The Rolling Stones debut "Emotional Rescue" on their 50 and Counting Tour

Mick’s finger-wagging takes centre stage where it belongs as the five-piece debut their 1980s classic “Emotional Rescue” at The Staples Centre, LA, for their “50 & Counting Tour”.

It requires no explanation as to why The Rolling Stones decided that the 3^rd May 2013 would be the first time they played “Emotional Rescue” live, hell, after 50 years in the business they can do whatever they like.

From the video below the song seemed the perfect celebration of the band’s undeniable stability in the profession they appear to have mastered.

The whole tour has appeared to be a way of reminding the industry and all who follow it that the Stones still have it in them. And although the ticket prices for the tour were extortionately high, the band are not swinging from ropes attached to the ceiling or rolling over the audience in transparent inflatable objects, but are quite comfortably and charismatically playing out to the faces of their loyal and appreciative fans.
