"So this is our first show of our tour," an animated Mick Jagger told the crowd. "Tonight we're doing something we've never done before... We're going to do the whole of Sticky Fingers"
"I should have warned you before, but there may be a lot of '60s drug references on this record that may puzzle some people. It was a great, groovy scene," he said later, before crashing into 'Sister Morphine'.
