tickets were in the nosebleed seats, they decided to sneak down to the front of the floor section.

“We were only 19 or so and there’s Ringo Starr , there’s Liza Minnelli, there’s Bianca Jagger,” McGarry says. “There are these seats, right there by the stage. We sit down, we’re trying not to make any noise. We’re having a little bit more of the whiskey.

“And then all of a sudden, the lights come on, it was a lotus flower stage, and Jagger pops his head out of the top of it,” he says. “We start screaming and jumping up and down and yelling.

Then something really memorable happened.

“The bouncers grabbed us, took us and threw us out the back door of the Forum,” McGarry says.

The one song he got to hear – “Brown Sugar” – was the extent of his first Rolling Stones concert, but McGarry went back the next four nights of that 1975 residency and he’s kept going ever since.

When McGarry gets to SoFi Stadium on Wednesday, July 10, and returns there on Saturday, July 13, it will mark the 99th and 100th Rolling Stones shows he’s attended, not counting various nights with solo Stones on their own outings.

The history of the Rolling Stones in Southern California reaches back even further to June 5, 1964, when they made their United States debut at Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino, and it has continued over the decades with legendary tours and concerts in iconic Southern California venues.

There are plenty of stories of the band’s performances over the past 60 years in Southern California, so we asked fans to share their memories. And they did. What follows are edited only for length and clarity.

The ’60s: The U.S. debut in San Bernardino

The Rolling Stones played their first show in the United States at Swing Auditorium in the Inland Empire on June 5, 1964. They returned there several more times in the ’60s, while also playing the Hollywood Bowl, the Sports Arena, and the infamous Altamont festival.

Hollywood Bowl 1966 was the first time I saw the Stones live. They were young and so was I. Tickets were $5  I did not see them for several years, but the last 25 years I’ve seen them every tour, more than 20 times. There was a magical trip for Stones fans to Stockholm in 2013, three shows in five days with seats in the pit or first five rows. The last venue was small, less than 2000, easy to make eye contact with the band.

At the Forum, we had good seats on the floor, when they came out on the catwalk they were seats away. I excitedly told my best friend Nancy, ‘They’re looking at us!’ She told me not to get too enthusiastic – there was a 25-year-old flashing them in the row behind us.

My love of the blues was reinforced with early Stones albums. Posters, ticket stubs and album covers hold a special place in my home. My Goldendoodle Keef was named after Keith Richards, my favorite Stone. I look forward to seeing them with my best friend of over 66 years, Nancy Qualtieri Lee, on July 10.

The Stones and I both have wrinkles, but when they play “Satisfaction” I’m 15 again. I will continue to spend my grandchildren’s inheritance on Stones tickets as long as there are the Rolling Stones.

– Kay Bourgeois Harris, Huntington Beach

I was backstage at the Swing Auditorium with the Stones at their 1964 bus tour when I was 18. An unknown at the time Sonny Bono was there with me as well as the editor of the British music publication Melody Maker. Somewhere, I still have the playlist that Charlie Watts had written for the gig. There were PR stickers posted around Pacific High School in San Bernardino before the concert announcing, “The Rolling Stones are coming – dirtier than the Beatles.’

– Noel Farmer, Brooklyn, New York

It was our sophomore year of high school and none of us had even heard of the Rolling Stones except for Diane who was crazy for them. She convinced a group of us to see them at Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino. We had front-row seats and I don’t think it was even a sellout crowd. Fast-forward one year to 1965 and it was a different story. The Stones had become hugely popular and this time the stage was mobbed by crazed but controlled fans. Another friend had won a radio call-in contest for a backstage visit, so two of us gave her our albums to be autographed. I never imagined that 59 years later it would be a cherished possession. Wish I had saved the tickets stubs!

– Nancy Brucks, Anaheim Hills

I was at the 1964 Southern California Rolling Stones concert. In fact, my friends and I had front-row center seats. Looking at their tour schedule, it looks like I attended their first U.S. concert at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino. Last night I looked up that venue and was thrilled to watch the original concert on YouTube. Jagger was so young and so cute! I was hoping maybe I would be in the video, but wasn’t. The most memorable experience from that night was when Mick used his mic to do a lot of very sexual things!  My friends said I was nuts to think that and had a dirty mind! Obviously, that wasn’t the case.

