The Rolling Stones have played a warm-up show at LA’s 1200 capacity Fonda Theatre in Hollywood.
The Stones promised to play every song from the Sticky Fingers album and they did as well as a tribute to BB King with ‘Rock Me Baby’.
‘We’re gonna do a bit of a tribute to BB King who was a hero of ours. He was a lovely guy & who was so influential on us,’ Mick Jagger said introducing the song.
Two songs from Sticky Fingers, ‘Moonlight Mile’ and ‘Sister Morphine’ had not been played since the 90s. ‘You Gotta Move’, had not been played live by The Stones since 1976.
‘This one is by Mississippi Fred McDowell, with a 12string & Keith’s gonna do the 12string tonight YOU GOTTA MOVE,’ Mick announced.
