The Rolling Stones, who have played more than 2,000 concerts across seven decades, wowed fans with three new tunes as well as their classic gems.
The Rolling Stones opened their Stones Tour '24 Hackney Diamonds on Sunday to a sold-out crowd of more than 70,000 fans at NRG Stadium in Houston. The Stones played just three new tracks from the album, choosing to focus instead on classic hits including “Start Me Up,” “Gimme Shelter,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and 'Satisfaction,' according to a press release. The decision to focus on older material was not unsurprising for a group with more than six decades of songs to choose from.
'Hackney Diamonds' is the rockers' first studio album of original material in nearly two decades, following 2005's 'A Bigger Bang.' It's also the Stones' first LP since the death of founding drummer Charlie Watts in 2021. It's the first time the band has been on the road since its 60th anniversary tour in 2022, and the tour will also feature a stop at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on May 2.
