[Audience Cheering]

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
How ya doin' out there? You okay? Are you feeling good? Are you feeling good? This one we call "Doom and Gloom."

I had a dream last night I was piloting a plane
And all the passengers were drunk and insane
I crash landed in a Louisiana swamp
Shot up a horde of zombies
But I come out on top

What's it all about?
Guess it just reflects my mood
Sitting in the dirt
Feeling kind of hurt

All I hear is doom and gloom
All is darkness in my room
Through the light, your face I see
Baby take a chance
Baby won't you dance with me

Lost all that treasure in an overseas war
It just goes to show you don't get what you paid for
Battle to the rich and you worry 'bout the poor
Put my feet up on the couch and lock all the doors

Hear a funky noise
Tightening of the screws
Feeling kind of hurt
Sitting in the dirt

All I hear is doom and gloom
But when those drums go
Boom boom boom
Through the night your face I see
Baby take a chance
Baby won't you dance with me
Yeah!
Baby won't you dance with me
Ah, yeah

Fracking deep for oil
But there's nothing in the sump
There's kids all picking at the garbage dump
I'm running out of water so I better prime the pump
I'm trying to stay sober but I end up drunk

We'll be eating dirt
Living on the side of the road
There's some food for thought
Kind of makes your head explode
Feeling kind of hurt
Yeah

But all I hear is doom and gloom
All is darkness in my room
Through the night, your face I see
Baby c'mon
Baby won't you dance with me
Yeah
Yeah

Baby won't you dance with me
Feeling kind of hurt
Baby won't you dance with me
Ah, yeah, c'mon
Dance with me
Sitting in the dirt
Baby won't you dance with me

[Audience Applause]

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Oh my goodness. That was fantastic, I loved it. You know, this time in England, it's like the best place to be in the world, ya know? Let's hope we blow like sweet roses in the Summer air, as Summer leaves have all too short.. Whoo!

The Rolling Stones

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.
