I thought it was an epic concert and I’ve seen plenty in my 65 years.
Bringing up Irma Thomas to sing her “Time is in on my Side ” with Mick was legendary. Mick explained how they heard this song coming over the radio back in England and loved it so much they recorded it and it became their first hit in the United States.
“Gimme Shelter” gave me goosebumps with the use of the accompanying female vocalist from New Orleans.
You can find an excellent video of this performance posted on YouTube.
Mick still has amazing energy for an 80 year old.
Sure it’s not The Rolling Stones of the 60s or 70s but as a twenty year old kid who came in from Mexico City said.
“The Rolling Stones are the best rock and roll band still going“
I do agree that musicians should keep their political thoughts out of these forums. We come to enjoy their music, not their thoughts on politics
Glad I was able to catch the performance. It’s right up there for me with seeing Paul McCartney, The Who and The Beach Boys.

Wiki:
quote:

Thomas refused to sing her version after the Rolling Stones' recording for multiple decades, telling interviewers that the band had not acknowledged her despite giving support act slots to other singers like Tina Turner. In 1992, she began performing it again following a TV show appearance in which the host Bonnie Raitt introduced her as the original singer. On May 2, 2024, during the Rolling Stones' performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Jagger and Thomas performed the song as a duet, which was the first time the Rolling Stones had performed the song live since 1998