I think I began my musical adventures when I was 16 or 17 when I saw the Beach Boys perform at Loyola University Spring Fling  in 1963. Very exciting when Mike Love took me on stage and I lip-synced in the chorus of ‘Little Surfer Girl.’ I went to Westchester High School and was in the same graduating class with the two of the Turtles, Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman. They had their hit ‘Happy Together’ when they were, I think, 17 or 18. I regret that I never got to see the Beatles … but, unbelievably, one of my Manhattan Beach roommates, Olivia, became the second wife of George Harrison and the mother of their son Dhani.

Everyone in L.A. had heard that the Stones would be playing a free concert in the Bay Area but no one knew where until a couple of days before the show. The day before the show I got on a midnight PSA flight from LAX to SFO. My flight was packed and approximately 75% of the passengers were high on acid. Not me. I didn’t trust crowds.

When we got to SFO, I ran right over to Hertz. All they had left were gigantic Cadillacs. Five hippies chipped in if I would drive as they were in no shape to get anywhere by themselves. We drove to Livermore and the crush of cars happened all night. At 3 a.m. or 4 a.m., we drove as far as the crowds would allow and parked by a farm. Just follow the crowds. The next day I called Hertz and told them the car was stolen. Never heard about it again.

Got to Altamont just as the sun was coming up. Sat down about 100 feet in front of stage right. What I didn’t notice was the Hells Angels buses parked about 100 feet behind us. These clowns were completely [messed up] on speed and LSD and were in a foul mood. Luckily, their path was about 20-30 feet to the left of me.

Of course, no one played well. The stage was too low and the PA was crap. When the Stones came on, everything turned to crap. Fighting all around the stage front and Mick was pissed. Then I saw an Angel with a big knife just plunging it into someone down front. That’s when Mick started yelling, “Hey people!” repeatedly. There was a highway several hundred yards behind the right side of the stage. I ran up there, stuck my thumb out, and got picked up by a beautiful girl in a new sports car, who was going all the way to to Oakland Airport.

I got on a midnight flight to LAX and was home in Santa Monica and in bed by 2 a.m. When I was interviewed several years ago, the moviemaker and myself decided I had to be the first person home and in bed before the other 500,000. I had friends who were stuck there for days. I heard thousands of cars were abandoned. The movie [“Gimme Shelter”] captured it perfectly.

In the summer of 1965, I was employed at Ward and Harrington Lumber Co. on Coast Highway in Newport Beach. Now the location is Sterling BMW dealership. The Watts Riots erupted and lasted most of the month of August. I can recall our lumber truck drivers making deliveries in and around Los Angeles, still carrying pistols with them even through November.

My brother gave me Rolling Stones tickets for the Los Angeles Sports Arena for my birthday. I really didn’t want to chance it. No regrets. The good news is my wife knowing this story surprised me with an early birthday present with two up-close tickets to the Stones at the Honda Center on May 15, 2013. Ooh-hoo-hoo!!!

– Charlie Wolfe, Costa Mesa

On Sept. 23, 1966, my new boyfriend took me for a ride to Los Angeles from Orange County. Our Sunday drive took us near the Sports Arena in the afternoon. We saw that the Rolling Stones were performing and decided to buy tickets to the show. Our tickets were $20 each for the first row on the balcony behind the band. It’s the concert we will always remember being the most fabulous event ever and a fabulous beginning to our relationship. This year, we are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with four children and eight grandchildren.  Thank you, Rolling Stones, for the wonderful experience.

– Karen and Phil Luchesi, Newport Beach

My first and only Stones concert was July 26, 1966, in San Francisco’s Cow Palace. I was 14 and I had a particular girl in mind but either her parents would not sign off and/or I didn’t have the nerve to ask. My date was mom, who drove. It was a full roster and a three-hour show. I only remember the Stones and the Standells. I’m quite surprised to read the Jefferson Airplane also played. We were miles away; this was also my first experience in such a large venue, and, of course, sonically it was pretty miserable. I see now it was Jagger’s 22nd birthday, a fact I don’t remember registering at the time, but I do recall he put on the kind of show you could enjoy from a hundred yards back.

