Rolling Stones Start 'Hackney Diamonds' Tour in Houston

The first Rolling Stones show in nearly two years mixed in hits like "Gimme Shelter" and "Miss You" with three songs from 'Hackney Diamonds.'

The Hackney Diamonds portion of the evening began at this point with leadoff single “Angry,” which popped onstage much like it did during their surprise album release show at the New York club Racket last year. With all due respect to past Stones backup singers Lisa Fischer and Sasha Allen, who are both very gifted vocalists, “Gimme Shelter” hadn’t sounded quite this haunting since Merry Clayton sang on the original recording back in 1969. “Start Me Up”“Get Off of My Cloud”“Rock Off”“Out of Time”“Angry”“Beast of Burden”“Mess It Up”“Tumbling Dice”“You Can’t Always Get What You Want”“Little T & A”“Sympathy for the Devil”“Gimme Shelter”“Honky Tonk Women”“Miss You”“Paint It Black”“Jumpin’ Jack Flash”“Sweet Sounds of Heaven”“Satisfaction”
