Tonight the Rolling Stones began their 50th anniversary tour with the biggest possible bang, as a host of special guests joined them for a hit-packed show in London's O2 Arena. Former Stones comrades Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor returned to the ranks, while Mary J. Blige and Jeff Beck were also on hand to help with the celebrations.
Bill Wyman who left the Stones in 1992 was greeted with warm applause and a handshake from Keith Richards as he returned to play bass on "It's Only Rock and Roll" and "Honky Tonk Women." But the biggest cheers came for Taylor, who hasn't been a Stone since 1974. The tickets were pricey but in my opinion it was all worth it to see Mick Jagger prancing around on stage like a teenage boy!!
Mick also thanked the fans for supporting them and buying their records for 50 years and ran a video of fans talking about their feelings about the Stones. There was Elton John. And there was Johhny Depp. And there were us. The fans
The collage was done nicely, running quickly with bits from fans in Europe, USA and Japan, telling about their love for the band. It was a 5 minutes video, nice! And as you might know, we all helped in a bit in making this video. Real fans! Fans of all ages were there this night. The stage was spectacular no expense was spared in this extravaganza !
To me the Rolling Stones are the greatest rock band ever and I will never forget this night !!
Thank you Rolling Stones !!
