Full Summary:
The Stones played more than two hours of hits on Tuesday, June 9.
The Rolling Stones at Bobby Dodd
Mick Jagger at Bobby Dodd
Keith Richards at Bobby DoddThe Atlanta skyline loomed over Bobby Dodd Stadium last night as the space usually reserved for cheering on the Yellow Jackets was filled instead with more than 40,000 cheering rock 'n' roll fans.
The Rolling Stones played for more than two hours, hitting some of the highlights of their career such as "Gimme Shelter," "Start Me Up," "Jumping Jack Flash," and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." The Emory University Concert Choir provided guest vocals on "You Can't Always Get What You Want." An online vote from fans added "Some Girls" to the lineup.
The show marked the first concert at Bobby Dodd Stadium since 1994 and the second appearance on campus for the Rolling Stones. The hall of fame rockers performed on The Flats in 1989.
Before the show, lead singer Mick Jagger posed with a photo of Buzz. During band introductions, he playfully introduced the group's drummer, Charlie Watts, as a "Real Rambling Wreck."
