The gig opened with a lively, if slightly ragged rendition of their Lennon & McCartney-penned 1963 hit “I Wanna Be Your Man”. The next couple of hours was a nostalgia trip for those in attendance, who were treated to mostly excellent performances of the Stones’ biggest hits. A rare omission was “(I Cant Get No) Satisfaction,” which was scheduled to be the closing song but couldn’t be played because the venue’s curfew had already long passed.

The triumphant live return included collaborations with special guests Jeff Beck (“I’m Going Down”) and Mary J. Blige (“Gimme Shelter”), as well as reunions with former members Bill Wyman (“It’s Only Rock ’n Roll” and “Honky Tonk Women”) and Mick Taylor (“Midnight Rambler”).
