The Rolling Stones play epic concert at BST Hyde Park – setlist, photos
The first of two concerts in London
The Rolling Stones performed a triumphant career-spanning set at American Express presents BST Hyde Park on Saturday night (25th June) as part of their SIXTY tour.
Nine years on from their last appearance at Hyde Park, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and their phenomenal band treated 65,000 people to hits including ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’, ‘She’s Like A Rainbow’ and ‘Paint It Black.’
The performance also included the first performance of 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' in six years.
Shortly before launching into ‘Tumbling Dice’, Mick Jagger paid homage to late-great drummer Charlie Watts, who passed away last August.
“In 1962, we met a drummer from Wembley called Charlie Watts… and sadly this is our first show in London without him,” Jagger said. “So, we would like to dedicate this show to Charlie!”
Later, a Ukrainian flag flew boldly on the screens during ‘Gimme Shelter’, and the 19-song set concluded with two of the band’s signature tunes, ‘Sympathy For The Devil’ and ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.’
Mick Jagger told the capacity crowd: “It was 60 years this week that we played our first show around the corner at the Marquee Club. We want to thank you for coming back to see us.”
The Rolling Stones play a second show at American Express presents BST Hyde Park on Sunday (3rd July) where they’re joined by Sam Fender, Courtney Barnett, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Dinner Party and The Flints.