– Randall Crane, Irvine

Ahh, yes! The Rolling Stones are emblazoned in my memory from 1967. The UCI graduate school of administration. On the first floor, right underneath our study room was the Ratskeller, a rocking beer and sandwich place with a jukebox that was so loud it came through the floor! Our class was small, three of us, and we all sang along to ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’ and the other Stones songs that I still remember the lyrics at 80! UCI had a lot of visiting groups in the ’60s, but never the Rolling Stones. Too bad. I could have sung every tune they played!

– Bob Bunyan, Mission Viejo

In the ’70s:  Forum shows and Anaheim shoes

The Rolling Stones played the Forum in Inglewood often in the ’70s, with several 1975 shows available as live albums. Then there was the Anaheim show where Mick Jagger found out what happens when you invite fans to throw their shoes on stage.

June 1972, the Forum. Out of the hundreds of rock concerts I have ever seen (including the Beatles) this is NUMERO UNO! This was the Stones at the height of their creative powers and they were still hungry to prove it. Highlights include a huge dragon curtain in front of stage, the opening chords to ‘Brown Sugar,’ and Jagger coming out of the dragon’s mouth, to strut and prance… Mick Taylor, Keith and Bill Wyman standing up straight, deadpan.

This show was after they had played an afternoon show – back in those days, they never played an encore. That night – they did!Program, cool jet poster – yeah still got ’em. I have gotten rid of many programs over the years, Not this one!

In 1975, three out of five shows at the Forum, lotus flower stage opens up with Jagger at top of petal opening up to front row, Jaggar,10 feet in front of me – it was something to behold!

For a long time I took a break because I felt I had seen the Stones at their best, especially indoors, but over time broke down and saw them at Dodger Stadium, the San Diego baseball stadium, a couple of Rose Bowl shows, a couple of Staples shows. And now, July 10 at SoFi, excited again. Neither of us are getting any younger!

– Kevin Bossenmeyer, Irvine

June 13, 1972.  I was a junior in high school and a buddy came up to me at school and asked if I wanted to go see the Rolling Stones in San Diego. I said, ‘Let’s go,’ and about midday we headed from Fullerton down to San Diego. Ticket was $6.50. At the San Diego Sports Arena, the show was unreserved seating, and the floor was open, no seats. We got a spot on the floor about 10 feet directly in front of the stage where Mick Jagger would be singing. It was a long wait, but well worth it.

When the show started, everyone was standing and packed together to rock out. I remember people getting stoned, taking a hit from a joint, sticking your arm up in the air with the joint, and the next concertgoer nearby would grab it, take a hit and hold up and pass to another person. I remember Mick Jagger singing a hit, rocking out. He had a big stainless steel bowl filled with rose petals, and as he spun around, flung all the rose petals into the crowd.

– Rick Morgan, San Clemente

I am going to SoFi for both shows. My first two Stones shows were at Anaheim Stadium right after high school graduation. and yes, I remember “throw all your shoes on stage.” Peter Tosh and the Outlaws were the warm-up bands. Peter had a song called “Legalize It” and passed out big joints. I tried it and it was full of seeds. Yuck.

Those ’78 shows started a lifelong love affair. I have been at the Prince shows. The 50th anniversary tour with Mick Taylor was the best because of Mick sitting in on a few of his classics he helped form. Learning how to get in the pit is the biggest deal these days. I have been in the pit four times, and it is unbelievable, the best experience on the planet.

– Jim Power, Laguna Hills

I was at the 1978 Anaheim Stadium concert. I remember a shoe ended up on the stage. Mick Jagger saying, ‘I want all your [darn] shoes!’ Well, everyone threw their shoes on stage and they walked off. The crowd was not happy.

Before music was played, people were using large beach blankets to throw girls in the air. My sister Susan is 4’11”. As we walked by I heard, ‘Hey she’s small, grab her!’ She was grabbed and flung in the air, screaming, ‘Let me down.’ She was pissed off to say the least.

– Bob Waters, Laguna Niguel

I was there. Mick, after dodging intermittent shoes being thrown at him, threw one of his back and then announced, ‘OK, I want all your shoes!’ It was raining shoes on the stage for a couple minutes. Then the ‘Some Girls’ show continued smoothly.

