The Rolling Stones kicked off their 60th anniversary tour in Madrid, Spain on Wednesday night (June 1) with an incredible setlist of fan favorites and touching tributes to their late drummer, Charlie Watts.

In the wake of Watts’ passing in 2021, The Stones -- Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood -- took the stage on the first night of their SIXTY tour backed by drummer Steve Jordan who has worked with the band numerous times in the past and is now taking over full-time duties.
Almost hitting the 20-song mark, Jagger & Co. crushed through 17 songs beginning with their 1976 Beggars Banquet hit "Street Fighting Man," and 1966's Big Hits single "19th Nervous Breakdown" before addressing Watts' absence. "This is our first European tour without Charlie, we miss him a lot," Jagger said in Spanish before launching into their 1989 Steel Wheels track "Sad, Sad, Sad."
After a fully rounded set that included old faves and new jams, the band returned for a two-song encore featuring their massive hits "Gimme Shelter," performed draped in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, followed by their biggest single, "Satisfaction."
