Steve is playing with the original members following the death of Charlie Watts in August of 2021. As a touching tribute, Mick Jagger announced at Anfield this tour was dedicated to him. He said: "In 1962 we met a drummer called Charlie Watts. This is our first tour of England without him. So we want to dedicate this show to him."
The 50,000 seater Anfield Stadium was sold out as the Stones played renditions of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Sympathy for the Devil, Gimme Shelter, Jumpin' Jack Flash and more.
The concert in Liverpool is the third show of the Rolling Stones' summer European 'Sixty' tour. It kicked off on June 1 in Madrid, Spain followed by a concert in Munich, Germany. The tour will run through a total of 10 countries.