– Bob Tucker, Garden Grove

In the ’80s: Prince abdicates, GNR roars

Prince was not yet a superstar when he opened for the Stones at the Coliseum in 1981 and got booed off the stage. Near the end of the decade, Guns N’ Roses and Living Colour fared much better as openers at the same venue for the Stones.

I went to see the Stones at the Coliseum in 1981. My roommate and I were both friends with a guy (I do not even remember his name) that told me he had an extra ticket to see the Stones. He then said whoever answered the phone when he called would get to go with him and buy the extra ticket.  Well, you guessed it, I answered the phone and went to the concert with him.

I remember no knowing who Prince was at the time other than he was the opening act. I did not like any of his songs and the crowd booed him and threw eggs at him. Little did I know he would become so successful later on. I must say I never became a fan of Prince and laugh when I think about that event.

– Linda Burstein, Laguna Niguel

Saw the Stones at the Coliseum in 1981. This guy called Prince came out. I remember one of his songs seemed particularly misogynistic. After a few songs he was booed off the stage, and his manager came out and lectured the audience like we were a bunch of second graders.

I don’t think Prince came back out.

It happened.

Les Poltrack, Chanhassen, Minnesota

In 1986, the Stones used our sound equipment (Glass Family Electric Band) for a week for their L.A. gig rehearsals. After delivering the equipment, I was in their rehearsal for five hours – lucky me – as they went through all their songs up until that time.  I was in and out of that house they rented, which I believe was Stephen Stills’ house in Laurel Canyon, for that week. Both Mick and Keith were very nice and made me feel comfortable.

– David Capilouto

1989, LA Coliseum, Living Colour, Guns ‘N’ Roses and the Stones. Autumn, a 16-year-old neighbor girl, won tickets from a radio station. She asked me, a 39-year-old dad, to escort her. Her mom is a huge Stones fan, so she was not happy that her daughter didn’t ask her. Score!

She came to see Guns ‘N’ Roses and I had never heard of them. I was there for the Stones. Neither of us knew Living Colour. My highlight was when the Stones played ‘Honky Tonk Women.’ They had two three-story blow-up dolls that the roadies pulled on with a rope to the beat of music. One of the dolls was a blonde with her legs crossed smoking a cigarette. It was awesome.

She recently thanked me again for taking her to her first concert. She now has many concerts under her belt which includes, unfortunately, the Las Vegas Route 91 country concert on Oct. 1, 2017. She was shot three times – hand, lung, and jawbone and tongue. She spent a month in the hospital. There is no question that her husband’s quick action getting her to a hospital saved her life. She no longer teaches grade school, but her attitude and love for life has returned. She is awesome.

– Mike McCarthy, Huntington Beach

The Rolling Stones concert I saw in October 1989 at the Coliseum was probably the best concert I ever saw. But the real story is the journey getting to the concert. The morning of ticket sales, standing in the parking lot at Tower Records, my future husband Joe’s number was somewhere in the first few in line. Finally, the doors opened and the first few of us went in. However, there was a problem. The Tower Records computer was crashed! Our hopes were dashed.

If memory serves, those of us left in line were finally told to go home, leave our wristbands on, and come back at a specified time, and in the meantime, they would try to reserve us some tickets. When we came back to Tower Records, Joe showed his wristband, and we purchased our reserved tickets. Apparently, the manager called someone with clout, who was able to save a block of tickets for those of us still in line in Torrance. We were elated! We were going to get to see The Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses, and Living Colour!  And not only that, we scored front-row seats!!!

In the ’90s:  Baseball stadiums and the Rose Bowl

The ’90s saw the Stones play the largest stages in Southern California, including a pair of shows at both Dodger Stadium and the Rose Bowl.

My son and I attended their concert, early ’90s at Rose Bowl. We were interviewed by an Aussie news outlet that was beaming via satellite from the parking lot. Remember them asking what my favorite Stones song was and I replied “(I Cant Get No) Satisfaction.” In succeeding years, he and I attended concerts at Staples, also at Petco Park in San Diego, Dodger Stadium, and not too long ago, SoFi Stadium shortly after opening. I am 83 years old, my son is 42, and for the coming concert at SoFi, we will bring our 9-year-old grandson for a perfect trifecta. Three generations.

