It's Only Rock and Roll...

And I LOVE it!  

Ok, so no stitching in this post, only guitars, dancing, music, rock legends, and sheer JOY!
Thursday evening I got to see my favorite band, the ROLLING STONES, once more.  
It was a rockin' good time and I got to spend some time with all my Stones friends and catch up, it has been a long five years since the last time!  

And they certainly did not disappoint this time around....they may be old, but they can still rock like years ago!  Here are a few snaps from the night...

A view of the stage, however not from my seat... had to keep climbing! lol!


Lots of great hits!  
Get off of my Cloud
Paint it Black
It's Only Rock and Roll but I like it
Wild Horses


Mick still has boundless energy.... always on the move and always dancing


Classic Gimme Shelter done here with Lisa Fischer...



Special guest John Mayer was there to jam on Respectable, awesome guitar work!


Satisfaction...Jumping Jack Flash...
I got some video of Around and Around...A classic not played in years... 
This was a real fun one, Mick dancing like he did in the '60s :D


Keith had a fun time.....


...jamming out with Ronnie Wood...


...and even Mick Taylor from long ago joined them for a song...


Mick is a frontman like no other, 
keeps the crowd on their feet and dancing for hours!


And hearing You Can't Always Get What You Want with full choir was the icing on the cake!
Sometimes, you do get what you need :D

This evening is the Stones pay-per-view special and if you love their music I promise you it is well worth it!  I know where I will be at 9pm, breaking out my Moves like Jagger while following the original!  Won't you dance with me? :D  cause you never know when it will be the Last Time.

Have a rockin' weekend everyone!

How cool! sounds like you had a fantastic time :-)
My OH has been working in London on the Odean Cinema and the Rolling Stones were at the Premier for their film right next door, my OH was totally blown away because they were within an arms reach of them as they were working inside the barriers, he just kept on about it everytime he phoned me, lol

Have a great weekend

Looks like an amazing time, Krista!! Where they get their energy is beyond me--it must come from the music :) Thanks for sharing your photos--you'll have such great memories of that night...
