The Rolling Stones are back in Nashville. Here's what to know about Saturday's showDave Paulson
Nashville Tennessean - Oct 8
We know it's only rock and roll, but it's no small deal that the Rolling Stones make a grand return to Music City this weekend.
The rock legends bring their "No Filter" tour to Nashville's Nissan Stadium on Saturday — their first local appearance since 2015, and their sixth Nashville concert in their 59-year career.
It will be their first, of course, without founding drummer Charlie Watts, who died in August at age 80.
Whether you're planning to join Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and company in person — or just plan to hear their licks echoing down the Cumberland River — here's what you can expect.
Vote for your favorite
Several of the Stones' greatest songs tip a wide-brimmed hat to the sounds of Nashville, and you can definitely plan on hearing at least one of them on Saturday. Which one? That's up to you.
On this tour, the band is letting fans cast a vote for a song to add to each concert's setlist, and Saturday's ballot is full of country-leaning songs.
You can choose from "Far Away Eyes," "Dead Flowers," "Let It Bleed," "Sweet Virginia" (our pick), or the song that already has it in the bag, "Wild Horses."
In 2018, Jagger told The Tennessean about the early influence of country music on the band.
“Keith and I particularly were interested in country music (growing up). These songs were popular. Unlike the blues, which was a bit hidden in people’s minds, country music and the big hits that those people had were very much in the mainstream.”
