At their final Hollywood Bowl show on Tuesday, the Rolling Stones treated a star-studded audience with two songs the band has never performed live before – one new and one very old. – By Steve Hochman for the Times.
Jagger wryly noted the celebrity presence which included Jack Nicholson, Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey, Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis in several onstage comments during the frisky performance.
“Got a lot of famous people here tonight,” he said at one point. “Want to thank them all for coming. Too numerous to mention, but they’ll all be on stage for the ‘Let It Be’ finale.”
He also commented that the heavy showbiz representation in the audience added a certain pressure to shows here. “I always feel like we’re auditioning,” he said of playing in Los Angeles. “But we always get called back.”