In the ’00s: The Stones go big

The first decade of the new millennium saw the Rolling Stones play huge stadiums such Angel Stadium and Dodger Stadium, the Hollywood Bowl, the Forum, Staples Center, and Honda Center.

I’ve been a Rolling Stones fan since 1964 and I’ve seen lots of their concerts. The best was at Anaheim Stadium on Nov. 2, 2002. The Angels had just won the World Series in that stadium. While rocking out, the Stones played the video of Darin Erstad catching the last out of the World Series. The crowd went wild. The memory of that night will not fade away. Somehow some old English rockers – the greatest ever – knew the baseball crowd and we got what we wanted.

I have had the privilege to see them over 40 times, I believe, in Japan, London, Paris, and soon to add Canada. I had the honor of working the local crew with IATSE 504 and doing Keith Richards’ spotlight at Anaheim Stadium in 2003. I have the work pass and I have the setlist that was listed as Edison Field. I also have a few guitar picks and a pair of Charlie’s drum sticks. On this tour, I am seeing 11 shows. I just got back from Denver and my next show is in Canada. The shows have been great!

– Larry Morgia, Irvine

I saw the Stones at either Angel Stadium or Dodger Stadium 20 years ago. It was a great show, of course, with Mick doing his thing. Some of my favorites they played: ‘Can’t You Hear Me Knocking,’ ‘Dead Flowers,’ ‘Sister Morphine.’ You can tell my favorite album. ‘Sticky Fingers.’ I follow Mick on Facebook. Love these guys; they are the soundtrack for our lives.

In the ’10s: Large and small

For a band as big as the Rolling Stones, an arena is about as small as it gets. Imagine how lucky you’d feel to have scored a ticket to the tiny Echoplex in L.A. to see them one night in 2013.

My favorite experience was in 2013, front row in the pit at Staples Center. From this prime spot, I witnessed something new: the band’s on-stage relationships. I saw them communicate with just a wink or a raised eyebrow, showcasing their decades-long synergy. That night, we were treated to a surprise appearance by Mick Taylor, who revived his legendary solos on tracks like ‘Sway’ and ‘Can’t You Hear Me Knocking.’ It was pure sonic magic.

A memorable moment was Ronnie Wood snapping his fingers and sending a plectrum over my shoulder, hitting actor Aaron Paul (Jesse from ‘Breaking Bad’) on the forehead. This show holds a special place in my ‘Heart of Stone’ as it was the last time I saw Charlie Watts behind the drum kit.

For my 14th concert, I’ve designed a special baseball jersey featuring my ticket stubs superimposed on the iconic tongue logo, with the dates of every Stones concert I’ve attended listed on the back. As Jagger once sang, ‘This could be the last time …’. Well, I sure hope not!

Incidentally, I’m a two-time player on the CBS reality show ‘Survivor’ because I was attracted to the idea of ‘cheating death,’ but is there a better example of that than Keith Richards? I think not!

– David Wright, Sherman Oaks

My wife and I have seen the Stones quite a few times. The first time I saw them was at the Forum in either ’73 or ’74.  My wife Sandy saw them at the Hollywood Bowl in 1966, She was 12 at the time.

In 2015, at Petco Park, I was invited to have dinner with the Stones. When we arrived at the entrance of the area for dinner, I had to show my ID; I had forgotten my wallet in the car. Sandy went to get my wallet but by the time she came back, it was too late. There was no one at the door and it was locked. We saw Charlie Watts and asked him if there was any way to get in, he said he didn’t know. He was very polite and told us to call Keith’s manager, which we did; her voicemail was full. So much for that.

5 Classic Rolling Stones Songs Missing from Their 2024 Tour

by Thom Donovan July 4, 2024, 3:45 pm

Since The Rolling Stones formed in London in 1962, they’ve created a vast catalog that’s tough to whittle down into a setlist.

Videos by American Songwriter

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood are currently out on their Hackney Diamonds Tour and like most legacy acts, trying to balance new material with old hits.

The Rolling Stones released Hackney Diamonds , their 24th studio album, last year. It’s their first album following drummer Charlie Watts’ death in 2021, leaving only Jagger and Richards as original members.

