[Audience Cheering]

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Yeah, we're gonna do a bit of a Blues for you now

[Chorus]
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day

[Verse 1]
Keep everything in the farm yard upset in every way
The dogs begin to bark and hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark and hounds begin to howl
Watch out strange cat people
Little red rooster’s on the prowl

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Verse 2]
If anybody sees my little red rooster
Please drive him on home
If anybody sees my little red rooster
Please him on home
We've had no peace in the bayou
Since that little red rooster came along
Well

[Guitar Solo 2]

[Outro]
I had no peace in the farm yard
Since my little red rooster's been gone

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Eric Clapton! Alright. What’s next? Thank you very much. I'm slightly confused right now

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
