Last night at the NRG Stadium in Houston, the Rolling Stones kicked off their new tour, featuring the first of 19 dates across the United States and Canada. In front of 72 thousand people, the Stones performed 18 songs for about 2 hours, starting with “Start Me Up” and concluding with “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” as an encore.
