Mark and I saw the Rolling Stones kick off their 2005 World Tour last May 10, 2005. We initially were returning CDs and DVDs we borrowed from the Lincoln Center Branch of the New York Public Library. The usual chores. But May 10 was not a usual chore day.
To the tune of "Start Me Up," the Rolling Stones played an energetic, three-song set on a stage outside The Juilliard School in Manhattan to announce their 2005 world tour. The set also featured a new song, "Oh No, Not You Again" and ended with "Brown Sugar."
The year-long tour begins Aug. 21 in Boston and comes to the New York area Sept. 15 at Giants Stadium. Tickets prices will be about 10% higher than the previous tour in 2002, ranging from $99 to $110.
But we saw them for FREE! Wah!
