At the Longchamp racecourse in Paris, on Saturday, the Rolling Stones celebrated their sixty years of existence in front of 50,000 conquered spectators. In the middle of the classics of the rock band, Mick Jagger took the opportunity to chat a bit with his fans, telling them some surprising anecdotes.
After asking those present in English how they felt, the singer continued, in impeccable French: “Do you know how I got here this afternoon? I came by bicycle with Anne Hidalgo.” This sentence, pronounced immediately, caused boos from the public, as evidenced by videos broadcast on social networks and the report of a journalist from the Parisian.
The 78-year-old legend appeared somewhat bewildered on stage at the audience’s reaction.
A mini tour for the group’s 60th anniversary
Before lighting up the Longchamp racecourse on Saturday, the legendary group performed on Wednesday, in the midst of a heat wave, in Lyon at the Groupama Stadium. In particular, 39°C had been reached.
These two concerts in France are part of a 14-date mini-tour called Sixty (Soixante) in reference to his sixty-year career. The Rolling Stones hadn’t performed in France for four years. Their last appointment in France dates back to 2018 when they burned down the stage of the legendary Vélodrome stadium in Marseille for their “No Filter Tour”.
Despite the Covid-19 he contracted in June, Mick Jagger electrified Paris with his acolytes Keith Richards and Ron Wood, playing many hits from You can’t always get what you want a I miss you going by paint it black Y I start.
