Description
THE ROLLING STONES “WELCOME TO SHEPHERD’S BUSH” The Rolling Stones gave an inspired performance during this show on June 8, 1999 at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London for 1,800 lucky people, which is collected on the double black vinyl Welcome to Shepherd’s Bush.
Marking a return to iconic London venues where the band made their mark during the happy 60s British Invasion era, this “secret gig” took place just days before two sold-out shows at the 70,000-seat Wembley Stadium.
The shows followed the release of the band’s 1998 live album, No Security, a series of concerts in North America between January and April of that year before returning to the UK.
The audience was packed with stars at this concert that marked The Rolling Stones’ homecoming. From Anita Pallenberg to Aerosmith, Jerry Hall, and Jon Bon Jovi, along with Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Bob Geldof, Pete Townshend, and Lenny Kravitz. The 90-minute set featured several rarely played songs, including “Moon Is Up” and “Brand New Car” from *Voodoo Lounge*, and “Melody” from *Black and Blue*.
Another highlight was the opening act, Sheryl Crow, who joined the group on stage to perform Honky Tonk Women.
