The Rolling Stones Performed their SIXTY tour Live at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on Thursday, this was the first time they performed in the city of Liverpool since 1971. When it came time to play their fifth song of the set, the Stones decided to play “I wanna be your man,” a song written by legends John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles— the track also was of the stones first singles. Rolling Stone magazine reported that Mick Jagger introduced the track stating, “We had decided to rehearse a special version of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, but we decided instead to do a cover song written by other local lads, so we’ll do this especially for you.” The Stones had received the song from Lennon and McCartney in 1963, and in November of the same year it became the bands first top 20 hit in the U.K. climbing its way up to the number 12 spot. The Stones social media page posted the full set list of their Liverpool concert for any curious fans. The European tour, which marks their 60th anniversary tour started on June 1st, and will end on July 31st with a concert in Stockholm, Sweden.
