With the new album ‘Blue and Lonesome’ coming on 2 December 2016, The Rolling Stones performed Eddie Taylor’s ‘Ride ‘Em On Down’ at Desert Trip. It was the first and last played by The Stones on 12 July 1962 at the Marquee Club in London.

They also covered The Beatles’ ‘Come Together’. That was a first for The Rolling Stones.

‘Mixed Emotions’ also got a re-reun after being played for the first time since 1990 in Las Vegas last week.