Though some deep cuts are bound to be excluded, the omitted songs on the list below may surprise you.

“Ruby Tuesday” from Between the Buttons (1967)

An early hit for The Rolling Stones, “Ruby Tuesday” is a baroque pop love song with lyrics written by Richards. Jagger and Richards are revisiting their early years this tour by including “Let’s Spend the Night Together” and “She’s a Rainbow,” giving fans their allotment of psychedelia. But “Ruby Tuesday” and its tender chorus will be missed.

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday Who could hang a name on you? When you change with every new day Still, I’m going to miss you

“Rip This Joint” from Exile on Main St. (1972)

The Rolling Stones haven’t played “Rip This Joint” since 2003 but there’s no shortage of ferocious blues in their catalog. It’s also one of the Stones’ quickest tempos and its speed may have something to do with the song’s bench status for the past two decades. You can bump the tempo to “Rocks Off” and give the audience its dose of Exile’s bar band blues.

Mama says yes, Papa says no Make up your mind ’cause I gotta go I’m gonna raise hell at the Union Hall Drive myself right over the wall

“Angie” from Goats Head Soup (1973)

When you want to rip this joint, the acoustic ballads are the first to go. Though it is surprising to leave “Angie” from the set. In 1973, it reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is still one of the band’s most streamed songs. Nicky Hopkins’ piano part is as crucial to the recording as Richards and Mick Taylor’s dual acoustic guitars, and it’s worth reconsidering with Chuck Leavell’s presence on stage.

With no loving in our souls And no money in our coats You can’t say we’re satisfied But Angie, I still love you, baby Everywhere I look, I see your eyes There ain’t a woman that comes close to you Come on, baby, dry your eyes

“Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” from Sticky Fingers (1971)

If you’re going to edit a set, removing a seven-minute jam is a good place to start. The Rolling Stones last played “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” in 2022 to celebrate their 60th anniversary. However, recent YouTube clips reveal the band performing “B–ch” on the current tour if you yearn to have your Sticky Fingers blues unhinged Stones-style.

Y’all got cocaine eyes Yeah, you got speed-freak jive

“Street Fighting Man” from Beggars Banquet (1968)

According to setlist.fm , “Street Fighting Man” is the 13th most-played song of the Stones’ career. It’s one of Richards’ most iconic guitar riffs but not everyone was immediately enthused about the song. U.S. radio stations were wary to spin “Street Fighting Man” fearing it would spark more anti-war protests during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Jagger responded by saying, “The last time they banned one of our records in America, it sold a million.”

Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy ’Cause summer’s here and the time is right For fighting in the street, boy

Rolling Stones Bring Back Octogenarian Pride, Rocking as Vigorously as Ever at SoFi Stadium Show: Concert Review

Mick Jagger performs with The Rolling Stones at The Rolling Stones ÒHackney Diamonds TourÓ held at SoFi Stadium on July 10, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.

The age question is suddenly America’s big question, as anyone who reads headlines can attest. Classic rock beat politics to the punch by at least a few years, in making that a crucial debate. There’s a general agreement that the president of the United States is not today what he was four years ago. But with the Rolling Stones coming into L.A.’s SoFi Stadium for the first time since 2021, with a lead singer who is only eight months younger than Joe Biden, can we say that this is the same group that it was three years ago?

After a rousing opening set by the War and Treaty, there was the obligatory nod to dead men coming in the Stones’ opening number. (“Start Me Up” isn’t the leadoff batter on every Stones tour — in 2021, it was relegated to ninth position — it only seems like it is, or ought to be.) From there, the theme of rocking was quickly established, with “You Got Me Rocking” — a recurring “Voodoo Lounge” cut that, honestly, the band possibly loves more than the overall fandom — followed by “It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll.” As is typical with a modern-day Stones set, there are a few wild-card slots, mostly in the first third of the show, and among them, besides the last two aforementioned songs, L.A. first-nighters also got . On another night, they might’ve gotten “”Let’s Spend the Night Together,” “Rocks Off,” “Bitch” or “Street Fighting Man.” The repertoire is deep when it comes to “surprise songs,” almost as deep as Taylor Swift’s.

