28 Apr 2013 Jahr - HOLLYWOOD REPORTER The Rolling Stones Bring Out the Hits and the Stars at Surprise Club Show

Beschreibung:

Among the 700 lucky fans who got to see a hit-heavy set at Los Angeles' Echoplex: Johnny Depp, Bruce Willis, Skrillex, Brian Grazer, Steve Bing and Jim Gianopulos.

They came. They rocked. They rolled… in an insanely small venue.

Legendary band The Rolling Stones played a surprise gig at Los Angeles’ Echoplex on Saturday night. The club, normally home to hipster acts on coveted weekend slots, has a capacity of 700. Admittance was granted by lottery, held in early afternoon with tickets selling for $20 a pop.

The show comes just five days before Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, Charlie Watts and friends kick off a North American tour at L.A.’s Staples Center on May 3, and while it was clear they were still working out some kinks, says one lucky concert-goer, “The band was on from the minute they stepped on the stage.”
