Last night the Rolling Stones played the Desert Trip festival in Indio, California. With a uniquely legendary line-up, the band played alongside their contemporaries, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, the Who and Roger Waters.
Following Bob Dylan’s opening concert, the Rolling Stones treated fans to a twenty song set featuring some surprises. For the first time ever, the Stones covered the Beatles’ track ‘Come Together’.
After announcing the forthcoming release of their new album, Blue And Lonesome, on Thursday, the band previewed ‘Ride ‘Em On Down’, originally written and recorded in 1955 by Eddie Taylor.
Another surprise for fans, was the re-introduction of ‘Mixed Emotions’ to the setlist, which has not been played live by the Stones since 1990.
The Rolling Stones return to Desert Trip next Friday, 14th October . From there, they will head to Vegas for two shows at the T Mobile Arena.