The show highlight was “Brown Sugar”… sorry, just kidding, of course. (That choice is as firmly retired as Bill Wyman. Shed a wistful tear if you must for 2019, very likely the last time anyone will have heard that problematic pick in concert, though they could always surprise us with it again in 2027.) No one has yet parsed the possible issues of “Midnight Rambler” to the point of banishment, anyway — so that remains in its perennial spot as a great “11:00 number” (not quite literally, but in Broadway terms), extended as always with stops and starts so that Mick can get down on his knees at the end of the stage’s thrush ramp, and so that it can go into double-time with as much blowsy harmonica soloing as ever from Jagger and his apparently bottomless lungs. On this 2024 tour, “Midnight Rambler” is immediately succeeded by “Gimme Shelter,” sung as a duet on that same mid-floor ramp with Chanel Haynes, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better classic-rock one-two punch. In fact, the whole last quintet of songs, also including “Honky Tonk Women,” “Paint It Black” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” is as exciting a five-song run as you could put in any rock show. Even if you came to it with the hope of hearing more deep cuts, that last stretch of the main set counts as some kind of peak-level scientific/visceral programming.

Another one of those “Hackney Diamonds” numbers was saved for a penultimate encore slot: the gospel-rock-flavored “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” performed as nearly a duet with Lady Gaga on record, and turned into a second duet of the night with Haynes on stage. Jagger must obviously be sweet on Haynes to bring her to the fore twice in one night, and it’s not hard to see why: She is unabashedly Tina, for all intents and purposes. You’re thinking along those lines even before you remember, or look up, that Haynes was plucked for this position from actually playing Tina Turner on the London stage. Of course Ike and Tina opened for the Stones on tour in the late ’60s, but having Haynes so overtly recreate her image now across two different spotlight appearances doesn’t feel like a cheap nostalgic trip. Lifeforce is lifeforce, and Haynes has it to match Jagger’s.

Is anything diminished here, as the Stones push the envelope (as a man of a similar age and status, Paul McCartney, is also doing) beyond what was imagined possible? We could tell you that Jagger avoids hitting the high notes on a few times, either doing them a step down — as in the chorus of “Honky Tonk Women” — or relegating a very, very occasional chorus line to Haynes and Bernard Fowler. But his vocals remain forceful as well as cocky and playful across the board. Of course, as he ages, maybe it will turn out to be useful that he started out slurring. To say that a frontman doesn’t miss a step takes on extra meaning when someone like Jagger is getting his steps in literally every moment he’s on stage, never planting himself for more than a few seconds at a time. To see him skip down the ramp — or to see him teasingly lift up his T-shirt to reveal a flash of skinny torso — is to see breezy youth personified, albeit in an admittedly somewhat gnarled package; it’s an oxymoron you can waste time trying to unpack, or just find ongoing delight in.

Richards and Wood also have some built-in advantage to always having fallen on the side of “ragged but right.” Perhaps one day one of them will be more ragged than the other, but for now, they make enjoyably equal contributions as soloist on roughly alternating selections — with “Before They Make Me Run” providing a special opportunity for some twin lead playing, even as the tune is nearly as sax-section-driven as it is powered by multiple shredding guitars.

The husband-wife duo the War and Treaty proved a perfect choice for a Stones opening act, with serious dollops of soul, country and blues. And Tanya Trotter proved to be, besides Haynes, the other Tina soundalike of the night, joined by Michael Trotter, who answers the rarely-asked musical question: What if Ike had been a nice guy and able to belt it out as gloriously as his better half?

Ice Spice, Central Cee Trade Cheating Secrets in ‘Did It First’

By Ethan Millman

Ethan Millman

Ice Spice and Central Cee dropped their first collaboration “Did It First” along with an accompanying music video on Thursday, the latest song set for the “In Ha Mood” artist’s upcoming debut album Y2K.

“If he’s cheating I’m doing him worse, no uno I hit the reverse/I ain’t trippin’, the grip in my purse/I don’t care ‘cuz he did it first,” Ice Spice raps in the song’s intro. Central Cee doesn’t hide his infidelity on the song, declaring that “If I went court for all the times I got caught/I’d have about 16 felons.”
