The Rolling Stones: Welcome to Shepherd's Bush

This film documents a surprise gig by The Rolling Stones at Shepherd’s Bush Empire in June 1999. With a small audience of only 1,800 fans, the concert was a departure from the band's usual setlist, featuring rarely heard songs like "Saint of Me" and "I Got the Blues." Notably, the performance included rare live renditions of tracks such as "Melody," which hadn't been played since 1977, and "Moon Is Up," performed for the only time in the band's history.

Sheryl Crow opened the show and joined The Rolling Stones on stage for a memorable version of "Honky Tonk Women." Mick Jagger's proclamation, "If you want to see the hits, go to the big place down the road," set the tone for a night focused on deep cuts rather than the band's biggest hits. This concert highlights a significant moment in the band's legacy, making it an interesting piece for fans and collectors alike.
