THE ROLLING Stones kicked off their 50 and Counting tour in front of a packed house last night.
Frontman Mick Jagger strutted his way through the set at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in trademark style as he belted out Jumpin´ Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women and Brown Sugar.
The 69-year-old singer told gig goers: "We first played LA in 1965. Thank you for coming to see us. We really appreciate it."
He was joined onstage by Gwen Stefani during the hit-packed show.
The No Doubt singer performed Wild Horses wearing a top featuring the band´s iconic lips and tongue logo.
Country singer Keith Urban also made an appearance.
The 45-year-old Kiwi played guitar alongside Keith Richards as he sang Respectable with Jagger.
And former Stones member Mick Taylor played on Midnight Rambler to huge cheers from the crowd.
The two hour, 23 song set also featured their first concert performance of Emotional Rescue, the group´s hit song from 1980.
The show started with a brass performance of Satisfaction by the UCLA Bruins marching band.
Jagger, Ronnie Wood, Richards and Charlie Watts then entered the stage to play Get Off Of My Cloud, following it with The Last Time.
The tour is to mark the band´s fifty years in the industry since bursting on to the music scene at London´s Marquee Club in 1962.
Days before the show, hundreds of seats were still available and secondary sellers scrambled to unload tickets by slashing prices from the original $250 to $600 price range which annoyed many fans.
The band also released additional seats at a modest $85 on its official website, the only price tickets that quickly sold out for the May 3 concert.
